Wow...

Maybe he's tired of Baltimore...?

It must be the guaranteed money. Browns fucked up the game with the guaranteed money they gave Watson

People have to also take into consideration there was an open competition for his services. This is not the case with Lamar. Perhaps that is his goal ultimately but the Ravens can franchise him anyway. We'd be at minimum 2 years from that happening.

That said yes the Browns wildly overpaid. But I also put better odds on Watson still being a starting pro bowl caliber qb in the league 6 years from now as opposed to Lamar.

I'd think it would have to be.

I doubt he's expecting a fully guaranteed contract, but damn, that's less than half guaranteed.

Unrelated topic for a second. It's gonna be weird seeing Wilson in his Broncos uni in Seattle tomorrow night.

I hope the crown appreciates the good times and gives him a nice ovation.

Wow. I think he’s misread the market. This is a solid deal for him. Maybe you can squabble with more guaranteed dollars (maybe in the 175-180 range) but overall, I think that’s a fair deal for who he is.

What happened to N.D. yesterday? I really want Freeman to succeed in South Bend but he's off to a very rough start.

They did but as long as other teams don’t blink it won’t matter much.

Game Thread: - DJ's lead pipe locks

This is the debut of DJ's lead pipe locks, betting degenerates!!!!! Panthers vs Browns Former Brown Baker Mayfield has been talking trash and he's motivated to play well this weekend. Lot of storylines here. The Browns are starting Brissett at QB. Take the Panthers straight up. Dolphins vs...

sportshoop.la

Doing it all season!!!!

Many things:
1. The OL is underperforming. ND media was all hyped up over bringing back Harry Hiestand as OL coach. He was here under Kelly. He did a nice job developing guys for the NFL but I always thought he was overrated. His OLs were way too soft for my liking and when they needed to perform against elite people they could never run the ball. His OL is blowing assignments. They’re getting little movement. Against an elite opponent like OSU some of that is to be expected. Against Marshall? Unacceptable. This is number one because it makes the other issues larger.
2. They don’t have a QB on campus that is ready to compete. There was much hope for Buchner but he looks limited. He had three huge plays available to be made yesterday down field and he missed on all of them.
3. Relatively young coaching staff in Freeman and Rees and right now they’re getting their ass kicked and they’re getting out coached. This one should have been anticipated. There’s absolutely a learning curve. Some will point out that Rees has been OC for a little bit. He has but BK was highly involved and now the training wheels are off. I think these guys will figure it out but this season is lost in terms of expectations. As an independent, ND has nothing left to play for except pride. That’s a difficult task for any coach to keep a team involved and motivated when that happens. Even tougher for coaches learning on the fly, trying to find their way.

ND has a ton of issues.

Thanks for the breakdown. Didn't realize it was this bad though. Freeman might be one & done if he can't get going in the right direction. I didn't see the game. But was completely shocked when I saw the final score.

Hope for all you GoldenDomer's the season ends better than it has started.

Can't accept a deal where less than half of the money is guaranteed

Your Chiefs are damn lucky they don't play the Browns this season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

9/11.....never forget.

Sorry, @trojanfan12 don't ban me.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No fucking way. Not when it's less than Murray.....or a declining RW.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Jackson is new fave non Raider player.....love his personality and the fun he's having with the media about the contract. A lot of superstars would get all irritable and indignant.....he doesn't. He has fun with it and doesn't shy away from the questions.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I would absolutely love if the Ravens went out and got an elite WR.....imagine if Jackson had somebody like Hill or AJ Brown to throw to?

People would start to respect him as a passer.

Whatever you say, WiggityWack...
