The problem is the the players we think are good are not good. 

The problem is our FO has been awful at player evaluations. Hard to blame Sanders’ agent or Elflein/Erving’s agents or any of the otherfrom signing the contracts before the ink dried.

I will never blame anyone for taking a job where they are overpaid.  I would do the exact same thing.

Pretty big dead cap hit...

Doesn’t matter. The $3M roster bonus was new money owed that would have been added on to his dead cap. If we kept him this year his cap hit would have been 1M more than his dead cap plus there’d be 2M more in dead cap in 2025. Again, you save $3M. It was a bad deal in that they guaranteed his 2024 salary of $6M but that’s par for the course. We sign bad deals and don’t get the performance and then we pay basically $13M for one year.

Definitely not. We were the problem. It’s not the player’s fault. I know Gettleman had his faults but this was one thing he was good at. The money Hurney and Fitterer threw around for mediocre players is unreal and they’ve only produced 2-7 wins for 6 seasons.

This is a rebuild year and they are treating it as such.

The moves that have been made clear cap for the 2025 season, not 2024.

I dont see us entertaining any FA's other than the cheap ones.

We can clean the books up nicely if thats the plan and as long as there is not too many extensions given out.   I say fug it and front load a deal for brown for 2024

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
