Dumb if attempting to do that with a RB.  I think it was a way to keep fans somewhat sold on the team....stupidly.

Generational RB's get bank, I know a lot of people are forgetting just how good CMC is because he didn't play this season. Mostly due to the coaching staff in fact. I'm sure if we were an actual contender team CMC would play through those injuries. But he's going to be worth every penny we spent on him IF this coaching staff can get their poo together.

I'm not arguing the amount, I'm arguing the timing.  It wasn't smart.

Ya it was from a team standpoint. It was pre-ratifacation of the new CBA. They didn't know if they would have had to shell out 25 mil for him a year in two years cause that's where it was heading before COVID.

Disagree, but to each their own.

The person who was most concerned with winning this season, the one without a seven year deal, was the one who wanted Teddy

assuming you are not talking about tepper, who seems to be playing a long game, this is wonderful news when combined with an apparent gulf between hurney and rhule.

very curious about the timing here. tepper's comments about having differences in approach - marty with a "traditional" approach and tepper more data-driven - make me wonder if bridgewater himself wasn't a fulcrum for hurney's future one way or another.

could data analytics have suggested bridgewater was going to be forgettable? plenty here will tell you so.

could hurney have chosen teddy as his hill to die on, betting the house on his approach and failing spectacularly?

a mid-season firing like this, as well as tepper's comments, suggest some kind of flash point. i can't help but think that flash point was teddy.

I wonder if part of the decision was TB still at the helm.  I know some GMs (especially traditional GMs) will insist that the player they are paying 20 million per season needs to play if healthy.  I think many of us would like to see PJ Walker take some snaps.  Was Hurney insisting to Rhule that TB needs to start?  Or was it Rhule's decision?

Now that's interesting.

Not really.  Teddy's signing always seemed to be a Hurney desperation move to me.  This whole off-season seemed to be all Hurney, except for most of the draft which was not a typical Hurney draft.  But it's early so most could turn out to be another Hurney stinker.

      Herbert doing all that scrambling with that injury just seems flat out dumb. Doesn't help he's holding onto the ball way too long.

      He had 3.3 yards a carry for 72 yards his last game against a Commanders team that was resting starters. His stats looked solid against the Eagles before that with 4.5 yards a carry until you realize the Eagles crushed the Cowboys 41-7 and he was getting chunk plays in the 4th when the Eagles were more than likely in prevent.  The game before that he had 23 yards averaging 1.8 per carry in a win against the Bucs.    Now keep in mind he only got double digit carries once the first 4 games and it kind of shows he can’t handle being a feature back all year long. I’m not hating on him or anything just don’t want to pay him when I think we can get similar production for cheap. Our running game lives and dies by our OL.

      Now ND social media groups are floating the idea of whefher or not they should leave the ACC "current arrangment" due to this grevious offense of the ACC CFP rep actually pushing for ACC football teams to be included in the playoffs. These guys literally expected not only their personal CFP rep while every other team is relying on a general conference rep but they actually expected the conference they refuse to join foe football but use to house their other shitty teams they expected THAT rep to also lobby for them ignoring the teams that actual represent the conference in football. Absolutely unreal. This is how ND chooses to repay the conference that saved their season by letting them play a one off full conference schedule in COVID? I bet the ACC deeply regrets not using their leverage in that moment to tell them they're in or out. No more half stepping. Want a season? You're in. Demand on remaining independent? Fine. You don't have a football season and the rest of your teams can go find a new home. The ACC needs to get ahead of this and throw them out. Problem solved.
