Super Duper Negatron Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 13 minutes ago, Mike said: I’m going to try and be self-aware with this because I know I prefer Schoen over Brady myself, but I did have a conversation with my dad the other day where he made a very good point: we’ve never played Schoenball in the 4th Q to seal a win. We’ve made a habit of playing Bradyball. That stuff does matter and I don’t think I had really considered that until he said it. Conversely we had Brady in the Grey Cup but.you could reaaaaallly feel the absence of a healthy Schoen. blue85gold, Bigblue204, Bubba Zanetti and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 1 minute ago, Mike said: I really think there’s a notable absence of negotiations being held with the top receivers and I’m guessing it’s because everyone has realized paying 300k to a Lawler or Lewis doesn’t mean anything if you suck at QB. My gut tells me right now that Schoen may have been hoping for an offer from Ottawa to go play with Dru, but now that it’s probably not coming, he’ll be back here at 260k-ish Hopefully.

Plus if the D got one stop, we win. you're absolutely correct... but not the can of worms we need to open now... Let's celebrate Brady signing! My hope of the dollars aren't too high... but otherwise I already love everything else about this signing. EDIT: I see the dollars are perhaps a little too high... assuming Farhan is accurate... I don't love that part of it Edited February 6 by bearpants rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be upset about the money but as long as we didn’t overspend (which I don’t think we did, it’s exactly what Harris used to make) then it is what it is, they obviously had their number to make it work as we’ve all been saying and this fit.

Will wait and see the hard/soft numbers eventually. I hope with Brady back that we commit to splitting Carries and use him wisely. Use a di change of pace back for 7/8 touches a game and don’t have 90% of our runs in the first 6 minutes and last 10. rebusrankin, blue85gold, BomberBall and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 wayy too much....not happy with that turn of events...He better put up 1800 yards and over 500 receiving and solve the fumbles for that....back up the re-setting the market narrative and earn your bags JCon, Rex_Banner, Noeller and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue85gold Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Love Brady as a player. Don't love the price but it is what it is. Strev and BO should be able to run away with a lot of games. Hope Schoen can still be brought back. He's a real special player. wbbfan, rebusrankin and MOBomberFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 3 minutes ago, Geebrr said: True - but Bradyball works better when you have a lead. That comes after Schoen racking up TDs. I love Brady, I’m glad he is back - he is the best RB in the league. However, giving him bank is not high on my priority list. I think it was the WF game against BC, on the opening drive they fed Brady 10 times consecutively marching the ball 70 yds. for a TD, that was the most definitive statement of Bradyball. ddanger, Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
