All he had to do was half the combine stuff to make his hype disappear so yeah he played his part and made it way worse for himself.

Too much blame for the Teppers, FO and coaching staff to really matter.

I can't blame a guy for not showing up to tank his stock. Honestly, I don't think it would've mattered anyway. Tepper was smitten.

It's honestly not. He can't help that he's 5'10" 180 with a noodle arm. There's only so much you can make up for. This gaffe is on the talent evaluators.

This isn’t Scott Fitterers fault.  He isn’t capable of evaluating talent and he was just put in this position by David Tepper.  Lol

He put on weight to try and fool teams, then refused to compete at the combine. He's not completely responsible, but he definitely has a hand in what we're seeing now. 

Agreed. The combine thing still urks me and the way the season has played out just makes it look worse.

Here’s the thing about that test. I don’t necessarily think the S2 test is worthless. Might be, but maybe not. 

 

The thing is…”processing speed” only matters if you are athletic enough to play in the NFL. 
 

Young isn’t half the athlete Corral is. Their arms aren’t even comparable.

 

And Corral isn’t even in the league anymore. Not even sure he’s alive tbh.

I mean, honestly you're not wrong even if you're trying to be a smartass. Everything football related has tanked since Tepper came aboard. He's the root of the problem.

Don't ever pick a QB #1 with obvious physical limitations and who ducks the combine.

Stupid move

I can. It was a good move to get that #1 money but he may have screwed himself in the ling run. Can you imagine if he went in the 2nd and didn't have that trade hanging over his name forever?

      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.
