Lol and Cam played with Ryan Kalil his whole career. He had Jordan Gross his first 3 years. He had Norwell playing at an all-pro level. He had Turner playing at a pro bowl level. We used to complain in here about how long Cam held the ball before Norv Turner and extended plays often getting sacked. Remember Kyle escaping JJ Watt back when he was the great White hope? This is not a debate about Kyle vs Cam. That poo is settled. This is about an OL that’s about to be a top 5 worst pass blocking units in NFL history including a couple games with Cam.

There is no one on this OL that is close to the four guys mentioned above. Those guys were all part of multiple top 10 rated OLs during Cam’s career so your one anecdote about one OL doesn’t mean anything. Paradis, Turner, Little, Williams and evening Van Roten and Moton have had bad games. The first 4 have had ridiculously bad games way too often.

i'd take any combination of this line over Bell - Silatolu - Kalil - Velsaco - Chandler-- poo even when we put in Trai and Norwell it didn't matter considering Bell and Chandler is quite possibly the worst LT/RT starting combination in the history of the NFL.

why anyone would want to traumatize another qb behind this shitshow of a line is beyond me. yeah lets david carr a new guy because reasons,  that makes a ton of sense

I get the rationale, but we're only talking about three games.

If three bad games were enough to permanently traumatize him, he probably doesn't belong in the league anyway.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
