Which is exactly why I think there’s collusion. 

Or it’s just basic economics.  Lamar set his price higher than anyone is willing to pay.

If I decide to sell my house and not hire a realtor.  Then set the price way above market value.  It’s not collusion when nobody buys it.

Quite simply, Watson is twice the pure passer Lamar is. 

This right here, Lamar the Passer isn’t that good. And I’ve never been that impressed with the few games I’ve seen from him.
 

I know Cams stats weren’t as good as Lamar’s, but Cam in his prime was a better overall player than Lamar has been imo. Cam got a lot of incompletions and drops because he threw a hard pass and didn’t have a receiver worth a damn outside of Olsen. Cam’s accuracy didn’t fall off a cliff till after the shoulder injury.

Some team who gets left without a QB in the draft will likely offer him a deal which will likely not be the Watson contract offer.

 

This is why im not ruling us out down the line. If Atlanta gets their QB that will put pressure on us to either trade up or go after Lamar after the draft.

 

 

Its going to be over by the middle of march

So next week?

I would think this is resolved one way or another within 7-10 days.  Strictly my opinion but its pretty much blown up all over the news, not just nfl but seems to be a national story about collusion and now race.  Which is nuts.   I just think the nfl and ravens are going to figure something out

Nothing like a good conspiracy to making a buck off of.

About the collusion argument.  It is difficult to prove, but it is also difficult to organize. 

If you were at the store and you saw a banana that was in its prime, save a few bruises, but nothing major.  You love bananas, and you are out of bananas.  There are green bananas behind this banana, and some old bananas marked half price.  You look around, and you see shopping carts with older bananas in them; you see shopping carts with green bananas in them.  However, there are carts without bananas being pushed by people who need a banana.  Why are they not getting the banana in its prime? 

If they don't buy the banana in its prime, it will drive the price down.  If they buy it, the price goes up, and everyone who was trying to drive the price down gets mad at the person who buys the banana in its prime. Since the banana is still on the shelf at full market price, it could be that the green bananas are better for the future and the older bananas are a better value.  Or it could be that the customers in the store colluded to drive the price of prime bananas down.

Seriously, I think they need a cap that breaks down limits to players, not just rosters. For example, a team can have the following: (This is just an example--no research--but it seems the increase in cap is going to the QB, and it is not being realized as much by the rest of the roster.) I am guessing the Player's union could get behind something like this that benefits a majority of the players.  Have not done the math--but a roster cap?

2 A players who each make 10% of the cap. (about $22.5m each)

6 B players who each make 5% of the cap. (about $11m each)

10 C players who each make 4% of the cap. (about $9m each)

12 D players who each make 3% of the cap. (about $6.8m)

25 E players and  who each make 1% of the cap on average. (range $1m to $2m each)

This increases the active roster to 55 players and allows for $$ for practice squads. Complex contracts would need a formula to pay bonuses, etc. but this would simplify contracts and get everyone on a more equal scale--so that teams cannot manipulate the salary cap.

 

I call it the NFL MHS is a jeanyus CAP.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now.

      The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By strato · Posted

      My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
