I thought he was a great hire. I did figure out he was a fail when he ruined the D in first year, players rebelled, and Rex botched close losses with painfully stupid not throwing red flags challenges, but held on hope he could get it done year 2. I can't help thinking if it would have been different if Shaq and Ragland had not been injured. For all his faults It would have been a fun ride if Rex would have been the answer and won a Super Bowl with Bills. Bills on media hot takes/quotes all day.

Anyone can get hurt on the job at any time. Just like workman's compensation works, players should be paid less when injured and unable to work. Typical pay is 80% of take home pay. Sounds reasonable. They are also eligible for long term disability via Social Security just like all Americans who work enough to qualify. IE: work and earn money in 5 preceding years before disability and you qualify.

?? This keeps coming up over and over again. No one cares or worries about billionaires money. This salary paying debate, which is actually a cap spending debate, is about how your team you follow, spends the cap to the best of their ability to provide a winning team. This is not about an EX like this: people concerned how much teachers and administrators are paid in salary benefits etc etc...….. because they pay directly for it in the way of property tax assessments and have no choice in the matter. And don't really agree a 9 month job should pay 60 to 100+ k per year for teachers and 150+ k for administrators. NFL is mostly(but not all as tax dollars are sometimes spent for stadium) optional for you to spend money on the team in way of tickets merchandise and supporting their tv program etc etc......

Agreed. It is as strange as that workhorse productive pre season RB who gets cut from several teams every year.

Yeah I think I do actually. Bush is in the drivers seat here. Rams can bluff all they want. Until judge agrees to retrial/appeal Bush should sit tight. Only then should Bush team take into account the cost for counsel if Bush must go through another trial and maybe settle for less then. Bush has millions in the bank and he is very young. Time is no factor, he has all the time in the world.

yes.

I agree they should have picked up the option. It would have made Watkins more valuable in a trade. Salary of about 13 mill. Just FYI: deadline for picking up Sammie Watkins 5th yr option was May 3 and Beane was hired May 9. So that was all McDermott.

There is no "just settle" Rams lost the suit and owe Bush $12.5 million pending an appeal. Bush does not need to settle for less from the insurance co.. Ins co. or Rams are on the hook unless they can get a judge to lower the payout or grant a retrial. It would be very hard for Rams to get a retrial. Rams lost and will just need to pay up.

pretenders since 1999.

When coaches and players say "QB room" they usually mean how they get along, coachable, all QB's get along well, productive interactions between all, egos left at the door, etc etc...…. not about talent.

He did seem to run backwards every time he touched the ball. Maybe the fall in St Louis also damaged his balance and inner ear parts.

I mean really, the butt was just standing there minding its own business when WAM he got a dirty Sanchez rammed up his ass. The butt will sue and get damages from the dirty Sanchez. You got this ass backwards. Literally.

A lot. read on please. QB drops back 10 yards and sometimes more. WR catches a pass 20 yards from line of scrimmage that is 30 right there for CB. Safety's are further away closing in to help. Toss in the width of the field of 53 yards and those a cross the field throws and not unusual for db's and safety's to be 30 or 40 yards away. I mean a DB lining up at sideline is 25 yards+ away from QB before the snap.

"Welcome back Kotter" reference...….oh my.....

hemorrhoids ?

He is not doing that on purpose...….lol Flacco sucks balls.

reading eyes?? really is bull ****. No one can see a QB's eyes from 30 or 40 yards away. They may see the helmet turn in a direction but not eyes. Is a DB trying to say they can cover their guy and at same time also have eagle eye vision that can zoom in and see little eyeballs moving one side to the other??

Because the Steelers are a bunch of !@#$ heads.

we all know how that works. Ask Brady and Gronk in Cheatersville.

If this is true...that guy puts the ass and hole in !@#$. Loser. A product of the social media all about me generation. A pox on sports humanity and sports reporting to the highest order. A guy that should be outed and then beat down in the back alley every time he tries to step foot into a bar to have a beer. I rank him even below people calling in swatting pranks or bomb scares. !@#$ him and all who aspire to copycat him now.

I remember that. lol You took an unmerciful beating from some who did not believe you. It is all funny now though...… ?

I have done it by just highliting the web address of the vid and pasting it into the message box and post it. Youtube then automatically brings up a box with start of vid for people to click on. It does not always work.

Me.

agreed. The system to pay players 100% on performance ship has sailed. Founding fathers of NFL would have had to implement a system like that when they had all the power when league started. NFLPA union is too smart to give into this now. Even though NFL pays players on performance slightly with a payment made at end of year based on playing time and performance that NFL owners slipped in last time they "won" the CBA. I guess that could evolve over the years and make the paid for performance slowly come to be. This money counts towards salary cap and I suspect is something owners put in to guarantee they spend the proper amount of cap every year to avoid NFL players union litigation. The best system of course would be very simple. Rank all players on last year performance and playing time and pay them on a sliding scale.(age would be no factor) Spending all salary cap allowed. Rookies and first year players all play on min contracts(ideal) or draft slot pay(less ideal). If injury was a big factor previous year then pay the guy 80% of his take home for the next year just like workman's comp.

Never thought of it that way before. Thanks for the uber thinking. LOL It is kind of like a age progressed or chronological series of photos of meth addicts on each arrest looking weirder and more disfiguring. Start with Bills logo and end with Pats logo just before death.
