Didn’t bridge water sign a long term 25 million a year deal? That ain’t something you can pay a backup when you already up against the hard cap. Would have had to cut Brees, the right move

Next year will certainly be the test.

As next year they are projected to be 78 million over, and if Brees retires it only reduces that to 42 million over.

Comeback from what exactly?

He was a backup last year who went 5-1 while posting great numbers.

Perhaps, MVP is the award you're looking for?

Steve Smith had to share it with a player who didn't miss a game the previous season.

The award is all about narrative and he's the first human to play football after touching his knee to his ankle.

hosed up fourth down call that rhule said was the coaches gently caress up.

Panthers probably win that game without the turnover on downs.

Bridgewater rides the line between perennial backup and good qb forever. The kind of guy that gives you qb controversies forever. Thats not to say he's bad, but he's clearly not "the guy" a team wants.

Dude owns on a personal level though.

Problem is voters are dumb and tend to think about only who is coming back from an immediate injury or issue. Teddy's injury was training camp 2016, so it might as well be ancient history for them. If Ben doesn't completely fall apart, he's likely the favorite for it for narrative bullshit reasons, with Cam right behind him (And, depending on how he comes back after COVID, might overtake him).

So is Daks injury less or more severe than your standard ACL tear? Just for reference because you can set your watch by the recovery time for an ACL whereas ankles might be trickier.
Just seeing on ESPN right now 4-6 months :shrug:. The only reference I have is Grant Hill who went through a bunch of poo poo (start of the Magic section) but that was 20 years ago. Hopefully the Cowboys/Dallas doctors are better than the Chargers'.

Any indication he'll get into politics after playing? His name alone would win elections.

NFLPA failed by not getting rid of the franchise tag.

They had the head of the NFLPA on some show talking about the franchise tag and his points were it wasn't seen as a problem by them. For one, it's used by a small minority of players. Those players get a fully guaranteed contract that is worth a ton of money and in the case of someone like Kirk Cousins make an absolutely obscene amount of money before eventually getting even more obscene amounts of money. If you look at the history of players getting franchised tag - according to him - most of them got a huge 1 year payday then signed an even bigger longer term contract with another team. So it's just not a problem as seen by the majority of the union. Remember, the union is mostly composed of people making the minimum, not the quarterbacks on quarter billion dollar contracts.

With that said, Dak's injury is going to suck. It's a compound fracture - still can't believe romo said it was a calf cramp when it was obvious Dak was holding on to the literal bone poking through his calf - which can get super infected as what happened to Alex Smith. and as FizFashizzle said the healing of the ankle when it fractures like that is going to be rough just due to all the stuff down there that likely also got torn.

I feel like you have to consider Matt LaFleur as a strong contender for Coach of the Year even though he went 13-3 last year and COTY typically goes to coaches who have large turnarounds in the w/l column. This Packers offense has been amazing through the first quarter of the season even despite the entire WR stable getting injured.

It's in Tampa this year and the idiot governor of Florida is already allowing fans back, potentially at full capacity , so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the NFL thinks they can get a full stadium at the Super Bowl in February, and don't want to change the date at all.
