There are also optics involved. If Beane caves at this point, he looks weak and I guarantee you its going to bite us in the butt later on in negotiations with other FA's. IMHO he can't budge, no matter what.

I don't want to just beat them, but give them a beat down and set the tone for the season

Why? Why did you have squash my dream? I thought I had found a brother in 40 passing TD arms...

I I feel I've seen this movie before...

From your Keyboard to God's inbox :-). I have been wanting a 40 passing TD season for awhile now.

Woah now pilgrim. ( thank you btw... I have never got to use a John Wayne quote on here 😁 ). Davis is not that bad. Myself and others feel, given the reps, he is a starting NFL back. If Cook should hold out, it opens a door to find out, and sometimes that doesn't bode well for the player who isn't playing. We see it in injuries mostly.

And a head to head tie breaker at seasons end that I would rather have favoring us.

Lol ok.

You mean when Allen broke his hand on the go ahead TD week 1 against the Cardinals?

The guy who it took 17 games to make 1000 yards and only scored 4 rushing TD's in his career before last year where they were trying to reduce damage to Allen with a broken hand?

But wait, didn't James Connor make the probowl rushing in 2018? And didn't they decide in the offseason yo move to a more passing offense resulting in Roethlisberger throwing for over 5100 yards? Just want to get all the facts.

I would take the Shady McCoy we had over Cook right now. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McCoLe01.htm

100% behind not playing and letting the team down when we are trying to win a superbowl. Sorry no.

That is a bad way to run a team. Beane made his offer and based on Beanes history it's a fair one. Cook doesnt want to accept it, he can go pound sand.

If he refuses to play regular season games he will be fined. They can technically sue for breach of contract, but they wont.

While I appreciate that, it was a couple years ago and we seem to be having issues.

Home.

He just can't stay healthy. Time to move on and let someone else have a shot. Its like you said, we need dependability and we can't get it from him.

Great take I don't get it. And we have replaced the S&T staff.

100%. I think the lighter OTA's cause an issue.

Please do not inject common sense / Stoicism into my rant. 🤣

I forgot that both brothers had the same agent. This is one of the issues right there. I hope Beane holds strong, we have to send a message to all future FA's that we are more than fair, but wont be bullied into breaking. Beane has crafted damn good deals for our guys he wanted to keep Being old school, IF he plays I give him 300+ touches at Running this year. That is the number the elite, workhorse backs hit.

Hitting just over 1000 yards in 17 games is honestly pathetic. Thank you.
