Crow Eating Thread

A few of us on the huddle need to own up to some of the assumptions that we've had from before the start of the season. 

I'll start with Shaq Thompson: I didn't like the pick when we first drafted him. He was a luxury pick, and one who had no playing time and couldn't consistently make plays. I was ready to let the man walk. However, this guy is balling out and it's thrilling to watch. Arguably as good(if not better) than TD.

Also Mario Addison: This guy has always been the definition of JAG to me. From the eye test I believed that he lucked into most of his sacks the past few years. The guy has proven me wrong with a consistent pass rush and has proven to be a capable starter.

I said Allen/Grier would basically lose out if Cam went down. That is clearly not the case.

I have to eat crow on thinking we might have one of the best OL's we have ever had. Boy was that wrong.

Probably some crow from hoping a little bit that Olsen retires because he couldn't stay healthy. Man, he is looking good.

How about all the people who say Ron owes his coaching  tenure and any success to Cam?.......right now I believe ole Ron is 5-2 without Cam.   I want to assure you this isn't a knock on Cam ( I think he's great when healthy) but a promotion of Rivera as many here are not willing to give him any credit what so ever.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
