Got his infrastructure built for him with our money, and did it in such a way that fans have to buy tickets in order to not lose their initial investment. Then he raised prices while purposely giving us a lesser product last year just so he could pocket the extra money and build a war chest to use as leverage while he locks out his workers until they agree to work longer hours for less money. All this while he's already profitable.

Jerry might just be ahead of the curve. We didn't have the pieces in place to win a title, so why not clean house before the storm? I understand your feelings about this, but JR answers to folks as well (49% or so). In the end and with hindsight, we should be better off.

I think Jerry thought we could win with the young players. And next season, we will be glad they played. We get the following back: Williams, Stewart will be healthy, Otah, Davis, Wharton, Connor. Rookies from 2010 who could see tremendous improvement: Clausen, Edwards, Lafell, Gettis, Norwood (D fits him nicely at SLB), Hardy, Pike, and Pugh.

Meanwhile, we are millions beneath the cap.

Healthy. We have to sign about 3 UFAs and retain about 3.

And for those who think he screwed up by speaking to Manning the way he did, consider this:

1. What would Manning say to JR if he poked his head into his huddle and questioned his play-calling? Ask Jeff Saturday how that turned out.

2. It was the players who made that public. If you have a meeting behind closed doors, keep it there.

3. JR never butts into the coaching of the team. He stays out of the papers and rarely gives interviews. The reason? The press maniplates, twists, fabricates, etc. He wants the focus to be on the product. He is not interested in showboating, attracting attention to himself, feeding his ego like Jones, Davis, or other owners. However, Manning was playing his game, and JR schooled him. Don't for one minute think that his knowledge of Xs and Os converts makes him knowedgeable about dollars and cents.

JR is trying to preserve the league to keep the locusts from eating more than half the crop. We are a small market team. Appreciate him.

It gets me how people can support the players and gripe about ticket prices.

This really should have been a topic of discussion at the town hall meeting last night. ;)

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      I will say, I'm not a Bryce hater.  I have seen definite improvement in his play the past few weeks.  Hopefully he builds on it and becomes an elite qb.  In the back of my mind though there is a little voice that says, maybe this is mostly Canales and if he can do this with a player as limited physically as Bryce, what could he do with a young qb who doesn't have as many limitations.    That said, it is probably actually a combination of everything and you've got to give credit to Bryce for coming back from the benching looking the best he ever has.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      Yeah that is highly accurate. I'm sure he did something decent but almost everywhere you look it was bad. I'm on board with judging Morgan for what happens under his authority, when it is his rep on the line with these decisions. They made the right decision on Burns this year, and Burns pushed them to it. For 5 mil less per season we might still have him, so I appreciate Burns for going the extra mile with the greed.

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I do think it's best not to get excited - as you highlight, we've seen great games here and there from otherwise mediocre QBs. But, it's also important to remember the context. That was one of CMC's many combined 100+ yard games for us (close to 150 with 2 total TDs if I recall). While a lot of us acknowledge TB was a decent veteran but not the answer, the point was he WAS a veteran and by the end of that season we knew his ceiling. The hope with Bryce is he continues to grow. Worth taking a look at how different the passing charts are, too... All but 8 throws basically within 5 yards of the LoS. 8 throws beyond 10 yards, and with 49 attempts!   vs Only 4 of BY's throws were behind the LoS, Nearly half his passes were beyond 10 yards. Just a very different depth of target selection.  Bryce was threatening all over the field. Fwiw, Bryce's TD % this year is pretty close to Teddy's that year - but that's including the two terrible games he started. Over the last 4 games, he's above it, so let's see if he can keep that up.
