Todman to Steel City


Cape Fear Cat

Recommended Posts

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of regret that move.  It probably is the one I have the most questions about.  I really had no big emotional tie to any guy at RB, but I thought Todman brought a welcomed new dimension to our offense.  I like all the guys we kept too, but I seriously hope Wegher turns out to be worth the gamble.

yeah after the move was made yesterday I almost started having buyers remorse with Wegher.

I like Deangelo and wish him well he is a quality human being, but I dont see what the Steelers were thinking unless they are going to use him for screen passes or short passes or something. He is still quick and elusive in space, but he just isnt a RB1 because he cant hit the hole through the line anymore. He needs to play on a team with a roadgrading line like Dallas as a homerun RB behind a bruiser like Gore or Brandon Jacobs was.

I would not be surprised if Todman has a more traditional RB role than D-lo has on that team. I cant remember how good their o-line is right now, they are usually good but they have lost M. Pouncey to injury. They probably got two equal backs for a very uneaqual price. lol

the girlfriend is a Steelers fan and a legitimate football fan and has been saying the D is hot garbage for weeks, so they better hope the O can score

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
