The Score (LOL): 5 teams that are likely already regretting their big-name FA signing

I understand that at those kind of numbers, I'd have left his ass on the shelf. I understand that I'd have rather paid Whitworth even more on a one or two year deal. I understand that I'd have put in more effort trying to land someone else with a better track record if that was the kind of money I was willing to pay. 

It's not rocket science. Sometimes you have to keep your hands in your pocket if the price is too steep. And, agree with me or not, that was too steep.

Why do you think we could have had Whitworth on a 1 year deal.  He signed a 3 year 30 mil deal.  His cap hit this year is 9.2m  (almost 6 mil more than Kalil).  His cap hit next year will be 12.2 mil (again almost 6 mil more than Kalil).  Kalil is 7 years younger and was willing to come here on basically what appears to be a 'prove it' deal to play with his big brother.  Meanwhile we draft Moton to develop as a potential replacement in 2 years.

Maybe we should let him play more than 2 games before we decide whether this was a good move or not.

Facts are for losers apparently.

You're ignoring the fact that he's sucked since he's been in the league. Because OTs make a lot of money doesn't mean you throw crazy money at a shitty one.  

Also, LOL...no good OTs in the draft for the last 5 years! sure ok. 

 

 

Go back and look at which tackles were available when we pulled the lever.

It's not very pretty.

That's why it was of paramount importance to jump on the tackle problem forthwith and make something happen. We had known about Oher since the second week of the season. No excuses!

There's no use discussing it anymore. Different people value play differently, and have differences of opinion on how funds should be allocated. 

I'm through with delusions for this season!

Hahahaha, very nicely done.

His contract is horrible.....oh, it's not?  OK.

 

NO MORE DELUSIONS

Whatever. We' e discussed this ad nauseum. Keep on beating Kalil's drum if you want to. Meanwhile, Goff is being well protected in LA, Barry Church and D-Jax are in sunny Florida. Hell,  I forgot where Ward ended up. The Ravens? Anyway...

I'm not.  Again, I wasn't thrilled with the pickup.

That said, the contract isn't as bad as everyone in the media, and on this forum make it out to be.

What the hell does Barry Church and Jackson have to do with finding a suitable left tackle?

Like I told you before, opportunity costs. It's not that hard to figure out.

Oh....it's a "I don't like that free agent signing, so I'm going to scream about how bad the contract is, even though it's not, then talk about the free agents that Tampa Bay picked up that we weren't looking at"?

Kalil's cap hit this year is 3.5, Jacksons 12.5.

You are really bad at this.

The contract is bad, and I am not the only one that thinks so. His career production was not commensurate with what he will actually be getting paid. It's as simple as that! 

You don't think so, but so what? Others do. And now you wan to sit back and beat a dead horse. Give it up! Sometimes agreeing to disagree is the wisest option.

I'm bored with this discussion.
