Exactly, we talked about this all season as a potential to bite us in the ass and unfortunately it did at the worst possible time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure looks spectacular if he makes a play, but extremely inconsistent and too easy to move out of gap. If correct hard for coaches to trust him when he's on the field.

Goalie Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Parker. Nichols Holm "insert DB here" Ford. Backup db like maybe rose for his experience? Not sure about LBs.. think biggie is back unless they release him (they wont) Definitely would be nice to add a Bennett that can play. DT is definitely a need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for a "I'd like to stay in TO" contract for Oakman as he has demonstrated that he still has a gear he can shift into where he can take over a game... but if not, then I am comfortable with his big-name being available as a decoy so we can re-sign the guy on our D-Line who gets no hype or press whatsoever but was very quietly one of the 10 best D-Linemen in the league.

You presumably mean Hendrix. IMO he's more like top 5, despite getting no all-star recognition. Must be re-signed.

If they hadn't had to play out of position earlier in the game and that last drive wouldn't have mattered. Maybe if Rose was on the roster, Parker wouldn't have come back in after being injured earlier. Maybe an extra DE on the roster has the Jeffs that much fresher to make a play earlier in the drive. Little things add up, especially in a one score game. Bigblue204 and Super Duper Negatron 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking at what, doubling his salary? I'm thinking AT LEAST a 50k increase. If Brady thinks his 1,500 plus yards is given for an NFL contract then he should think again. The market in the NFL for a slower, straight ahead power back isn't limitless. He won't write his own ticket. He'll be a second or third down situational back that are younger, just as powerful & have more speed. At best, I see him languishing on the PR of some team next season. Brady is good, don't get me wrong but every college team in the US have fullbacks like Brady. Booch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCoreBlue Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I hope BO proves everyone wrong, makes the NFL and not just as a 3rd stringer on the PR against all odds. Just like rooting for the guy. He's earned it. He'll obviously always have a home here if things take a different route.

NFL PR money is not steady income, most PR players get cut a few times, jump to different teams and repeat the process, they rarely get promoted to a game day roster for even a few games. Brady has the option of having a spectacular CFL career or a footnote NFL career. Edited November 24, 2023 by Fatty Liver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
