Swag's 7-26 Camp Observations

You guys can make fun of it all you want but I'm really not happy about our 1st round pick being owned by a guy who wouldn't even be starting on most teams. Hopefully Star just needs to get acclimated though.

Silatolu drastically improved down the stretch; there are lots of teams that would kill to have him. And these aren't even padded practices, so neither are going full bore. Don't be ignorant.

Ccs stop being dumb. Amini is as strong or stronger than Star. This is going to make Star better.

And you must have not been watching amini the last couple of games. He manhandled people. And destroyed in the second level. The fact we have a practice matchup like this is a good thing. For both players.

a lot of outlets assigned amini a borderline first round grade just based on his physical talents.  that he's strong, tough, and plays to the whistle was never in question.  most of the knocks on him coming in to the nfl were about his raw technique and how he'd adjust to the huge difference between DII level talent and what he'd face in the pros.

 

he did whip gerald mccoy in the second bucs game.  just because he's not a carl nicks yet doesn't mean that he's not good.

I know that this probably doesn't mean much I'm just saying that it isn't the result I was wanting. I really never pay a whole lot of attention to how people perform in camp. I'm much more concerned with how he plays in the first preseason game.

There is a reason a receiver makes 2 catches in a year on a 9ers team that wasn't even loaded at WR. Hopefully he can give us some good field position.

This is the best thing that could happen to Star at the moment. Just because your a first round pick doesn't mean your an automatic starter. Either he'll learn from it, or break. But at least well see Stars mental toughness sooner rather than later.

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
