Shout Out To Moton

For doing last night what our line would never do for Cam when he was here - stand up for your QB.  When Fowler and Harris(?) cheapshotted Teddy, he ran up in there and roughed them up.  Now, Fowler then tossed Moton to the ground, but that's beside the point.  He went to bat for his guy, and we need more of that attitude from the OL.

Thank you, T-Mo.

(Trai Turner just shrugged his shoulders somewhere)

Moton is the only one who gives a damn. To bad his money is tied up in Paradis and M Kalil lol. 

I still don't know why we bring up Matt Kalil so much. Between Torrey Smith, Short this year (stupidly not cut), Apple, Roberts, Poe and Paradis, we used $65M for poor or no results over the past couple years. Matt Kalil's $25M total cap hit is tony compared to the dumpster fire signings and not releasing moves by Marty.

For some reason, I think people cling to Kalil's $55M contract which had $30M he never got and his dead cap because he was designated post June 1st so it was spread over two years. Also, when we did that option bonus conversion, it meant that he only counted $10M total during the 2 years he played. We really pushed out a lot of money to make him cheap year 1 and 2.

Anyway, hopefully when he's off the books he won't come up, but his contract really hasn't been an albatross compared to the continued mistakes by our buddy Marty.

Yea I could’ve went on a rant of where the money was stupidly allocated across the board but instead of that long as paragraph I just stuck to the olineman.

There is something to this--we want Nasty Brawlers on the OL with some self discipline.  Paradis and Reed and Little have pussified our OL.  It is embarrassing.

If you repeatedly surrender A gap, you have no place in the NFL.  I expect to see some radical changes.

Reed is not an NFL caliber player.

I  remember Trai Turner being the enforcer on our O-line. If anything happened to Cam, Trai was the first to throw bows. 

I liked Turner unfortunately his body just couldn't hold up.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
