He had a good game, but so did literally everyone. But his numbers should be above his ATL days, he's playing for Andy Reid. You know what happens to QBs that go there, they become monsters. He has a lot of turnovers this year coming off a year when he had something in the single digits I believe.

I had him in my top 6 last year, despite the fact that he is subhuman.

No, and he gets his fair bit of criticism.

He also isn't considered an elite QB, doesn't have the weapons Vick does, doesn't have the scheme Vick does, and doesn't have the running game Vick does.

It's a big reach when you have to compare someone making between 80-100mil to someone making 5 mil, right? That's how far you have to go to make it seem racial?

No one in the league is going to get as much hate from me that Vick and Clausen get, unless they go and Mike Vick something or someone. It's just the way it is. The hate for these men goes far beyond the football field. Moore has given me no reason to hate him, in fact, it's quite the opposite. ARod has done the same. Boller is a good guy off the field. And the list goes on. No matter how bad Boller is, he'll never get the same hate Clausen does. I might not want him on my team, but it'll be nothing like Clausen.

From most everyone else, yes....from you, no.

We don't talk about Moore anymore. He had a good game Sunday if you watched. Made a lot of plays with his feet and his arm. Box score might not show it, but it's true and most everyone agrees (except Raging Bull).

Moore got blame for missing wide open guys in the Jets game, but not this game.

If you want to talk about Moore we should go to the NFL forum.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

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

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
