We knew it at the time, hell no.

Don't sign a player to another deal when they haven't earned it. Shaq's was based on projection and not production and Boston is worth a one year deal because he is a hole filler and not a long-term contributor (hence why he hasn't had a multiyear deal until this one since he left on his first contract). 

Bad teams make bad decisions and that is what all of this is.

Yep, Shaq was signed to be the player we always hoped he would become not for the player has had so far proven to be. At least it's a decently structured deal that we can bail on after two seasons, granted Hurney isn't around to inevitably restructure it when he should he cutting bait

No. I also think the McCaffrey contract was a mistake. However, if viewed from the standpoint of Hurney these moves made sense.I believe Hurney is in the last  year of his contract. He desperately wants to show improvement upon which a new contract could be justified. Therefore, in a sense, these mistakes rest on Tepper's shoulders. After all, he implicitly approved of this situation and was probably involved explicitly in many of these decisions.

I confess to being very disappointed. I really hoped that Tepper would engender more data driven decisions. I really do not think data was driving these decisions. Many of these decisions seemed driven by public relations and/or desperation.

Also, I'm calling it now: CMC contract gonna look bad in a few years. RBs never last long and we have a tendency to drive players to the dirt.

 

Plenty of people said that at the time too(I was one). In hindsight, they did actually have the length about right for a player like CMC. If injuries start robbing significant time(which they have now), then it will obviously look much, much worse.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
