Silly. I know pass rushing is highly valued but dude it’s only 10-15 plays per season. I know hurries, qb hits, etc. count but sacks are the money number. I said at the time we refused the draft picks for him that we would regret it not because he wasn’t worthy of a huge extension, but because when we let the league know what we turned down for him his agent faxed us a blank check and said don’t stop until you run out of space to write. They married him in Vegas that day.

Stopped reading after the bolded. 

You obviously don't get it. Argue until you are Blue in the face.

It’s important to remember that NFL players are taxed based on where (what’re state they are physically in) they play on Sunday. So while it can still be a significant amount of money, it’s less than what most think. If that were a significant factor in negotiations, I think it would be brought up more. But it’s also the individual player and what they value most.

Heartbroken, truly. But that number is shorthand for your effectiveness as an edge. I don’t make the rules. Burns is also good in run situations but he’s not Luke or something. Regardless, the meat of the post was after that glib comment so whatever floats your boat.

I gave it a look over. 

The reality is when pass rushers get paid, their not paid on overall balance, but their presence on the field.  Burns has a heavy presence on the field that every offensive coordinator has to game plan for him. 

I agree, his run support isn't what you want out of an elite defensive end, but that won't stop him from getting paid. That just how the NFL works.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
