Dan will probably regret that one in a year. He's still a good RT, but this was a Hurneyesque move of paying a guy for what he did three years ago.

Possibly. Waiting to see how it’s structured. At face value it seems a bit risky with $40M guaranteed. I think we are making room to bring someone else on

I don't know how anybody can be upset with this. He's been our most consistent OL starter for years. 

I'm all for paying the OL. I don't remember where I saw it, but Robert Hunt was talking about this is the first time he's ever had the full o-line come back from the prior year. This is huge for continuity. 

Because it's completely unnecessary and his past play is irrelevant.  He's been paid for that.

If we're as concerned about that knee as rumors made it out then I would've definitely wanted to see how it held up this year before giving him a bunch of new money.

I mean, there were retirement rumors this off-season due to that knee.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
