wrong.

I've said every since we signed Matt Kalil that signing players to become something they haven't shown to be in recent years is a proposition that usually doesn't work out.

Said the same with Teddy, Said the same with Sam.

None of this is surprising, nor not supported by history.

 

 

 

that wasn't directed at you as much as it was the board.

that said i don't entirely agree with that take, i do think there's some players you can expect to work out. And I can absolutely understand kicking the tires on Sam. He's 24 and we wanted to try something.

I don't think these results entirely were expected, this is the most cynical posters wet dream.

Why would we draft a qb when our o-line would get him “Carred”? The f’ing focus in this off-season has to be fixing our atrocious o-line and finding a real OC after Brady bolts for LSU.

And y’all can forget about Rhule being fired or leaving for a college gig, it ain’t happening.

The fix was keep Teddy and draft Fields. Now that this did not happen the new fix is tank for a real QB. Unfortunately this draft really looks like it only has one or two that would be ready anytime soon. 

Yep....Hindsight 20/20 we should of just kept Teddy. Everyone knew he was a stop gap, but we worsened a problem by trading assets for Darnold and picking up his option thinking he was the answer.

 

Should of treated Teddy like the stop gap he was and drafted/developed a young guy.

This narrative that Teddy was a stop gap was wrong from he start.  Somebody in the organization thought they could win with him, same with Sam

Simply put, somebody thought they could win sooner than later by "fixing" two established vets.

I don’t think we want the current regime to pick the next QB. They choose TB and Sam to be the starters with no competition, and PJ to be the backup. At the very least, they should have kept TB and had Sam compete for the starting position this year. I don’t think this is hindsight…/I think most most questioned these moves prior to the season

Because they will need something to sell to the fans to get them to come to games for one. Two, the there will be pressure to get it right this time.

I agree that Rhule won't get fired. Brady will probably be sacrificed, if he doesn't leave on his own to buy Rhule more time. Rhule can also point to injuries to his key free agent linemen he signed as a reason the offense sucked and Darnold as well.

The off-season veteran QB we were all hoping we’d get isn’t coming. Not with this staff. Tepper has a mess on his hands. He is either going to have to continue to wait it out and hope his instinct with Rhule and Fitterer is correct.
 

Or he’s going to have to fire Rhule and get Fitterer to bring in a vet coach that a vet QB will want to play for (aka Arians and Tampa). There isn’t an in between imo. I don’t see a vet QB signing with or OKing a trade to this squad right now. 
 

Im actually at the point where I think bringing Cam in is the right move to try and salvage Rhule’s credibility and trend the trajectory back upward. Can’t believe I am saying that. The other option could be Rivers but Idt he’d want to come back to play for CAR. A call needs to be made tho or the season is over.

He is one of the two I was referring to as somebody I would be cool with drafting. 

I'm warming up to Pickett. But as a whole meh class. Idk if either are as good a prospect as fields, and I'm not sold on fields. Pickett might be a solid game manager or a slinger idk yet.

Thoughts on Pickett?

      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.
