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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
