I feel sad that he feels like he can't play up to NFL standards anymore. This 3-4 switch Rivera came up with killed him.

I think he played up to NFL standards but not his own. He hasn't been as quick to run into danger for obvious reasons since the concussion. He was easily the best lb in the NFL before the concussions, you could definitely see where it took some of his intensity away. He was imo still playing at a top 3 level however not the way he wanted to imo.

Good for him. Buy a nice boat and spend a few years fishing and hanging with family, maybe get into coaching when ready. Great guy and great player. No need to risk losing his marbles with another concussion. Go live a life Luke.

Many of us said the same thing about Cam when RR Shula were calling QB dives and traps and options--We are seeing the results of a "Me now" coach who was given nearly a decade to not win a SB--we had better athletes and should have 2 rings-but better coaches beat our better athletes---Thanks RR---for trashing the guys who saved your career and made the world think you were legit.  Washington will fire you in 2-3 years,and you can Retire knowing that you scammed the league.

MHS831  I fully agree with you and couldn't have said it better.

This. It hurts and it sucks because he is still great and been a mainstay for almost a decade. But players come and go and everyone eventually moves on. Wish him noting but good health and a joyful post football life.

Whatever dude. The internet is serious business. 

I put you on ignore months ago and haven’t regretted it for a moment. Your silly immature behavior ever since auto pooing every post of mine you see and then having the balls to tell other posters to grow up when it’s obvious to everyone but you how completely asinine and childish your behavior is would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

Oh and don’t bother to reply. You’re still on ignore. Telling you what a dipshit you are in no way means I have slightest interest in anything your third grade level mind has to offer. Have fun with your childish pooing of everything.

Think about a rebuid--

That may be the plan?

Luke: $15m

Cam: $21m if we trade him; $19m to cut

Greg: $12m


That is about $46-8m. 

Cutting Poe would create almost $10m.

Add that to our $25m Cap room, we are looking at somewhere in the $80m range.

 

The last time Marty had that kind of cash, he overpaid for players from a 2-14 team. 

That's not the way that will work. Luke will generate $11.84 mil in dead cap and create $3.67 mil in cap space. Greg retiring would create $8.1 mil in cap space and $3.7 mil in dead cap. 

 

So, cutting Cam and Luke/Greg retiring would only create an additional $26.47 mil in cap space. Not really a lot of consolation considering the value of what would be lost. It's not even technically enough money to sign a franchise caliber QB.

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
