Anyone else feeling hopeless right now?

I'm here in the Bay Area and the local sports talk radio is lit up with all the excitement over hiring Harbaugh. They're talking playoffs next year, next Bill Walsh blah blah. Sure it's kind of crazy but they have one thing that we don't - hope (at least for me).

We're the NY Jets when Manning went back to school. Indy went on win a SB and Jets were bad for years...

We've got no head coach and one of the worst QBs in Pickles I've ever seen. There isn't one person in the industry that gives Pickles a chance and I agree.

On top of that we have the leagues toughest schedule in a division where everyone has their franchise QB. We'll be at the bottom for years.

Luck was the one ray of hope - a franchise QB that puts us above everyone else in the NFC South and like that - gone. We'll never know if he was our saviour but at least he would have giving us the same excitement SF has right now.

Only hope is either a. lockout or b. we're so bad next year we get Luck anyways. Why would a potential HC come here anyway knowing we'll most likely lose all of our games?

Oh well. For the first time in years I will not be getting NFL package to watch my beloved Panthers here in Bay Area. Why would I?

We'll get a new HC along with an entire new coaching staff.

Pickles will get better or we'll bring in a true franchise QB in '12.

We have probably the most cap space out of anyone and should be a major player in FA.

We should get a total stud #1 overall.

I'm pretty excited to see how everything plays out TBH.

      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.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      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.
