You don’t pay 30 million a year to the dude who wants to be paid on previous years production, who then mails it in when he doesn’t get what he wants.

You pay 30 million a year for a game wrecker; the dude who shows up when the moment demands it. You pay 30 million a year to the guy who break NFL records.

To be people still sniffing Burns’ jock (Sheena included)…I don’t know what y'all have been watching for 4 years, but Burns was never that. And never will be.

I like Burns, think he has the skills to be elite, but it was time to go. He wanted out and we used the money wisely. Mile Sanders may still have something, he was a very good back for the Eagles and unless he fell off the face of the earth, hopefully being healthy and having a competent coaching staff will up his production and him and Hubbard can man the RB spots without spending draft capital.

Morgan said he wants "dawgs" on this team. Burns was a "dawg", but not in a good way. Good riddance. If he didn't want to give 100% on the field, then be gone.

Again. There is no way to be a bad "dawg." Using "dawg" negatively has gotta stop. If you must call him something, call him a dog, but not a "dawg."uga-biting-auburn-player-icegif.gif.f54a430c73be25954f06261a517f3251.gif

Honestly this is the easy part overall. Changing our trajectory with our ability to identify and draft good to very good talent is all I'm looking for right now. Given our new salary cap outlook it's even more crucial now. No pressure Dan.

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      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.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
