I have seen Hunt get abused a couple of plays. I was pretty surprised that a guy making 100 million was getting pushed around. I know he is a good player but Lewis is the value.

When is the last time we took guys who get this praise in week 6 year one?

A little hyperbolic yourself.

LOL Good one. Like with Wings, Paul McCartney’s band where they kept his wife’s vocals in her monitor only maybe Paul’s. Never to the FOH mix.

His head coach wanted nothing to do with him and lost his job over it. We are almost 2.5 seasons later still arguing about it.

That is sort of the whole thing for some people. Count me in.

It is a situation where they have two main guys that can execute. Interested to see how they use them.

Pretty good. It was a great game and they pulled out a win. A hot meal for a hungry stomach.

Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one. I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched. I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him. I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.

That is fair, but it makes me long for a statistic for everything that did happen before that, that set that whole last drive up to be the deciding score. And fwiw (and I am not looking it up), but how many times was there a chance or two to close the gap and set up a game winning drive, except that didn’t happen? Or stalling and falling short? You do have to keep it close for those scenarios.. but do they factor too? And how do you weight it? Anyway, on the Jake thing. Putting Bryce on a level with Jake is all kinds of messed up. Jake smoked it his first game for the team. All the way to the Super Bowl. Everybody loved him and for good reason. Total opposite of Bryce’s arc. Totally different situation. Jake was a low rent FA gamble that seriously paid off, and immediately. Again, polar opposite. Crazy overpay, and we still don’t know if he is going to pay off. Bryce needs to be evaluated without trying to compare eras. And the yardage… what does 200 yards a game x 16 come to? Add another 200 for game 17 for Jake or pull it off of Bryce. It isn’t that different if we play the style of game that we did in his successful game and a half here lately. Of course he gets to play and compile, and that is fluid atp so just saying.

I am in the middle of catching up and got this far. I can’t let it pass. So quickly…. 25yards is just not true. People question his arm strength, I do, but 25 yards? Come on man. That’s just bullshit.

Flip side is also true.

People write novellas trying to convince people of their biased opinions in favor of iil man but someone does a rebuttal and it is a bad fanning. Okay. I liken it to when a law firm goes up against a bigger law firm and the discovery documents and evidence shows up on a forklift at the little law office. Roomful of boxes floor to ceiling to go through. Classic movie scene. It is hoping the other side will just give up because it is too exhausting to fight it The thing is he for real was not impressive at all in some games that we won and some are included here. That NYG Europe game for instance. So tiresome. It mostly is just a bunch of lobbying. He is on the backstretch rounding the turn heading into the home stretch. The back 9 on the final day unless you think it should take more than three years to assess. I think we are going to see things that make all these 2000 word essays moot. Then we will see. It is in his hands not ours.

Just like WR, you thin it out and then suffer an injury and you are scrambling. Any RB could have run through some of those those holes though and maybe you don’t get the same xtra yards but you are getting yardage. It is the pass catching they will miss the most.

Without Sanders, they are stil catching balls. Sanders is about a giveaway to it will be a pass play. Also, hoping we see the competition at RB keep both guys on their toes.

Think DJ is a fan of nail painting QBs?

Yep. Same reason Greg Olsen was assigned to it.

You can’t pay him and a QB too. If we got him (gigantic if) we should draft a new QB.

That t was my reaction too. How many stinkers has he sat through before forming that conclusion? I mean maybe he is an NFL QB but what I have seen he is a part time NFL QB, on his good days. But he doesn’t have that many good days. It ain’t his ceiling as much as it is his floor that is the issue. PS, Chris Long would not have been afraid of him even a little. He’d be salivating.

That is going to have to be the way, if he stays because we can’t pay two LOT deals. Now, I am all about the cumulative, in the sense that you can win a draft with a bad top pick if you hit elsewhere, and in this scenario, what is the entire group costing you. Like if Icky gets a lot money but we draft a new LOT and move him over and add the two contracts, they total up like two decent values. PS I wanted to make Icky a guard before Dan did his guard stuff. And have to say, I have seen Hunt look pretty bad at times and with th success of the rushing game without him and not sure he was necessary. Great player but maybe not for the price.

I can enjoy the moment without succumbing to reality denying optimism over it

I would prefer Icky be moved to ROT before being paid, not after. but the Motion deal made that impossible.

He isn’t a QB so maybe we are safe from insane overpays.

The QB is spotting them points every other game and Dallas is the number one offense. The rushing yards allowed totals are impressive the last two weeks.

I am kind of ambivalent mainly because I am aligned with the ‘don’t give Chicago more treasure’ sentiment. If he forces his way out take ATs pick and get him. That would make it a very good trade.
