FWP was also a UDFA who was very productive for us. Better than Warren IMO.
It's not a terrible idea when you don't have a QB. It's why we did this in the last (failed) offensive rebuild. Although we tried to keep the old...
I'm always very thankful for people on message boards that do these kind of deep dives on the draft. I'll avidly read all the info that people...
I think it's probably mostly the last bullet here. I'd prefer if he had a PC. I'm a little disappointing that he didn't do an end of year...
I do think it will be interesting to see what happens going forward. If other teams start paying RBs, I hope we don't follow suit. I'd rather...
People "did the math" and most teams realize the explosive plays are really important in the NFL (almost as important as turnovers!). So teams...
I think you'd like the podcast episode if you have time to listen to it (about 1 hour at normal speed, or faster if you increase). They are...
I didn't look, but I think as a %age of the cap RBs went up last year. But still far below where they were in the "glory days" of RBs.
Still paid low relative to other positions. It's Philly, so they went full void years...but his cap hit this year was $6MM, next year $10MM. I...
I really like looking at the results of the draft. But I don't get people that like watching the draft (or even worse, the combine).
Didn't want to necro the old Najee / Warren post for this. But the Freakonomics podcast just released an update of their podcast "Why Don't RBs...
That's cool! I'm new here this season too (from Planet Steelers...which has essentially shut down). I'm looking forward to reading your ratings...
Yep. An owner who prioritizes being competitve in the short term above all else so the team doesn't take the risks that are likely required to...
Yep. He certainly failed at (1) getting good OCs to install an offensive system that worked with the players we had and / or (2) acquiring above...
re: It will be even more interesting to see how long fans will still defend Tomlin if the team can win a lot of games and have great success with...
It's probably not the best option for "up and coming" OCs. Going to a team that doesn't have good offensive pieces to be the OC under an...
It will be interesting to see how they spend the money. In the Terrible Podcast livestream yesterday, they listed the current UFA WRs. Not a...
I think this is a "why not both" type situation (your first option). Try to sign a real WR2 type guy (not the old WR3/4 guys we've been signing)....
DK being overpaid (because of league cash spending rules + poor drafting on our part) isn't the same thing as "Seahawks going to the SB because...
The DK part of this isn't the reason. Darnold was good for them. And JSN is amazing. If we hadn't been so bad at drafting WRs since Ben got...
