Christian McCaffrey finally got to report to training camp. Top 10 pick on a white running back. He’s got pedigree and college stats but you gotta think he has a lot to prove at NFL level.
Can a contract be the best and worst at the same time. Like I get they had to do it and I really do think Carr is the 100% real deal and going to be a real franchise QB and is the focal point of turning a franchise thats been in the abyss for so long around but 25mil is bad for the whole league. I know Winston going to get paid and Mariota as well in 2 years but I don’t want them making 25 mill or even more. This is the fallout for other teams overpaying the mid-tier or worse QB’s like Tannehill, Flacco, Palmer, Freeli, Osweiner and while I am not saying he is terrible and IMO a good QB but the mishandling of Cousins by the Redskins.
You’re right that it’s due to fallout. It’s supply and demand, college football isn’t supplying enough quarterbacks that can cut it as pros. They come from gimmick systems that don’t work against professionals and they are often only a starter for a year or two. In the past college produced pro quarterbacks but programs are so focused on producing results and not fostering talent that the pro game is suffering.
Speaking of conditions Zach Orr has apparently got clearance from his doctors and been told his likely hood of dying is the same as any other player. He’s looking at returning and had a visit with the Detroit Lions scheduled
