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.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
