For Jimmy Clausen to do good his rookie season...

We need to give him weapons, right now the only reliable weapons he has in the passing game are Smith, Goodson, and Rosario you cant expect a rookie to come in and do great when receivers are running the wrong route and not getting separation off the line. That is why getting Vincent Jackson is not a bad idea for us. A third round pick is well worth this guy.

You cant say that getting VJ is a bad idea

it still would have been nice to have another vet WR in there who knew what he was doing. the lack of decent targets is going to hold anyone back, but a good QB can make bad WRs look mediocre and mediocre ones look good.

at this point i'd be happy with a mediocre WR across from smith, esp. if clausen can use his TEs and RBs effectively.

It all comes down to the O-Line.

O-Line playing like they are men equals D Will and J Stew being able to do their thing.

O-Line playing like they are men equals giving your rookie time to throw the ball and Steve time to find an opening.

Nothing else matters if they don't pick it up, and pick it up fast. They have been the biggest disappointment in the first two games.

You hit the nail on the head!If you have no o-line,you need a dog killer,look at Philly!

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
