Bobcats in the mix for Blake (1st potential move)

I don't know about that.

I do. Steve Blake has never had a PER of at least 15, the watermark for a decent player, in his entire career. Since just one stat doesn't tell the entire story, let's look at a pair of lines, each at per 36min.

Player 1: 9.8pts 6.3ast 2.1to

Player 2: 12.4pts 4.7ast 1.8to

Player 1 has more assists, but Player 2 scores more and turns the ball over less. Player 1's best years are on par with Raymond Felton's, the PG we're all so ready to run out of town, worst years. Player 1 has been in the NBA seven years and shows no signs of improving. While Player 2 had a sophmore slump, his year was still on par with what Player 1 has consistently done. Player 1 is Steve Blake, Player 2 is DJ Augustin. Blake would be a decent back-up to Augustin if we have to settle for that, but we need to set our sights higher.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
