14 million in guaranteed money to two guys who have battled injuries and have been largely disappointments...

The more things change the more they seem to stay the same around here 

You have to replace the depth we lost, neither Miller, or Schofield had high merits and played well, as bad as people here mock the OL they finished middle of the pack last season even with all of the injuries. 

We don't have the cap to sign a top tier FA on the OL, the price is too high, so the thing both these guys add is the fact they can both plug and play anywhere on the OL. 

Elfein - G or C

Erving - T, G, and C

These are value signings, and allow us to BPA in the draft is needed in case an OL prospect we like is not there.

Elflein - backup center, will compete for either guard position, if doesn't win...decent backup for all 3 spots.

Erving - played center in college, could compete for either guard position, could compete for the T position opposite of Moton.  Decent backup for all 5 positions in the OL if loses out on any starting battles

Versatile signings.  Helps us in taking BPA in the draft.

Feels like this and the Elfin move are to basically build versatility into our offensive line. Elfin, while mediocre, can fill in at either guard spot or center. Erving can fill in any spot on the line. 

 

They may not be pro bowlers but it beats rolling with ufa every year at guard and hoping Paradis plays well.

Seriously.

These two are no better than Reed and Miller who we signed for a fraction of the cost.

Miller - $3,970,000 was what he earned in 2020 (Erving comp)

Schofiled - $1,500,000 ''  '' (Elfein comp)

These signing are on par when you look at guaranteed money / length. 2M guaranteed per for Elfien a former 3rd rounder, and 8M over TBD as the details are pending on Erving a former 1st round selection by CLE. 

Considering coach Rhule has OL coaching chops at the NFL level, I'm willing to see this play out.

Reed wasn't even an FA signing during the traditional period, so naturally he'd make less.

The contracts aren't necessarily bad but I don't see why you'd target depth offensive linemen on the first day of negotiations since you could end up getting them at a cheaper price if you just waited a little longer. They definitely seem to be going for versatility among the offensive line though, which is good to see.

It's only the beginning of rebuilding the line.  There will be draft picks and udfa thrown in the mix as well.  Patience Padawan.

Don’t want to miss out on lineman and then be stuck rolling with 3 undrafted rookie starters and 5 undrafted rookie backups.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
