Just like Tom Brady , people act like watching highlight tapes they know what’s going on vs me that watched hours of film study on Mac jones 

I don't think you're capable of getting this, or too committed to the troll, but the idea of comparing Mac Jones to Tom Brady is insane at best, and downright idiotic if nothing else. 

Tom Brady was a literal needle in a haystack find, who turned into the GOAT. Literally, no other example even makes sense.  Compare a young college basketball player to Michael Jordan?  Idiotic.  But even with that, Jordan was at least a top prospect. Comparing ANYONE to Brady, where he was drafted, his scouting report, etc. is just stupid.  If anything, you comparing Mac Jones to Brady the prospect means he should be a...6th rounder?  Shows he doesn't have the tools to be considered a top draft pick?  Again, the endgame here is either you can't count to potato, or you're trolling.

If we see a top QB at #8 we will take it . If there is no top QB at # 8 we trade down a few spots for more picks and still get Mac Jones a little later .  Not playing Jones in the senior bowl maybe because he was dinged up gives us an edge because Rhule watched him in practice and met him up close . If we pick him it will be because Rhule believes in him .

Ooooooor...... Maybe Carolina purposely held him out because of that reason alone... They want him... 

 

 

Please don't take me serious

Rhule and company had a week to get to know whatever they wanted to about Jones. They publicly raved about him, though that doesn't necessarily mean they'd draft him at number eight.

The feeling it gives me though is that if they do (or don't) I'm probably gonna trust that decision.

I'm beginning to think that if Rhule raves about a player it means absolutely nothing in getting a sense of his direction.  It's a good strategy to be honest because it throws off the competition to your thinking.

Yeah every time he has something good about someone they were cut lol, so that’s good news for Jones.

Just throwing it out there.  You have to take that praise with a grain of salt.  It's good for the players egos but it means nothing about what he really has planned.

So because someone disagrees with your assessment they're trolling?

I absolutely get Tom Brady vibes from Jones. He'll never reach those levels, but there are comparisons to be made. 

The most amusing thing is people overlooking his ridiculous stats / success because it doesn't fit into their narrative. If he was an uber athlete with a huge arm they'd be falling over themselves to crown him.

I'm aware that a lot of the NFL Draft is about projection. But that's also how you pick guys like Bortles, Ponder et al and overlook Wilson, Brees, Brady etc. 

When it all plays out I wouldn't be surprised if he goes in the first round.

It’s a bunch of things he’s said together. Like calling Watson average and telling us Jones will be better for sure. .

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
