He said it doesn't look good. That's not the same as saying we're out.

I'm hopeful the FA signings (which have more of a Fitterer/Morgan feel to them than Rhule's last offseason) indicates that Rhule has lost personnel control and we can make our draft picks for the long-term good of the franchise and not saving Rhule's job in 2022.

A rather ironic statement given the past year and a half...

Take out the question mark and everything after it in the link and it will embedd.

Watson strikes me as the kind of guy who would simply talk about the positives of the place he did chose rather than any negative of a place he didn't chose. Person: Deshaun, why didn't you choose Carolina? DW: I just felt ______ was the right place for me (and go on to talk about the good things about _______)

They just restructured Ryan to get his cap hit to 37M. How in the world do they fit both QBs under the cap?

I have blotted that day from my memory.

I could be forgetting one, but probably the Legion of Boom blowing out Payton and the Broncos.

It was mean to demonstrate the fallacy of thinking that since X has never happened, it can never happen. It never happened, until it does. You could have made this thread in 2006 saying no team had won the Super Bowl with QB taking up more than 10% of the cap. 10% is the magic number. Can't go over that. It's never been done. You would have been 100% right. But then the 2007 Giants won the Super with Eli at 10.75% of their cap. Okay, fine, you make the thread the following year and say no team has ever won the Super Bowl with a QB taking up more than 11% of the cap. 11% is the magic number. Can't go over that and expect to win. You're absolutely right... until 2011 when the Giants (again oddly enough) win with Eli at 11.71% of their cap. Fine, 12%. 12% must be the magic number. Can't go over 12% and expect to win. Looks great until 2020 when Tampa comes along and wins with 12.6% of their cap. But now, you're convinced 12.6% is the magic number. Can't go over that. Nope. No way...

Also from the same article, apparently, you can still GET to the Super Bowl, you just can't win it. 2009: Peyton Manning (IND): 18.8% 2016: Matt Ryan (ATL): 15.3% 2013: Peyton Manning (DEN): 14.16% "It's never happened!" Until it does.

Prior to the 2020 season, no team in 20+ years had won a Super Bowl in their own stadium. It just happened twice.

It's simply the known versus unknown argument again. You know DW is a top tier QB. There's about a 50% chance (based upon historical trends) that the rook is a bust.

The top two IOL on the market have already agreed to deal (Sherriff with Jags, Tomlinson with the Jets--both teams that already have their franchise QB in place).

Top two IOL (Sherriff, Tomlinson) gone.

Trubisky to Pittsburgh. That won't be a viable plan B if we miss in Watson.

I embedded it for him.

Wasn't Watson pushing for Houstron to hire Eric Bieniemy at one point?

At this point, I'm not believing anything unless it comes from someone like Rapsheet, Schefty, Tom Pel, etc.

Cousins resigning with the Vikings. They are out.

But we resigned the vet long snapper we already had...
