My theory on why Pierre is starting

Numerous more years? Not really :confused:

He's played in two NFL games his entire career, and didn't start either one. Outside of that, all he's done is bounce on and off of practice squads.

As far as stats, Tony Pike has more career completions (6) than St Pierre has attempts (5).

You don't consider seven more years of the NFL as numerous? Yes it hasnt been starting, but regradless I would have to belive he knows and is more prepared at this moment then Pike would.

It isn't just not starting. He hasn't even been on a 53 man roster for a significant part of that. The only game time he's seen has been garbage time.

His experience essentially amounts to eight years of practice, and less than a week of that being with us.

The third possibility is he is trying to do the best he knows how with the crap hand he was dealt. He didn't make the decisions and had to choose between a crappy rookie who has had no reps and a crappy veteran who has at least played 5 preseasons so while he has only thrown 5 passes in the regular season, he has infinitely more experience than Pike or edwards who have little to none.

Not trying to excuse him but seriously I guarantee if he had his way, we would have tons more veterans on this team and we wouldn't be this crappy.

We also wouldn't be nearly as well set-up for the future as we are now.

My two possibilities essentially are that it's bad blood or bad judgment. Which is worse? Debatable.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
