Because the power is given soley to the team in this arrangement, only a desperate player would accept those terms. In this case, if The Pats want to keep him they guaranteed his rights to themselves by offering 20M, BUT its unlikely they would want to pay that much to him bc market value is going to be lower, so they can either keep him at slightly above market for a year or leverage the fact he can't go anywhere to force him to take a short term deal for reasonable money. No sane player would give up their rights like that. Being foolish/desperate for "guaranteed" money, which he didn't get, by the way, led to this.

They didn't guarantee *****. 1 Million at signing and the rest is set up as game by game checks, if he is on the team he gets paid, otherwise he's out on his ass.

Oh i hope the opportunity presents itself for a free run on that douchbag... preferably by Poyer, but I think Oliver would be more fun on a nice bubble screen.. flat out destruction.

Whats funny is the team he torched for 150 in a half was Kansas City and nobody could figure out why we didnt feed him the ball in the 2nd... now he puts up 175 with KC in the 1st half and doesnt break 200 yards.. crazy. He had one helluva game, but a 2nd half player he is not.

I thought the first half play calls where borderline insane, not because they were all passes, but they were not all that successful. Running into the strengths of the D w Gore made no sense either. Singletary obviously hit holes that he wasn't scheduled for, unless he hasbt been coached to have the ball in the right hand, which I doubt.

I felt the personnel choices were far too conservative and the tendency of playing not to lose vs playing to win came back late. A first dow. On the final drive guaranteed the win, didn't bother even trying to get one. Singletary off the field and run right up the gut, I hated that. It was nice they appear to be letting Allen take charge a bit, DiMarco got way too much feature action for my liking. I was hoping to see more use of the dynamic playmakers. Its week one, lets see where it goes.

I'm a little lost how 17.5 YPR is poor, but ok. Guy is on pace for 1100+ yards on 64 carries lol.

Actually, thats spot on. Brown has been streaky for his career, hopefully in a more featured roll he is a little more consistent. Beasley looked bad yesterday, caused the pick 6, got hit in the head with the ball, got next to nothing fir yac bc he chose to fall down instead of run. I saw the lack of yac in the preseason and thought it might be preservation, I hope its not a sign of whats to come, if so, McKenzie needs to take his spot and he needs to be sent packing.

He was impressive, good adjustment to the ball on the TD and got through PI to catch it too. He had a good game, hope to see more of the same.

The win counts, but I am not saying this was a good game, when it was clearly a horrible performance from both offenses. I guess we could give the credit to the Bills O for actually scoring 25 points because Allen threw the touchdown to Mosley and Gore scored the safety, am I doing better now?

Sorry you can't handle the truth.

No, its that what you said is not hownthe real world works. You don't get to choose what you like, either you score or you don't. Moving the balls for 600 yards is nothing if you don't score. Call it "flukie" or whatever you want, but they coughed up the ball and couldn't finish. They managed 17 points for a whole game. That is what LOSES most games. Just because the Jets sucked more, doesn't mean you have a "great offense".

Great offenses score points, losers move the ball and dont get anything from it.

So by the OP's logic, the plays you don't like, dont count. Makes sense to me! I guess the fact that 0 points went on the board doesn't matter at all.

I saw him get some penetration, just didn't see him finishing plays, looked like he couldn't get off the blocks a lot if times. I have been looking back at the game and I see more if what he was doing in retrospect. Pretty good game, especially for the first one out of the gates. He certainly caused Darnold some headaches, even if they dont go down as anything in the stat sheet. Shaq seemed to benefit from him quite a bit and that was nice to see, also liked when they put Shaq inside and let him rush the passer, that might be a better place for him. Use him more like a JJ Watt, outside on early downs, scoot him inside and let him use his quickness and inline skills to get after the passer on passing downs. The two of them inside on passing situations should be a nightmare for teams.

He gets a C from me, that's only because of the win. He made some really terrible decisons that should have been turn overs, that crap wont fly in the real world. They should have been blown out, but the Jets couldn't do much of anything on O either. Good news is he managed to finish it off.

Wow, i thought he was pretty much invisible today. The tackle he made on the outside was pretty nice though. Guess I missed some. Shaq coming from the inside looks like he should be moved there permanently. He can't get home from the outside, but interesting in the middle.

And look who couldn't finish game 1.

Umm, what part of $30M guaranteed money was voided and he gets $9M guaranteed says to you it didn't cost him a cent? If he gets hurt or the Pats decide they don't want to deal with his ***** anymore, it will hurt more, but right now he's got 20M in limbo.

Awesome, wish the game was on in my area, thanks for sharing!

In fairness, you have to see what happens with Ferrell, we all think we know where guys will be drafted and are always wrong. If he turns into a stud, it was a great pick, if not, he looks pretty dumb.

I think Mayock had enough and played AB like a fiddle, using the public forum is brilliant, it eliminates the question of wrongly terminating his contract.

A few tears ago nobody could stop the Wildcat, it didn't last and neither will the stuff behind the LOS, NFL athletes are too fast and physical for it to work as a major part of the game. Theres a reason end arounds, flee flickers, hell even conventional screen plays aren't used much, they require a failure on the D and perfect execution and a playmaker all coming together for it to work. It's all well and good, but Andy Reid always starts off hot and his team ***** the bed around mid season and can't finish because trick bull ***** only works so long before teams expect the "unexpected". No, there are plenty of guys that run routes and catch the ball down field, outside of fly routes. He gets a lot of short pass, behind LOS, bubble screen stuff, he makes plays, as I said. He can be shut down and my bet is he will be this year. The good thing he has going is a lot of other threats around which makes it harder to focus on him.

And thats part of it, little guys rarely last.

Yeah, thats exactly what Im saying. Hill is a helluva playmaker, but a conventional WR he is not. A lot of yards came on gadget bull#### and crazy scrambles that broke defenses down by Maholmes. I'd take a bet he wont break 1000 yards this year, teams can plan for him AND he's buily like a school girl, he wont last.
