Didn't seem to bother DJ Moore who had career highs last season.

DJ has a ton of experience masking bad QB play from his time with the Panthers.  He's always among the league leaders in YAC; last year was no exception.  I don't think it's fair to hold Mooney to the same standards, which is reflected in his contract compared to DJ's.

I'm wondering if this had something to do with the urgency to get something for Brian Burns:

 

If they end up releasing Bosa (that saves them $47 mil over 2 years, wow), that could be interesting. 

He's getting up there in age and coming off injuries, but could hit a second life at 28 for 4-5 more years...just needs to move past the injuries.  Not my top pick, but it'll be interesting to see what happens in LA today.

Those top 5--all QBs who are either past their primes or underperforming--makes me so Happy that we did not land Watson.

I would say Matt Stafford has very much played to his contract - dude is awesome, though definitely on the tail end of his career.

It's gonna be Mike Williams. He's a good WR2 when he's not banged up, but he's also coming off major injury and you can't pay that kind of cash to a guy that hasn't been able to take full speed contact yet. Add in Allen is Herbert's favorite target by a mile and it should make that choice even easier.

You nailed it.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
