  1. id rather have a very good offensive line than one overpaid RB.   i like Cook,  im not sacrificing any other position to sign him for what he thinks hes worth.  was it Cook that was so great last season,  or was it the offensive line,  or was it both?  probably both,  but, if one suffers because of the other,  then nobody is great.  ive seen it far too often where a RB has an amazing season,  either goes to another team,  or the team resigns him has to cut other places,  and amazing RB doesnt look so amazing the next season.  this is what worries me here.   nothing against James,  hes doing what he has to for his future,  no problem with that.  he deserves a raise for sure,  hes earned it,  nobody is bigger than the team though,  cept Josh,  and hes not that kind of guy,  thankfully.

  2. we need more from Ed.  i dont see it happening though.  i think hes reached his limit.  he is what he is at this point.  we need guys who can make plays when theyre needed.  Ed does this a bit,  but not nearly enough.  mbe he lights it up this season?  heres to hoping he does.  

  3. starting to get the feeling Diggs may struggle in his post NFL life.  sure he has generational wealth,  but most of them do before they retire.  yet you hear how it was all pissed away and they start acting up when they arent the top dogs anymore.  its hard to be a celebrity and then become a nobody.  i could be wrong,  he could be just fine,  smart with his money,  whatever,  but he isnt the humblest guy and those guys tend to fall the hardest.   not wishing for this btw,  no hate towards him,  just what i see.

  4. i watched this simply because it was about Josh,  from a QB who played very closely to how Josh plays.  let me say,  im not a fan of Newton,  playing,  off the field, wherever,  but hes definitely good at explaining the game to people.  guy certainly knows what hes talking about.  flamboyant,  annoying at times,  guy knows ball though.

    I'm glad it didn't get banned. 

     

    That'd be like the Bills pushing to have the forward pass banned because Brady spanked them for 20 plus years straight with it...

    lol thats a terrible comparison.  sheesh.  now if u had said something along the lines of those bullsh-t rub routes the Patriots used to run on everybody play after play after play,  then yeah,  id agree.

    I have a hard time believing Cooper is washed up.  He had a career high in receiving yards the season before with Cleveland’s crap QBs.  It had to be an injury.

    from what ive heard that wrist injury he got nearly immediately was looked at and the thought was that he should shut it down for the rest of the season.  it was that bad.  clearly he decided to continue on but that sounds significant to me.  not sure why hes still a FA at this point,  i honestly want him back if its a team friendly deal.  somebody will pick him up around TC time is my guess.  

  7. i really dont like the way this whole scene is seemingly going to play out.  simply cannot overpay in this league anymore unless its for a QB.   we've got Benford looking for a bag,  Cook,  other guys upcoming and the team hasnt really gotten better enough to get over the hump.  Beane is trying to fill holes with value at key spots because he needs to keep other people happy.  is RB a key spot?  id rather pay Benford even with all his injury concerns over Cook,  who absolutely deserve a pay increase mind you.  i dont envy Beane in this case.

  8. i mean,  its easy to give a "discount" when you already have generational wealth.  now he could be a greedy sob and hamstring the team,  but hes already wealthy and it allows him to help himself when it comes to winning.  i guess its something to be excited about,  then you look at Cook who hasnt hit that big payday yet and everybody is dogging on him.  mostly because hes loud with it,  but still.  i love JA17,  no doubt.  he does everything right imo when it comes to off the field and on,  dont take this as bashing on him.
