Does this loss effect Bens contract

I think it does

 

no way

 

Considering he had the best statistic year ever and we've got very young weapons at WR and RB, I don't think so. For once, the offense was considered the strong part of this team. The defense needs a lot of help everywhere.

 

I don't think so. It hurts losing like this but this team has a bright future.

 

Why would it. Just because of the lose tonight. The whole team did not play well. The defense was lousy.

 

I think it's part of the negotiations, but he doesn't see the door because of it. I have always been a let Ben walk guy and rebuild, but after watching the QB play in the Car/AZ game, I say forget it. Sign him, be competitive for a few years the deal with the next decade of decline later.

 

No, get ready for the big one. This should be interesting. Hopefully we will have enough left (cap space)to improve our team.

 

But! I don't think they have a replacement for ANY of our starters!

 

No

 

No

 

Kent Graham, Bubby Brister, Cliff Stoudt, Jim Miller, Tee Martin, Charlie Batch, Dennis Dixon, Byron Leftwich, Mike Tomzack, David Woodley, Anthony Wright.


Enough said!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh I forgot, Mike Quinn, Brian St. Pierre, Kordell Stewart (wasn't too bad) Neil O'Donnell (got us to a super bowl), Mark Malone,

 

Agree. Ben is a top flite, franchise quarterback who needs to be extended. But Omar the Wiz needs to figure out how to do it in a cap friendly way. His signing can't decimate the rest of our team.

 

He didn't have Bell, that'll save him a few 100 million

 

Consider our FA signings vs Baltimore's:
WR: DHB vs Steve Smith.
DL: Cam Thomas vs Chris Canty.
LB: Arthur Moats vs Elvis Dummerville.
S: Mitchell vs W. Hill.
TE: Nobody vs Owen Daniels.
And Ozzie did this after signing Flacco to a big contract. What will our depth chart look like after Ben's contract is done?

 

I say extend him and he's more than earned that this season (overall). That said, we have got to start figuring out what the next QB of this team is going to look like. We don't have a viable option right now, haven't in years behind Ben. I'd like to keep Ben as long as he's productive, but I am more and more frustrated by our lack of looking to the future once he's gone.

 

Depressing...our dead money contracts prevent us from such signings

 

With the exception of Larry Brown, one game does not affect a contract.

 

they found money for c.allen and mitchell and they will result in another dead money when we will release them

 

Ben's the best QB in the league between the 20's. How many games this year started out with nice drives that ended in field goals to keep the other team in the game? They'll resign him because it's hard to find a good QB let alone a great one.
