I don’t understand what’s going on in this place. Sign an OG with zero all pros and people are calling him top 5 in the league. Have the chance to sign an All pro linebacker and saying he’s above average but not a top LB like wtf is going on here.

Stop conflating. Queen would be great for us, not downing the guy by any means.

Because another team valued him more. Talk about scheme all you want but I very seriously doubt Luvu left money on the table to sign with the Commanders. We valued offensive guards more. A LOT more.

It was a similar contract.  Luvu WANTED to play for the Commanders because he liked the scheme and wanted to play for Quinn.  FREE agents are FREE to sign with other teams, even for less or equal money if they want. 

He also allows 75% of passes to be completed thrown towards him ranking him 12th worst in the league.

So you wanted us to prioritize and overpay a linebacker to keep him?  Marty, is that you?

He just wants to be upset about something.  The man is mad we paid OGs.  After watching last year everyone should want this.  

I don't like that we have an arguably top 5 OG top 5 LT money. That's not what smart teams do.

I mean... it's not like a Panthers fan has far to look to find something to be upset about. We don't have to go nitpicking. LOL

The Eagles just paid their OG a similar contract.  Hunt is the one you are referring to because the other OG was a reasonable contract.  Hunt is just a back loaded 3 year deal being incredibly cheap this year.  We can walk away after year 3 with no money loss.  

We should keep trying different OGs like last year though because that worked out GREAT.

How’d that work out for us this past season?

Lol they were great at avoiding them for sure. If they can't draft OGs or DTs they shouldn't be drafting anything.

How did it work for their QB? Or 2nd round WRs? We can do this all day with a poorly run team.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
