True, and I was aware of that, but that is the difference between winners and losers.  At the end of the year, we were 6-10 team, so we were not competitive.  Teams knew they could count on us to screw up if it came down to it.

As many others have said, we were in position to win 10+ games, which to me sure sounds like we were competitive as you would say. Defining our grand ability to choke late in games last season as not being a competitive is asinine. I think the word you are looking for is clutch.

Okie, wasn't who I hoped for but he's young and has shown flashes.  If you want a young LT, you've got to pay but it'll be interesting if he's making more than Ricky Wagner.  Shows we must believe in the kid.

A high draft pick OT who had a great rookie season but whose play has dropped every year since who wants a change of scenery to rebuild his career??? Sounds just like Oher two years go. I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

Nobody's afraid of you, Chuck.

You're like a five year old little brother threatening to beat up an older brother who's a high school football player.

I wouldnt be nearly as concerned about this move if we somehow structured it like Okung's deal last year.  It was 5 yr/50M plus, but the first year was only a cap hit of 5.2M and then jumped to about 11M in year two, but obviously gave the Broncos an option to bail after year one.

I don't think we have the same leverage as the Broncos did when they signed him following their stolen Superbowl win, so I doubt we could leverage that, but I hope...

It should be worth noting that pretty much everyone agrees that the Broncos got an amazing deal because Okung was representing himself. An agent probably would have gotten better guarantees. This is especially true since the Broncos opted out after one year.  I think I saw that Okung ended up only making $8.5M for the one year.  That appears to be significantly under market this year given what Whitworth just signed for and the rumored numbers for Kalil. 

I've read that agents and teams are upset because it appears the Chargers have improperly been in contact with Okung during this period. If he goes there, I'm going to guess we probably never seriously in the running.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
