I don't really give a crap about the cap.  Looking at teams that win consistently, I am not even sure if it matters.  But in the end, if we win, they can get close to the red line every year.  And if we lose, don't care how far under it we are.  

That's the point you should give a crap about the cap because if mismanaged it leads to things like today

Absolutely remarkable how little talent this team has to have a salary cap this fuged 

In my opinion, we upgraded our talent on the offensive side at least.  Both the Oline and the WR group should be better than they were last year.  Whether this translates into more wins is anyone's guess, but they certainly made some efforts.

Agree. I don't know how anyone can look at this roster and think it's worse than last season-at least on paper.

The cap situation has been brewing for awhile now. Things weren't going to change overnight. But at the same time for the sake of your own sanity it was always best to approach this situation with the mindset that fair or not the onus is on Dan Morgan to prove he is markedly different from Scott Fitterer. And before anyone chimes in on some he inherited this talk. Well. He participated in everything that transpired. Heavily. We're just going to have to wait and see if the wins come along. They better.

He bit the bullet on a couple of guys that took a chunk. Hurst, somebody else. Morgan's first year, he wanted them gone apparently. Okay.

 And this sort of stuff isn't really that damning, I don't think. They'll fix it without too much harm done. Maybe none.

I don't see how anyone can say its not better than last year, at least on the offensive side.  I mean we don't have a lot of big name players, but improvement on the oline usually doesn't come with big name players.

Diontae Johnson is actually pretty good. He's respected around the league as a high level route runner. Overall looks like an average receiving corps now, with an average to above average oline.

Just my opinion... I think the defensive line is greatly improved. Burns is a feast or famine splash player. All or nothing. Mostly nothing. If nothing else, Clowney is a huge upgrade against the run. A'Shawn is another big upgrade. He and Brown should be a problem for teams to run inside against. Any combination of Josey, Shaq or Wallace appear to be at least as good as Luvu and whoever else they marched out there next to him. The secondary is at worst a wash. Could be a lot better if Horn stays healthy and the new Jackson is probably an upgrade. All is on paper though. Now up to coaches to put it together on GameDay.

It takes real effort to have the worst cap situation in the league and still have one of the worst overall rosters in the league, all this accomplished with a QB on a rookie contract. That's truly special stuff right there. LOL

SMH...LOL. Truly a cluster fug at almost every facet of this org.

I certainly think you could be right.  And the receiving corps could actually be above average if Mingo or Leggette become significant contributors.  Of course, the key to all this is Young.  But we will see.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.

      Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
