That Cardinal has to be in dead last. I’ve watch a cardinal about defeat itself against a car window….

The concert for the Carolinas was pretty amazing.

Also Bryce needs to do better at run blocking . How did he even get a rating?

Our two big OGs making life easier on the center. He has a big task Sunday against Lawrence…

And where did anyone say they were? I’m saying that’s where the comp comes from. I agree they are different. No two QBs are the same even that Nebraska QB is different than Mahomes no matter how hard he tries…

It's his drop back/playing style from the pocket. He and Lamar look so casual back there and both can launch the ball with a flick of the wrist. However, Ward doesn't have Lamar's running ability at all. He can run, but not like Lamar and he can't make defenders miss like that, especially in the next level.

Cam is my favorite prospect but he isn't nearly as elusive as Lamar. Putting that bar over his head isn't really fair. I think they are similar in pocket navigation and how they throw the ball. They both kind of slow it down and looked relaxed back there with plenty of arm power to get off balance throws where they need to go.

Miles was originally going to be our feature back. Chuba outplayed him and earned the right to start over him. Now Chuba is a top 10 RB and he got an extension with a guarantee of 15 million dollars. Chuba is a good leader on this team to help establish a new culture of hard work and earning your roster spot. He is also a very good player on a roster without many good players. So we signed him to a 4 year deal that clearly has an easy out in there judging by the guaranteed money. Rewarding hard work and retaining a player like Chuba is a good thing.

One team used a 1st on a RB then extended a vet to a decent contact. We used a mid 2nd on a RB then extended our vet to a decent contract. The Lions are actually allocating MORE to their RB room in this scenario. The fact that you are comparing a $15 million guaranteed contract to the Cousins contract and a mid 2nd to a top 10 pick is just absurd... I'm not entertaining that.

You keep rounding up to $10 in order to exaggerate your point which usually means your point is very strong. Bijan is making 5.5 millions a year to Chuba's 8.5 and they used an absolute premium pick on him in a top 10 pick. That pick vs were we picked Chuba or even Brooks are two very different draft prospects. Chuba has the attitude and skillset we want to build a better team and culture. He has shown he can be a top RB and we are paying him a moderate salary. You also need to look at the contract again. Only $15 million is guaranteed. It could look very similar to that Henry 2 year $16 million dollar one you are suggesting we do instead. Always look at the guaranteed vs the total money. If Chuba gets the total money he is cooking and we are happy. You want us to use assets elsewhere because we have so many holes but you also want us to draft another WR in the first, probably top 5 this year will all of the other holes we have on the roster. To me those two opinions don't line up. Back to back 1st round picks on WRs when we have so many holes. I think we are just keeping good young players that want to be here and Chuba fits the mold. TMac could also fit that mold.

We can plug any RB behind our OL though right? It's odd to see you post that but then mention how Miles Sanders is no good. Which OL is Miles running behind again? Is it a different one than Chuba?

He is getting 8 million a year with only 15 guaranteed. The Lions just drafted a RB in round 1 and then signed Montgomery and then threw more money at him. There won't be many of these 3 down workhorses you are talking about, it will be a committees. Our OC even said he had plays drawn up with both RBs in the backfield. The starting DE you are getting for $8 probably shouldn't be a starting DE. I'm not against paying a proven RB who is a locker room leader $8 million a year with our other RB being on a mid 2nd round contract. That's pretty normal and nothing over the top for cap allocation. You are still thinking old school. The Falcons spent a high first on Robinson and he still splits with Allegier, The Lions spent a 1st on Gibbs and he splits with Montgomery not to mention injuries over a 17 game season.

Reasonable takes are a breath of fresh air.

RB committees are how the league works now. It's part of the reason they have been undervalued. We are freaking out over a 8 million dollar a year contract. 7 years ago Stewart signed a 1 year $8 million dollar contract with us.
