The guy was never the same after his injury.. elway was right

As the article shows, we ask Paradis to do things basically no center in the entire NFL is being asked to do, on a regular basis.  And that is directly leading to some of his mishaps.

While he does have some issues, those issues were known before we signed him.  Weaker at run blocking, smaller so power guys can push him back.  Nearly every team in the NFL doesn't have their Center alone in the position we put Paradis in.

The Huddle isn't going to like that..and is going to like that at the same time.

They will enjoy the part of the article basically saying "the coaching is bad". 

They will not enjoy the part of the article saying Paradis isn't actually that bad.

What if we are in the “all of the above” category. Why he sux really doesn’t matter. 
 

   I would seriously sit him down and find out how “hurt” he is. If it’s that bad sit him down and get him healthy for next year. Larsen can surely play this good now and gets some more valuable experience. If him getting beaten on a regular Basis and is injury-related(hopefully) then he’s doing us and himself no good at all.

Which is odd because it would give people a new weapon in bashing Rivera.

Exactly. I have thought Paradis has been underperforming based off a few highlights, and was surprised a couple weeks back when Turner said Paradis had his best game and has become a leader amongst the group. I admit I based my opinion off a few noticeable plays, but overall I see now that he is doing a lot of good things, and being put in some really tough spots based on what the coaches are asking him to do. That was an extremely informative article with good examples.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
