Cam likely doesn't even sniff the MVP in 2015 if you go by his passing alone. He won the MVP that year, in large part, because he ran the ball 132 times for 636 yards and 10 TDs in addition to passing adequately with a high number of TDs. He completed less than 60% of his passes, and passed for fewer yards in 16 games than Big Ben passed for in 11.5 games.
The comparison between Allen and Newton begins and ends at the fact that neither is a very accurate passer.
Here's why I can't get behind this logic. Let's fast forward just 1 week.
In the 2nd half against the Chargers Tyrod was 15/25 for 158 and a TD, and had 4 runs for 38 yards and another TD. If Nate could have done the same thing he would still be the starter.
Went there for the 2nd Pats game while I was in Charlotte visiting family for Christmas. It was a great experience and my Grandparents now bring it up every time we talk!
I don't see it effecting us much at all. The only Panthers player coming into FA this year worth considering is Star, and there are quite a few good DTs available aside from him. From a coaching staff perspective McD seems to care more about the Reid tree than the Carolina connections.
Yes, as the offseason began the Ravens wanted to keep Tyrod as a backup and Tyrod declined, saying he wanted an opportunity to start. Throughout free agency the Ravens were still prepared to bring him back if that opportunity did not present itself. Was official paperwork drawn up for the contract and submitted to the NFL? No, because being the backup was the beginning and end of the negotiating process.
As far as links go I don't really know how much was published about a short series of conversations, but here's a Baltimore Sun article citing 'sources' that the Ravens remained interested through Tyrod's visit with the Bills.
So you're thinking that teams are going to extend players beyond their rookie contract when they haven't proven to be a worthwhile contributor? And that's not even getting into situations like Tyrod, who believed he had starting ability and refused a contract extension to remain a backup despite limited regular season action.
6 years in means we'd have already given him a 2nd contract and he'd be at least 2 years into that one. In his first 3 years in Houston he started 10 games and the Texans went 2-8 in those games. Thinking he'd have lasted beyond his rookie contract is foolish. If a player isn't going to contribute within the duration of their rookie contract then they aren't worth the draft pick.
Based on the Jimmy Johnson trade chart it'd take both of our firsts and both of our 2nds to move from 21 to 3.
Based on the newly revised trade chart floating around it'd take One of our firsts, our first next year, our higher 2nd, and the Eagles' 3rd.
One year isn't enough to determine a trend, and I know Beane wasn't here yet for the draft, but Tre White, Zay Jones, Dion Dawkins, and Nate Peterman were all at the Senior Bowl last year I think. So our first 3 picks and the QB we drafted.
His role would probably be to replace Alexander and let Alexander play DE. Not a bad thing I suppose, I just think he's more focused on finding his Kuechley.
Yeah, he was pretty good in coverage situations on RBs and TEs. Just not sure he's what McD is looking for in a 1st round investment for his scheme. Also a decent chance he's gone by 21 anyway. He's going to crush the combine and someone will fall in love.
He could fit what McD wants to do at OLB, but I don't see him as our MLB 'QB of the D' guy. If McD thinks he can get his MLB later then maybe he grabs Tremaine early to infuse athleticism into the position group. Tremaine needs to fill out his frame a bit at the next level, but I don't see that being an issue.
