I've always respected GT's QB. He can't throw, he's not particularly fast, but he still finds a way to be pretty damn effective. Gotta respect it. It drives me crazy because it's like WTF... why can't we stop this guy, but he does it to a lot of teams.

Wake Forest in a 10-9 dog fight with Kennesaw State. Kennesaw's ball with two minutes to go. We'll see if Wake hangs on against a school I literally didn't know existed. LOL

Yeah, the penalty is one thing but the automatic ejection seems too much but people would be hollering if it was left up to ref discretion so I get it.

Yeah, pretty sure we were.

Momentum really swinging. Colorado still up 7-3 after GT stalled in the redzone their last drive but after a quick score on their first drive Colorado just can't move the ball at all while GT was moving the ball at will after they stopped turning it over.

And despite that CU is only up 7-0 with GT knocking on the door of the redzone. With a quick strike opening score and two gifted turnovers they've really blown a golden opportunity to blow this game wide open.

My bad, I read your initial post as highest paid.

So how are you determining who is the highest paid THIS year?

Yeah, it's misleading just using the cap hit THIS year based on how NFL contracts work in terms of moving cap hits around for convenience. Dak Prescott is the highest paid player in the NFL this year. Is that indicative of anything other than Jerry Jones being an idiot? Taylor Moton is the highest paid OT this year. Is that indicative of anything other than the Panthers being morons?

Colorado strikes quick on their first possession for a TD. Let's see if their D is any better than last year now.

I mean, we're either looking at playing Nick Scott who honestly shouldn't be on an NFL roster, a 4th round rookie, or a second year UDFA. That's pretty desperate.

The timing is definitely very odd. Seems like a good chance there's something more to it than just a football decision.

I wouldn't be opposed to Moehrig if we hadn't paid him like a guy who can cover.

"This year" is a bit misleading with how cap hits in contracts work. Looking at average per year contract value, Hamilton is #1 and while technically having a higher run grade, I mean c'mon... Kerby Joseph is #2 Antoine Winfield Jr. is #3. LOL @ the Bucs

Those are the types of safeties you can get on the cheap. Safeties get paid for coverage unless you're stuck in the 80s and 90s.

I hope I'm wrong about Moehrig but I never understood backing up the Brinks truck for him. He's the type of safety you can generally grab for pretty cheap and lo and behold here's a better version of Moehrig available on the trash heap on the eve of the season.

Wouldn't even be that. We still need two starting safeties. It would be more saying that Nick Scott stinks (facts) and we don't want to be backed into relying on a 4th round rookie.

We have a lot of moves that still need to be made. A phone call is free.

This is definitely worth a phone call to his agent for a conversation. I'm encouraged by the reports on Ransom but relying on a 4th round rookie to be an immediate impact is a tall ask.

I doubt it. Should be a vested veteran I think.

Peppers: We could've literally done better off the trash heap.

I'm a Heels/Panthers fan. I've learned not to spend all off-season talking poo. LOL

GB thinks they have that in Love. Maybe they do maybe they don't. We'll see how it plays out. Ultimately it's all about the results on the field in the way of wins, losses, and ultimately rings. If they win a SB in the next few years it was obviously worth it.

Remember when Gettleman yanked the tag off of Norman right before the draft and it just gutted our locker room and pretty much tanked our season before it even got started? Yeah, the timing on this move is way worse than that. This is being done basically on the eve of the season kicking off. Not only is the locker room getting shocked but now you have the coaching staff pretty much recreating their game plans. I guarantee you everyone in the organization fully expected Parsons to be there

Some more okay-ish football on tap tonight. Auburn/Baylor and Colorado/Georgia Tech.
