eagle45 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Rasul Douglas was what I like to call an asymmetric talent. He had incredible ball skills, elite length, and an inability to carry deep speed downfield. Love that skill set or hate it, there is a certain way that player needs to be used on the field. And Schwartz had either a complete inability or unwillingness to do that. As bad as Maddox has been for the last 2 years, he was great as a rookie right out of the gate. So I’d be content to give him a fresh shot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sold on barnett either, I think he's wildly inconsistent and always hurt, the one good thing he has going for him is hes only 24 years old and has room for improvement. Feels like he's one of those guys that we'll always be saying, this is his year. Not sure that year ever happens☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't give maddox another shot on the outside, he's just too small and short and while he's rarely out of position his lack of length limits his effectiveness. I'd say maybe slot but he seemed to really struggle there. I think his best fit might be safety though at his size and injury history I'm not sure he can hold up there over a full season.

If you check out my post from yesterday I compared Derek Barnett, Chris Long, Josh Sweat and Vinny Curry. I don't think it's smart to invest what's looking like over $8 million/year in Barnett when you can get near the same production from 1-year vet rentals. I would much rather spend $2-3 million on a vet per on 1 year deals until there is someone worth investing in. Barnett is what he is which isn't terrible, just isn't worth what he's going to get.

I can agree with that. I would assume the thinking with barnett is one is paying for his potential as he's still only 24? Yet I'm not sure he's getting much better, I think he's reached his ceiling which as is doesn't dictate 8 mil a year and as you say the money would be better spent on cheaper just as effective alternatives.

I'm guessing this is why DP is gone and Nick is here. Do what the owner wants. Nah I'm right there with you. Why hire a coach if the owner and the bean counting gm nerd are going to dictate everything to that coach. Shouldn't the GMs job be to find players to fit the coaches scheme/s and the owners job to write the checks? When owners start playing GM and GM starts playing coach we get what we got last year which a dysfunctional team from top to bottom. I'm fine with an owner having a vision and being clear about how he wants his team to be marketed for lack of a better term but when the owner starts making decisions he hired others to do and the GM does things he's not qualified to do it's a recipe for failure.

ManuManu Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I wonder if we could see some vet convert part their salary into a bonus to be paid one week into the new league year to help accommodate time for a trade to get done since for some dumb reason the NFL doesn’t allow a one-day window for teams to trade players to get under the cap by the start of the league year.

ManuManu Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The way I see it with Pitts is the Eagles (or whoever) had better be right about him being elite. There isn’t much margin for error when taking a TE that high. If he’s merely top 7-8 and a borderline Pro Bowl player that’s not good enough. If he’s top 2-3 and dictates coverage it’s fine. That’s a tough landing to stick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a tough landing to stick though. I think Siri would be enamored with him being an overall versatile offensive weapon, I just couldn't take him over Chase. Which I could easily see Howie doing. But if Chase is gone I'd be fine there with Pitts at 6. I feel like trading back is best but that probably means Howie won't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwill2420 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Someone mentioned True Detective about a week ago and I know I’m probably by myself in this one but I thought it was just OK. Nothing great. The acting was very good with Matthew McConaughey amd Harrelson. Never felt like there was any danger. Normally when things Associate with the devil there’s a certain fear that just never happened for me. Things did amp up in the season finale but it was over quickly Alexandria Daddario is pretty hot in this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
