I feel terrible for Penaut and Allen

No need to feel bad for them. People don't realize how difficult it is to even make it to a Super Bowl. Just being on that stage is a huge accomplishment. 15-1 is even rarer.

Everything hurts after a loss but this is the best season in franchise history, it's not a cinderella story that's once in a lifetime. Kuechly and Cam are two of the best at their position in the league, they're young and under contract.

The pieces are in place. Denver was where we are just two years ago. Gettleman and Richardson have made tough decisions to get us to this point. We're so close. This is not the end, this is the beginning. Also Manning and Brady will both be out of the league in the next 3-4 years. After that it's a heavily NFC favored league and we're right there with Seattle.

It just wasn't our time but it will be. LeBRon had to lose a couple NBA finals, MJ had to an ECF , Elway had to lose a Super Bowl. It wasn't our time. It will be our time.

 

The team comes before the players. Without releasing guys like Smith and Williams and Hardy, who knows if we ever make it here. Tough decisions, cap focus, and constant improvement in all facets day-in and day-out.

 

Keep pounding.

Money isn't everything. Putting everything you have into your work and not having it pay off would be disappointing no matter what it is you're doing, getting paid or not. NFL or construction or banking or starting a small business, whatever.

 

I would've included TD but he's got a couple more years here for sure, whereas Peanut and Allen's future is completely up in the air.

Meh, whatever. I get that they love the game and work hard, but I don't feel sorry for them.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
