I hear such mixed things about Brees as a person. His ridiculous jewellery habit skewed my opinion one way, but this just brought him back into the realm of ‘good guy’ in my books.
And so was Clowney for much of the year...and the stats were similar in 3 less games...and he had 2 tds...and Seattle was “load managing “ him until the playoffs where he showed out. I’m going to agree to disagree with you and end this.
Seattle had a horrific group of DB’s for much of the season. Teams were racking up huge yardage by just putting burners on them. The DT’s, even our guy Jefferson, were not getting any pressure up the middle. We all know that one man does not make a defense.
I can give you lesser players making more than the $12million you are talking about. I can also give you 32 NFL GM’s that would love to have him for $14million if he’d take it. You are quoting one stat as indicative of the players value
The stat optics are bad, but the game optics are telling a different story. You can choose to believe what you will, but his QB pressure stat is high-end and you would love him if he were on the Bills roster opening day
I will just assume that you didn’t watch much Seahawks football last season. He was a major force when he was on the field. His sack numbers are not telling the whole story. He commanded double teams on most every play. He’s not a $20 million player but he’s nowhere near mediocre
Reread your statement. By saying anyways, it insinuates that you’d rather have Lindsay. That is a quite obvious statement, but Gordon makes Freeman redundant in the backfield and he is a back who would be worth giving up a fifth rounder for.
They are not giving up Lindsay. Freeman was a 2nd rounder who has shown really well when given his opportunity. I’d happily see him in the Bills backfield.
I think Ben has taken a few steps forward...towards the beer fridge. The guy looked like your average 50 year old Steelers fan on the sidelines last year.
Probably wanted to stay in that division to stick it to the Chargers. He won’t, but he seems like that guy.
edit: Can we take Royce Freeman off the Broncos hands?
