In a contract year after they didn't pick up his 5th option? I wouldn't bet on that next contract until he adds one more year of more than meh. Huge red flag of could have but didn't until the pay is a thing again. 

Yeah, a guy suddenly balling out in a contract year only to revert back to his career norm after getting paid is a tale as old as sports contracts.

Not only is he balling out tonight, he has been balling this season. Oh well...

@Basbear, cheers for thinking outside of the box.

 

Thanks for the props, Ive been moving and never hated life more at the moment(selfish state of mind).

 

He is balling and been showing out since he first stepped on the field. Coker on the other hand got injuried again and amassed zeros in the stat department. 

I did that thread before Smitty when nuclear on Coker for being soft and poor pro. In that thread I asked those same questions and just like when I ask people to give Coker stats for the up coming season, no one would or wanted to answer. So along with being injury-prone, he's also does not know how to prepare his body and not able to connect with teammates. 

He's on Panthers and I still hope he's worthy of positive impact. But....... with the view Ive gotten- Daves play calling and BY........his value was at the highest when I made that thread and what I worried about already happened. 

I do not want to pay RBs, ILBs, or safety.....but I do think Lloyd is a excecption to the cap spending..... He would have made 10x that Coker had being rehabbing and fighting smitty's/my thread comments....

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
