Here's what I've discovered from long years of following football and football-associated media.

The better the football is, the more the media is liked and appreciated.

The worse/mediocre it is, the more the media is critiqued negatively.

Not saying Mixon is good or even average.

All I'm saying is that he has the absolute pleasure of being the media presence for one of the most boring and UN-innovative head coaches in fugging league history.  Which has to be a damned difficult thing to create "excitement" when announcing.

I can buy that.

Again, I'm not a huge Mixon hater, but what I remember most about his hiring was that he was a color commentator for basketball at the time, so he switched both sports and specialties.

I also remember that he got the job during the era of Jerry Richardson, and that via both inside info and anecdotal evidence we know that Richardson was willing to give people jobs and promotions into positions for which they weren't actually qualified if he liked them or they were loyal.

So here we are...

I have to admit he didn't particularly impress me in the previous games.

I think he's going to get the same quasi redshirt season Haynes did last year.

He has the speed, but he's going to need to bulk up to be consistently effective

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
