NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Agreed but a guy like Williams has to get to that 2nd contract as soon as possible to get the big payday.

1 extra year ain't gonna prevent that. If he's as good as expected? He will land that big deal.

One year can make all the difference if he gets hurt

One year can make all the difference if he gets hurt

You can say that for any player...

You can say that for any player...

But not every player has that much to lose

That's what makes it interesting. Where a player, especially a QB, ends up makes a world of difference on whether they can get a huge payday on that 2nd deal.

Do they go to the NFL at the 1st opportunity even if they don't think they're going to a good situation just to get to the 2nd contract faster? Or do they delay it a year to potentially go to a better situation?

Also, not that he's about personal accolades, but if Caleb wins the Heisman again...he'd have to at least consider the possibility of winning a 3rd.

 

[trojanfan12]

Would make sense. Like TJ12 said with NIL not all these players have to go to the pros ASAP.

Not when they have a family that isn't broke and they making money in college. Return and get an insurance policy against injury....

That's what Leinart did when he decided to return to USC. His family got him a huge insurance policy.

Yep. I remember that.

His Dad is a piece of work, will be interesting

He is having a crazy good season....better than last year.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Caleb lol.
Have you not heard Payton speak about him last year?

Wilson has $85M in dead cap starting next year. Sit Wilson? Denver put themselves in this hole

 

[Shanemansj13]

7 teams are 1-4 or worse currently:

0-5 Carolina (to Chicago)
1-5 Denver
1-4 Arizona
1-4 Chicago
1-4 Minnesota
1-4 New England
1-4 NY Giants

Chicago is set up nicely if they decide to give up on Fields

Not so easy to move on from him...

 

[Shanemansj13]

That would be basically more than double what ATL took for the Ryan dead cap. I don't think trading him is an option unless there is some loophole. They don't have an out until after the 2025 season

We've covered this territory already. Football is an emotional game. This is absolutely gutting this team.

You've offered your irrational, emotional, baseless opinion, sure.

This is a QB with an injured shoulder. He's missing some games. It's happened in the NFL. Rest is drama that so many live for making the job for the media so easy.

 

[dtgold88]

Either he is soft or the browns are hiding information

It's neither...the Browns have disclosed his injury. Rest is just drama.

“It really comes down to comes down to the amount of pain he’s having and how much that pain affects his ability to throw, and his strength in his arm, which affects his accuracy. Obviously a quarterback is going to feel that injury more than anybody else with his throwing shoulder. So it’s probably going to be somewhere from 2 to 6 weeks depending on how well he can perform," said Clint Soppe, M.D., orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan Jobe Institute in Los Angeles, who hasn’t treated Watson and spoke in general terms

 

[dtgold88]

if the injury was worse than why clear him and not just say so. Day to day for damn near 3 weeks. If he was truly badly injured then it would make more sense to IR him and let the team focus on the players that can make the field.

They are saying so......they clear him because he cannot get worse and they say he has to be able to throw. You think you know how hurt he is and also how well he can throw, as well as more than docs/surgeons without an agenda.

If he goes to IR then it's, "what!!?? He's not even going to try and give it a go? what a pussy."

 

[dtgold88]

I was thinking on it and I know the difference. (I think)

This dude is steady wearing that damn knit hat even when it's 80 degrees out. He's been in South Carolina and Houston before this. Now... obviously he's had road games in cold weather but this Sunday is like 50.

I guarantee this dude would be playing if it was 75 this weekend. He didn't start up again until the weather was shit last year... and his play was ass

Or if he didn't have an injury that can take up to 6 weeks to heal.....and you didn't have an anti watson agenda. Weather could not have been much better the last game and he sat, but sure.

 

[dtgold88]

Ended with 3 receptions for 14 yards.

Didn't see it but heard there was a major clock management gaffe end of half. Assumed Reid but it was Payton?

 

[dtgold88]

Glory over smart play. Happens all the time unfortunately.

so true...another that annoys me is when a guy gets the game ending INT and instead of falling runs through traffic with it.

 

[dtgold88]

I tend to think it was bad coaching not to teach that in that moment.

That's something coaches at all levels have likely drilled into them. Hell, Boomer and Tom Jackson have been telling them this for years.
