The riskiest decision we could make right now is giving another massive wad of guaranteed money to an over 30 OT who is battling chronic knee issues who is still under contract this year.

If loyalty is worried about Moton having a all pro season, then fleecing us for more then 40 million he may want to investigate this thing we have called "the franchise tag".   Its a new invention that I believe we have used before.....hmmm...I wonder on who

Odd take, "yeah it worked out fine for the guy we paid and the team we traded him to, us not so much, but you are dumb anyway"

 

Damn dude dont ever change

We've been talking about contract.  The contract wasn't stupid by any stretch.  His play on the field since he signed it is proof.  The trouble you're having is separating his contract and play on the field with the Panthers handling and trade of him afterwards.

I 100% think it was dumb to trade him.  I understand the thinking but I would still much rather have kept him.

I'm personally happy that we extended him.  

There has been no on field issues do to these knee issues that wouldn't have been even public knowledge.  

He's not being paid for what he's done in the past. He's been paid what he's worth to retain another 3 seasons. 

you are all over that cmac ext thread as well, fits you like a glove praising this and that one, I probably would lay low for bit

First of all, we have an offense. Any decent QB can thrive with our O-line, WRs and RBs. Secondly, you don't get better on offense by trading away one of the top five receivers in the league. Thirdly, their FO was crap. Lastly, we're not going about business in a way that's assuming Bryce Young isn't the answer. 

If any decent QB can thrive then why are the top 16 highest paid players and 17 of the top 20 all QBs?

Ask them if they're worth two 1sts when you might not have a QB. 

We do have a QB. Furthermore, Ray Lewis won with Trent Dilfer. Lawrence Taylor won with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler. Peppers almost won with Jake Delhomme. It doesn't take an elite QB to win a Super Bowl, it takes an elite team, or at least a good one catching lightning in a bottle.

Obviously, the QB is the highest paid position for a reason. Historically, pass rushers are the second highest paid players for a reason

Pro tip, if your examples are from 20 and 35 years ago its probably not the best example

Yeah, let's wait and pay the franchise tag next year of around 27 million and paint ourselves into a corner with no leverage if we wanted to extend him that 2nd year.  I like signing him now for 22 per year for 2 years.  That cheaper and smarter all the way around.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
