Pff is a terrible site

 

But yeah all I heard this offseason was how there wasn’t a good tackle in this draft, but I knew it Ramczyk was a beast at Wisconsin 

Not a lot of other resources for rating offensive linemen. Plus, I don't need a rating to see how terrible Kalil is. Just watch a game.

I loved Ramczyk. God damn was I pissed as hell when the Aints got both him and Lattimore. fug them, lucky fugs. Didn't expect Kamara to be that amazing before the draft but damn they got him late too. I hope all three come down to earth next year and this year is a total fluke.

Man if Dave had re-signed Ginn and picked up Whitworth? Sigh... Why did we have to have a Kalil brother hyping up Matt... 

Over 90% of the time I'm strongly against going for some big name free agent, but Whitworth was one guy that I would've gladly taken. Of course he's on the older side and at any point his play could fall off a cliff, but with a year to year contract that takes that into account he deserves to be a top 3 paid OT, and I'd have been happy to be paying that to him right now. I'm not going to say it was a misfire not signing Whitworth because who the hell knows if he would've even played here (maybe he wanted to go to the west coast...?) but the M. Kalil signing was definitely a misfire. A bad one too. If it was indeed a DG move then by far his worst move. I really think it was more JR though just because that signing was so uncharacteristic of DG compared to his other moves his entire time here.

I am not sure I buy into the JR meddling storyline only because it doesn't seem to jibe with the rest of the things that were rumored(that he wouldn't play ball with guys like TD, etc). Either way, inking that contract was a fireable offense if I have ever seen one. Even the layman could see what an awful move it was. One of the top 10 worst contracts this franchise has ever dealt out, and that is saying a lot.

It’s not like his numbers are really that much different from the past few years.  People though, or were hoping, something would be different.  I’m usually not a fan of overpaying free agents but I was hoping we would offer Whiteorth enough for him to consider us.

For those that want to point out Ramcyzk I would guess a lot of them would have picked Robinson.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
