How low is the bar for Mahon?

At this point Id trade a decent pick for a G

 

it sucks when you hit on picks and UFDAs YOU CANT RETAIN YOUR MOTHER FUGGIN TALENT

 

 

the league should allow guys you draft or sign as UFDAs an extra cap space bonus.   Like norwells contract would only count for 60% of his cap hit. 

 

It would reward teams who build through the draft to retain guys

 

what a fuggin shame

There tends to be an inverse correlation between desperation and bar height. The higher the desperation, the lower the bar.

Lowered bar notwithstanding, Thursday probably takes on a much greater than anticipated meaning. Mahon is about to experience the most important game of his life. I hope the moment is not too big for him.

I'm excited. Hate for the injury to anyone but I don't think it is that much of a downgrade. In fact I will be patient with him.  But this does point out the underlying real issue.  That we have a good prospect in Larsen but can't let him get reps because the guy we pay 9 mil at C can't survive a season.  Hamstrings the rest of the line.  

I'm hoping both Mahon and Moton prove to be on the same par as the 2 they are replacing with much higher ceilings over time.

BTW, I just posted this in the Amini torn Meniscus thread, but since the CBA in 2011, only 1 rookie UDFA guard has ever started all 16 games, and only 9 (incl Norwell) have started at least 8.

What I just realized though is that the 1 guy who did it, Patrick Omameh ( for Tampa in 2014), was the Jags LG last season and was just replaced by Norwell. Talk about Twilight Zone...

    • I would say that he's pulling things out of his ass to get people to visit his site.
    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
