Don't mind Jno left. He got what he was worth. I got no ill will towards him. BUT to be fair it's not like he was tearing it up for 4-5 years and didn't get sponsorship opportunities. He had 1/2 year and then followed up with an amazing year and left. No business would have wanted him to sponsor their product after 1/2 year of good football playing on the Carolina Panthers. Maybe this offseason he could have found some but he can't blame sponsorships on Panthers IMO.

Didn't we let Josh do Conan's "Clueless Gamer" segment with Von Miller before the superbowl?
Didn't we let Josh match up one on one with OBJ for the vast majority of that poo-show Giants game media frenzy?
Didn't he get all sorts of interviews and segments about his Batman persona and "Theives Ave"?

Gross essentially was forced into a retirement date when Gettlemen did his deal.

IDTS
Gross was constantly complaining about the amount of work it took him to keep his weight on during his "This is Gross" podcast.
He probably hated being asked to take a pay-cut, but Gman literally didn't have a choice at that point with how badly our cap was screwed up at like 20 mil over, mostly due to dead money.
He certainly backed that point up about his weight.  Looks like it all shed naturally immediately following his departure.

Norman's franchise tag was rescinded by the Carolina Panthers this past offseason, and he then signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington in April. He told The Magazine that he felt constrained in Carolina, that he was asked to cut down on his trash talk but wouldn't because "I'm not a fake."

He said the team's conservative nature made him expendable.

"They kind of shunned me," he said. "They turned down a lot of stuff for me, interviews, sponsorship deals, stuff I didn't even know about. They wanted it to be about the two main guys, Cam [Newton] and Luke [Kuechly]."

In Washington, he said he thinks he can "grow."

"...t feels like everybody can say whatever they want," he said. "It's a free-flowing kind of place. It's like going from a dictatorship to freedom."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁

      I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation.
