Randomguy Posted March 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2022 So wth has gotten into the Jaguars? I can't believe they signed Christian Kirk to a HUGE contract (4 years, $80m+) for a guy that has never really come close to breaking 1,000 yards in his 4 seasons in AZ.

Ok, why did the Steelers offer Haskins $2.54m for the season? They have a new presumptive starter and dent-head already. Unless they want to dump dent-head, that guy is a load of manure, although Haskins hasn't showed much, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a bad number for a QB2 but high for a QB3. Maybe Mason is gone. Maybe they had seen something in Haskins. I guessing there is big upside there if you can get him past is immaturity. I suspect they dump Mason and draft a QB for the future.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 15, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2022 Chargers made several moves to anchor their D with Mack, Sebastian Joseph Day & the CB who’s name escapes me. Many believe they are winning free agency at this point. My Rams locked up two back up O Lineman who did start at times and their starting center but lost one starting O lineman. If Whitworth comes back it should be a formidable line. If not it will still be solid but lacking depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted March 18, 2022 The weirdness continues. As if the Baker Mayfield/Deshaun Watson thing wasn't weird enough, Davante Adams was traded to the Raiders for picks #22 and #53, which is an absolute steal to get the guy. What is also an absolute steal for the player is that the Raiders then gave Devante Adams $28.25m/yr, which seems a crippling amount for a non-quarterback. That is colossal money for just one guy. That division was stacked before, then Wilson comes to the Donkeys in trade, and now Adams to the Raiders. To top it off, the AFC is a far stronger division than the NFC, it isn't even close now.

While I don't disagree with you on the weirdness, your comment about the AFC being far stronger isn't supported by fact. The SB Champions would disagree with you as do the Inter-conference records.

ChrisL Posted March 18, 2022 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2022 Hey @BuffJim how do you feel about the Bills signing Von Miller? Six years seems like a long time but I’m guessing the deal is worked so they could waive him and not take too much of a cap hit. He was great for the Rams play off run but I didn’t think we could keep him long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things didn't work out at the Superbowl, but the Bengals were lucky enough to be in the game, they lingered long into it because the Rams were so sloppy in a lot of the game. That said, The Bills and the Chiefs were the two strongest teams in the NFL last year (but you gotta win in the playoffs). Will be the same this year, too, but other teams have already strengthened key areas. Rams are losing some folks, 49'ers are a bit overrated, Green Bay has no one to catch the ball, TB can't keep nearly everyone. Seems the AFC teams are adding, and NFC teams are bleeding established players to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Day and The CB Williams I don’t think will be missed as we are stacked with depth on defense line & backfield. The RB we got from the Pats who’s name escapes me was an injury replacement. Looks like the Rams also signed a FA WR too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discussed this before but the Rams do seem to be a good home for disgruntled players. I think the Rams can make a deep playoff run with the players currently on the roster. They don’t have glaring needs but an injury or two can wreak havoc on certain position groups like O Line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players may surprise by a change of location. Haskins was stuck in awful Washington initially and the Steelers have had a year to judge his potential and they've shown they know what they're doing in general. Trubisky is also a guy who played for an awful offense. Maybe the Steelers think he's better than he's looked. Over half a century ago, it cost the Baltimore Colts a 15 cent long-distance phone call to get the Steelers to send them one of their QB's who was so bad the fans called him Fumbleitis. But under Coach Weeb Eubank, Johnny Unitas became one of the greatest QB's of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted March 19, 2022 Share #36 Posted March 19, 2022 Jonny Unitas was cut by the Steelers early on as a rookie in favor of a guy named Ted Marchibroda. He was in camp but never made a roster. Jonny was working construction and playing semi-pro football when the Colts gave him a tryout. My HS football coach played HS football with Unitas. My coach was the backup QB to Unitas and Unitas was his holder for extra points a field goals. Ted Marchibroda is from Franklin, PA, not far from LongJohn's place. A girl I dated from Rocky Grove (suburb of Franklin), her mother dated Ted in HS. Lots of great QBs from the Allegheny valley. Unitas was one of the first. Ted is about as far north as you could get in the valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
