Do you really think O'Shea is even remotely close to giving up on Nichols? 

I still say our best/most likely scenario would be for Nichols to start 2019 with Streveler backing up...then going into 2020 we offer Streveler starters $ (assuming he continues to progress) and hopefully keep Nichols around as a backup.

What has Streveler done to make Nichols replaceable?  The kid has looked good with limited reps but the proof is in how does he look after teams have a decent amount of film in him.

 

Certainly you want to keep him around and he is worthy of being excited and optimistic but he’s likely a ways a way from replacing a legit starter in Nichols.

For $600,000 per annum?

You pay what you have to when the rare opportunity arises to acquire the best player in the league. He probably doesn’t sign but you need to take a shot.

It's advisable to read a post before commenting on it. I said "assuming he continues to progress". 

Streveler will still be young in 2020, while Nichols will be 33. 33 isn't old for a QB nessasarily, but again, Nichols is no BLM or Reilly.

I bet it was worth it..

I don't get why he was fined. Peter says bring it. Duke brings it and trucks Peters. Just another football play IMO.

I kind of agree with that sentiment, but the League said it was a blow to the head..

Sometimes the fine is worth it😎

Headline - Cameron Judge Benefits From Sam Hurl’s Tutelage

Cameron Judge:

“I ask him or get some pointers from him while we’re watching film. He has been really helpful for me this year.”

Gaining more playing time in 2018, @CameronJudge has a strong LB mentor in @SamHurl.

Sam Hurl..”Do you see what I did there? Well, don’t do that” Or

                  “Do you see what I did there?   “That’s exactly the right technique, but you have to do it a hell of a lot faster”              

                     “Do you see what I did there?   ”That’s called the chase mode. Always be prepared to follow that ball carrier closely”

Agreed... they definitely only did it because the video went viral.

Kind of a pointless thing to say as that can be said about any QB...Any player really...and yes if he continues to develop and learn and work on things there is no reason he can't push to be the starter in a year or two...his skill set and his intelligence is what have many in the league very impressed and give reason to think he could be very successfull...every top QB in the league starts somewhere, and the ones with the noodle arms...no ability to read a defense and think qickly and run like they have snowshoes on..well they don't get much hype

Looking at it again, it looked like they may have hit helmet to helmet... pretty wicked hit either way.

Do you think that step-children who go missing have their pictures put on cartons of half and half?

I had a female member of my extended family go missing in Winnipeg roughly a year or so ago.  Then found murdered.

So sorry to hear that.  That is absolutely terrible.  My condolences.

There are few words of comfort for family in cases like these. We are given memory that we might have roses in winter.
