2020 Our Year For Sure

I'm alright with the re-structure, my breh! I still lean toward preferring a better pocket passer but now its perfectly reasonable, I can live with it. His cap hits are lower, maybe more importantly his guarantees are lower so we can get out if we need to, we're not locked into that one-dimensional offense for 3 or 4 years. I'm fine with him as a 1-2 year bridge guy at 10M year one (think its an 8M dead hit to cut him after year 1), not my preference but perfectly reasonable. I'm interested to see what kind of funky offense we come up with with these TEs and fullbacks. We may never throw a pass all year You feeling good bud?

what a great quote I know we've heard it all before and lost anyway blah blah blah but what a great quote man

I promise you if you stick to football and don't troll, you have half-decent logic to back up your stance, nobody is going to punish you for posting your takes, different as they may be. People who only like to hear things they consider to be encouraging will freak out, but my advice is try not to engage in the personal crap, just stick to football and you'll be fine no matter what. I believe its called taking the high road.

I'm not making the guy a scapegoat or blaming him for anything other than his own performance. Where in my postings are you getting that from? Joakim Noah is broken down now, probably not a coincidence, its a good point. But as a fan of the team I'm all over those guys who (foolishly?) give their team everything they've got.

At least Crusher is talking about football, you're just talking about personal crap nobody cares about.

its pretty obvious he could have been a better tackler if he wanted to be. He made "business decisions" like Derrick Rose. If he had more Joakim Noah in him he may not have had such a patchy inconsistent career here. BB probably figures that he'll now be more competitive being in their program rather than our Mickey Mouse operation.

I like players who are on a mission to win and go all out.

I feel the same way.

seems more competitive/tough than Gilmore

Now we're getting creative. I hope I might consider this your application for Offensive Quality Control, we need your sort of innovation to win without passing, young man.

Hearing you talk this way is a huge red flag. Danger, Will Robinson!

not a trump guy but with you on this. JRober is an example of a boat person who's already given us some valuable, well thought out points.

the original deal was brutal for such a limited passer and an obvious cut in my opinion, but the restructure seems reasonable even to me. He took a big paycut because everyone knows he's not worth the big bucks.

They'll never expect it.

Yes and sometimes the third TE will leave the field in favor of a second fullback.

Commonsense has had a very powerful PREMONITION

Yeahhhh a likely story!

^ if this is true then I am a happy camper!

part of it is also that Tyrod doesn't throw the ball on a lot of called passing plays. He would regularly ignore open receivers to run out of bounds. Didn't he have the longest hold-the-ball time of any QB? Its because he struggles to see the field, read the defense and process quickly, he likes to pat it and then run around. Points are nice but wins are the goal. Yes, the defense sucked. So did the Bills passing game, even though teams were selling out to stop the run and WRs were open.

I would've been in on Romo or Alex Smith, if it's not happening then a bridge like Foles or Hoyer and a 1st round pick. Foles' best season is better than Tyrod's best seaaon, I look at them each as system QBs on a comparable level. Kaepernick another option on that same level, Kaepernick's first 2 seasons playing were also under Roman and despite less experience than Tyrod, he outplayed him in both stats and wins/losses. We can talk about the supporting cast but in my opinion Tyrod is comparable to these shlubs and not worth committing to for 3-4 years.

I don't like it, I don't think he's far enough above replacement level to commit for 3 years. You're basically guaranteed to have one if the least lucrative passing games in the entire league, and while its possible to win like that its difficult and unlikely. I would not go actively signing up for such a limited offense over multiple years.

Ya that does kind of seem like an issue. Maybe the Pegulas can convince the league to take out the forward pass? Our offense would be beast then.

Thanks for clearing that up dude.

Did we go from cutting after 2 years = over 40M in cap, to something like 25M? How was it reduced so drastically? Did he take less in guarantees after saying he wouldn't do that? I am a contract/salary cap illiterate.
