That's looking at it too narrowly though. Wilson is asked to basically not turn the ball over. He does that really well, but at the cost of actually being productive (hasn't had a season over 3,500 yards). This, in turn, inflates his QB rating.

It works for Seattleright nowbecause they've got an amazing team built around him. If you put him on almost any other team though, he'd be required to actually carry the team like most other QB's. Can he? I don't know.

Once again, the Seahawks didn't have a choice. That's just what you pay a franchise QB. But when the pieces around him finally move on, it'll be interesting to see if he's actually worth a shit as an NFL QB.
Very true. Russell is getting paid for what he does best, running the ball. Hes a good game manager too. We have a pretty mediocre receiving core. Golden Tate was the best we had in a few years now. After losing him we could barely get anyone to catch a ball. Gonna be intersting to see how things work with Jimmy Grahama. And if Paul Richardson keeps emerging like he was once he started seeing some snaps, we could be pretty good downfield.

It Is What It Is C, refuses to explain inaccurate Deflategate report that fueled anti-Patriots furor

?You guys made a mistake by drumming up business for the show and how I would address my reporting for the first time,? Mortensen emailed D&C. ?I will not allow WEEI [Robert] Kraft or anybody to make me the centerpiece of a story that has been misreported far beyond anything I did in the first 48 hours. Maybe when the lawsuit is settled, in Brady?s favor, I hope, we can revisit. Don?t call.?
Interesting how he broke that 11/12 balls under 2 PSI and now he clearly thinks Brady should be in the clear. Report first, verify information later.

Chiefs just signed a RB a day after the dude tweeted them his highlight reel. I don't know what to think about this, but he is from my alma mater, so GO CHIEFS

I've made this point before, but I think once you have a guy you consider "good enough" you just have to pay him whatever it takes to keep him around. You can't sit around and pass on re signing a competent QB because you're waiting to tank for the next Andrew Luck. Football doesn't work that way. Those guys come around once a decade and you don't need to tank forever to rebuild a team like in other sports.

So is Wilson good enough? I think pretty much without question.

Thank your faggot kowtowing pussy owner for not backing the right people when it mattered, Patstards.

You were warned; why the Patriots and other franchises should have listened to the Steelers - Behind the Steel Curtain
I agree that Goodell is awful and has too much power but at this point it's just crying over spilled milk from any owner or player. Rooney helped hire the guy(part of the team who lead the search) as did every other owner. They have endorsed him continuously when they have the power to fire. The players union helped create the CBA that gave him so much power. At what point is this not on these guys as well?

I also agree that you are either a Patstard or are a fan of one of the other 31 teams. I wonder less about Rapist's charges and more about his wife. Does she have to play extremely hard to get every time? Are the first words out "STOP, please!" or can she vary the message?

I wonder how much input DeMaurice Smith had on the current CBA? That guy is probably the worst thing to ever happen to the NFLPA.

When they renegotiated I thought the players got kind of screwed, but it's becoming clearer just how badly they fucked it up.

Everytime a new CBA comes up everyone just wants whatever gives them the most money right away. All the long term and logistical stuff seems to get negotiated away to make a small bit more money right now. Well, it's actually a lot of money, but it's relative.

But Dalton's contract is basically the opposite of Wilson's where he'll never see the money since it is largely incentive based. I think he lost like 7M or something on escalators by not winning the SB last year.
Ditto for Kaepernick. His contract sounded big but he's never getting most of that money and they can cut him any time with pretty much no consequence.

I have heard Ryan Clark talk about this very fact several times on ESPN the last couple of years with all this Goodell douche baggery going on.
