Not saying you won’t be right, but a bit early to be making this call, no?remember when there was a part of the fanbase saying it was a bad idea to get rid of carr, because you can't find another qb right away?
turns out you can find a better option both in a veteran qb and in the 4th round
I wouldn’t count your chickens before they are hatched but I really hope you are right.remember when there was a part of the fanbase saying it was a bad idea to get rid of carr, because you can't find another qb right away?

Anyone who has followed the Patriots during their dynasty run also knows its always been more about ''The System'' than any other thing , the motto ''Just do your Job '' was the mantra for years. They usually had a bunch of blue chip players with a few high profile players , Dillon, Moss, Brady of course and others of the same ilk, but somehow they just kept winning with this type of methodology . Clearly this has been the plan all along .
and there were signs pointing that way
agree 100% the things that give me hope are that the o line isn't an absolute disaster. and the d might just possibly maybe have a chance to not totally suck. oh and no more carr
we were all super positive and optimistic last preseason as well, when we were undefeated and everything seemed like it was rolling in the right direction.
then the wheels fell off.
I‘m sure it’s mostly just my defense mechanism after decades of abuse and disappointment to not get my hopes up, but I ain’t close to making any claims that the ship is headed in the right direction, and everyone‘s bought in, and all that jazz until it’s proven on the field in games that actually mean something.
I am 10000% hoping you bump this after week 9 to say how clairvoyant you were 2 weeks before the season even started.

nest sounds like he's been killing it
Raiders roster bubble: Breaking down 9 open spots and who's fighting for them
A look at the positions still in flux ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.
Writeup on Cutdown Day.
We very well may cut Jordan Willis, Matthew Butler, and Nesta Jade.
Dorsett vs. Wilkerson
Bars lost job to Van Roten, and now he has Muti and McClendon Curtis coming after backup jobs.
We gonna cut some promising D-linemen.
From what I have heard (not seen during practice) I would rather keep Nesta and drop Butler and move him to PS.

if youve seen the history of handsome Dan , i.e., Jimmy G, he'll last like 4 games before he breaks down. Enter O'connell. he's going to have some lengthy playing time this season, just because jimmy G can't stay healthy, we all know this. and o-connell looks like 2023 version of 2022 brock purdy., jusss sayin..Not saying you won’t be right, but a bit early to be making this call, no?remember when there was a part of the fanbase saying it was a bad idea to get rid of carr, because you can't find another qb right away?

Ok, that’s one deal.
Bump
i searched and the answer is no
Check your math sir.
That's minus eleven million in savings. That's Bernie Ebbers strategy there. 2023 cap hit = $14.244 M and dead hit = $25.6M. They would eat $11M+ more to cut him this year and there's only ~$3M in 2023 cap space available. Yes, that would end up avoiding next year's $12M dead, and get the aggregate ~$1M savings, but they don't have the 2023 cap space to make the move.
So i did find this after refining my search
Hard to believe that a franchise guy would come in late to camp to limit the possibility of injury, boy you never see that happen........
jimmy g will start the season under center. Jacobs will sign. They’ll win 7-9 games.. Hopefully some of these draft pics hit.
My draft is tomorrow I pick 2nd. I had him targeted at the turn. Couldn’t wait 1 more day eh jacobs.
Not a team player, obvi, glad they didn't extend him.
