fsif posted:Apologies for being so dense, but how does Miami get any optics wins for having Bridgewater active as a backup? I don't think there are a chorus of people who demand Teddy sit in the first place, but if there were, why would they be okay with him being a backup? It's okay to risk his health in this case because there's only like a 3% chance he sees the field? I think it's more a combination of all the factors. I'd guess Skylar is starting because he actually got the full week of practice with some additional influence from not wanting to repeat the Tua incident, and at least on the former after seeing Teddy's spot starts I can't really blame the coaching staff for it. I imagine they still probably rate Teddy with no practice above Sinnett and that's why he's the backup. That certainly flies in the face of the aforementioned optics concern, but from an overall franchise perspective having 3 QBs knocked out in 3 weeks (and Teddy twice, in this worst case scenario) is a bigger disaster than being lit up in the media for another week because Teddy gets concussed as the backup QB. I think it's still very possible that Teddy actually was concussed and the Miami beat coverage selectively reported some of this stuff over the course of the week, but Teddy dressing but not starting doesn't rule out the optics IMO. stuker fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Oct 15, 2022 |

If Flores coached, Tua would never have been injured since he’d be benched halfway through the Ravens game, and our defense would be 11% better. Also we’d be 1-4.

Okay, I'll stop belaboring this point in a second because I guess I'm the only one who thinks this is completely insane logic. BUT, if I understand the optics calculation correctly, Miami has a certain risk tolerance for the negative PR they'd (theoretically) receive if Teddy Bridgewater sustained a head injury next week. The percentage chance he sustains a head injury as a starter is too high for them; the percentage chance that Skylar has to leave the game and Teddy has to enter in relief and THEN sustains a head injury is significantly lower. They're queasy about the former, but willing to roll the dice on the latter. (And, importantly, Miami believes that no one will care to notice the obvious point that they are willing to protect Teddy's health JUST SO LONG as Reid Sinnett doesn't have to take a snap.)

I mean I think there's a legitimate chance they think Skylar gives them a better chance to win this week after getting a full week of practice which factors into Teddy not starting. That could be very dumb and he lays an egg against the Vikings, but again Teddy has not looked great when forced into the game in Tua's previous departures. I know I had some hope that he would look better after a week working with the starters before the Jets game, and I guess I'm extending that logic to Skylar now this following week. Regarding optics in general, if Miami didn't care about them then I'm not sure why they'd have announced Tua being out or specifically mention that Bridgewater would be the expected backup as early as they did-- those data points are certainly helpful to an opponent. e: Flores stuff made me realize, the "who should be the starting/backup QB" conversation is a nice callback to last season stuker fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Oct 15, 2022 |

I have no idea what anyone in the Dolphins org thinks but the idea that nobody cares as long as no one gets hosed up on camera is absolutely correct. We’ve seen Wilson literally just blow of a concussion check and put himself back in the game. Mahomes has taken bad hits a couple of times and been cleared basically immediately and played the next week. In those cases they made it through the games without incident and everyone just forgot and moved on. But McDaniel didn’t claim that Teddy was being moved to backup out of concern for his health. There’s no gotcha there.

This might be kind of old. But the Badlands guys (mostly Connor Rogers) did an absolutely incredible film session on the play design of the Breece Hall 79 yard wheel. Everything about it is hilarious—LaFleur literally had 3 Miami defenders running into each other with no idea where Breece Hall was and it’s very cool to see how they drew it up. Anyways I’m excited for Sunday. Those are famous last words. Professor Funk fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Oct 15, 2022 |

I'd like CMC on the team but I don't know what I'd give up for him. I assume he'd just be a one year rental and it feels like there are about even odds that he'd be the final piece for the offense or be a total non-factor. Guess I'd pretty enthusiastically give up a 4th or less, be fairly pensive about a 3rd, and say "definitely not" about a 2nd or more.

His contract really balloons next season. His 2023 dead cap number is like 18 million, and 11 million in 2024. I’m sure there’s some restructuring shenanigans that can make it more palatable but (to my limited understanding of contract/cap crap) trading for CMC would be a multi year investment. You really gotta believe he’s the missing piece.

I thought much of the point in Carolina moving their best player was to get out of cap hell for next year. If they are willing to take on all the financial burden and risk then yeah that becomes a LOT more tempting.

CMC is a hell of a weapon in the passing game as well. They probably should have traded up for Breece Hall in the draft but barring that, I’d probably pull the trigger on a conditional 3rd that can become a 2nd. It’s Super Bowl or bust already. Just go for it.

McCaffery is going to hit Carolinas cap for 18 million if they trade him or 19 million if they don’t. It barely helps them at all from a cap perspective. But it does clear him from their books in 2024 and 2025 when he has cap hits of 19 and 15 million.
