"Well if it's true that Larry Dean got paid 210 last year and 110 this year, then I'd suggest they are doing it by cheating"

😅

I mean, this is the team that has been CAUGHT cheating! Over the cap... hiding players... etc. 

They also talk about how much players love playing there and can easily get side gigs. 

Get lost already.

When you bring back Josiah St.John  as a major free agent signing, you ain't crushing it. You've been crushed.

I was curious after reading some reactions here about the reactions on RF, so I went for a look...

 

I regret that. Every once and a while, I believe that they can be rational and logical on the green side but am proven incorrect rather quickly. They're just loopy on RF.

A few, near the beginning of the thread were dissing the signing but eventually, everyone talked themselves into it. "He played well in the last few games he played here before leaving..." "Solid depth signing..." "He's bounced around so hasn't settled... He'll fit in here..."

Shocked that they all agree it was a great move.

 

The JSJ signing is just nonsensical really. The guy is a bust. I can't fathom how a team with such little NAT OL strength or depth could allow what little they had to get raided. 

I'm now waiting for their next big splash...Faith Ekakitie.

Could have signed in two months and wouldn't have garnered the attention it is. But, instead, they do it when everyone is looking. He'll be gone in June.

To me McGuire has a similar skillset to Colloras and Im glad that he's going to be learning under him this year rather than Matt Nichols. We want our QB's to aspire to be more than a game manager.

One of my peeves about LaPolice and whoever was making the decisions about this sort of thing is that over the past couple of years, there were plenty of occasions when the game was decided, it was a no-brainer to put Streveler in the game with more than 90 seconds left. That would have accelerated his development and likely prevented some of the problems when he had to go in last season. I hope that McGuire does not suffer the same fate.

I agree but ill bet it was MOS who made those decisions. Stubborn with his vets and all.

He's the definition of a replacement level player. You wouldn't do worse with the next best free agent Ni ol on the market at any given time. 

McGuire looked decent in pre season last year,  definitely looked more like a traditional QB.  I wouldn't say he's like Zach though.  Not as elusive/mobile.

Agree. I think it was O'Shea too. However, the club made a lot of the changes it had to make to win last season so that gives me hope that the stubborn one is no longer stubborn to the point of hurting the team's chances to win and/or develop it's players. For example, replacing Hecht with Alexander. Had O'Shea not made that change do we run the table as we did? Doubtful. I think O'Shea made a quantum leap in maturity as a head coach last season.

No worries - Fajardo still has Clarke to hug him after hitting goalposts.

Yea..It was the first time all game Clarke managed to get his hands around someone. The rest of the day he was just waving his arms as players ran by him.

I agree. It seemed like last year MOS was much more open to making changes than in the past.

I think it’s more people,noticed the changes more. You don’t notice it when it does not get the ultimate result.

Don’t know about that, man.  We used to have some pretty awful DBs that started about half a dozen games before they were benched.

Sometimes it was about 4 games more that it should....

Not a huge fan of this signing. Sam lb isn’t a hard position to scout for. Guy is a bit of a reckless player, and where does it leave us on walker then.

Are you referring to Awe? He is not SAM. He plays the MIKE.

Hope the club isn’t considering trading Biggie so they can use his money to bring in Walker. That would be a huge a mistake.
