Chir, I think you're projecting your own views on the Cowboys. You're arguing that a team that just spent the 4th overall pick on a running back won't invest in the running back position. I don't think you would have made the Zeke pick, and I don't think the Cowboys see eye to eye with you about it.

TheChirurgeon posted:I see his point in that the Cowboys felt it was OK to invest a draft pick in Running Back, but there's clearly a difference (to them anyways) between draft capital and money/cap space There is no difference. It's all a finite amount of capital you have available to spend to make the team better. And a 4th overall pick costs a fuckload more than a 7 AAV contract. If you gently caress up on a 7 AAV contract, it sucks, but you can still be competitive. You gently caress up the 4th overall pick, and it can set your franchise back years. I didn't say the Cowboys WOULD resign Murray, just that it would serve them well to pay him. And it would've. Demarco would probably still be killing it behind that line, and you could've had Bosa on the cheap. They didn't have the cap space to do that though, so they spent a high draft pick that they did have available instead. Had the roles been reversed, and they had traded the 4th overall pick away and they had a bunch of cap space available, do you honestly believe they still would've let Murray walk? Don't be silly. A team that drafts a player top 5 clearly values that players position. You don't see kickers going top ten when they are the BPA. Volkerball fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Mar 2, 2017 |

The funny thing about kickers is that the growth at the position has been so limited. All the players in the league are bigger, faster, and stronger, and the game has changed significantly because of it. But the longest field goal in NFL history today is only one yard further than what the longest field goal in NFL history was nearly 50 years ago. Kickers are constantly getting more accurate, but it's possible we may not see a 70 yard field goal in our lifetimes if current trends continue

He's showed enough upside that I'd take him as a guy who could compete over some 33 year old retread. Not at 14mil AAV tho you must be high

He's going to lose all his roster and workout bonuses and such that he would've earned from being on the team over the next couple years since he was ~uncuttable~. But beyond that, if the man had any sort of ambition about being an NFL qb, this has got to be a level of devastating that hasn't been seen in the NFL since LeCharles Bentley got a career ending injury on the first snap of mini-camp after signing with his favorite team.

TheChirurgeon posted:McClain is saying that the Texans aren't interested in trading for Romo, only going after him in FA. It's entirely possible Denver could get Romo and Houston would have been more than willing to trade away Osweiler just so he's off the team. They could go Cutler and a 1st or 2nd on a QB in the draft if they didn't want to trade for Romo. Romo would probably give them the best chance in the short term though.

axeil posted:Has there ever been as blatant a salary dump trade as the Brock trade? I'm trying to think up one and coming up empty. there's always been rumors of them, but they never seem to actually happen. teams always just end up eating the money until they can cut the player, and bad teams with a ton of cap space just end up carrying a bunch of cap space into the season. i can't recall a single blatant salary dump like this.

Intruder posted:There are tons of them in the NBA but I think having as much cap space as the Browns with so little hope for being worth a poo poo the following season to be willing to eat that kind of hit is uncharted territory the raiders had like $120 million a couple years ago. the jags are always have a shitload too. every year there's teams that could easily eat 20 million that are in full rebuild mode. and those teams always have to go over the scrap heap for free agents, so there's nobody they could spend that cash on anyways. the deals just never happen. maybe this one will break the seal and we'll start to see them more often if the nfl doesn't try to nip it in the bud. although another thing to keep in mind is that i think you can carry cap space over from previous years in some form now.

Chichevache posted:A top RB can thrive with a poo poo line, and average guy can with Dallas'. Your poo poo line is exactly why fournette is a good choice, if the coaches think he can be good. He takes pressure off Bortles and keeps defenses honest so that you can try to get that Passing game going. It takes a really, really good rb to be able to do that these days though. Lb's are faster and dt's are bigger than ever

Intruder posted:Yeah pretty much. So football games would have like 8 hours of stoppage time No it wouldn't because the clock stops during stoppages in the NFL. In soccer, it keeps running. If we were on soccer rules, at the start of the game there'd be a kick return, a few first downs, a punt, and then it'd be the two minute warning

It's not a draft, dude. Players aren't signed in order from best to worst. EJ got signed for dirt cheap to be a backup/3rd string. Kaep is going to want to go somewhere where he can compete to be a starter. That ain't happening in Oakland.

My favorite Carr funslinging thing was against the Packers I think two years ago. At the line of scrimmage he called an audible because he saw Cooper had a one on one, so he said gently caress it and had Cooper run a fly route. Completed for a big gain. Everyone hustled back to the line, and the defense must've gave him the same look, because he called the exact same audible and hit Cooper deep again for a TD. Like 70 yards in two plays. It was hilarious. Dude has never seen a one on one matchup he didn't like.
