BroncoBruin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don't know if anyone watches OU much, but for as much of an offensive genius as Lincoln Riley is, he is puzzlingly bad at managing end of half situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRNA Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Looks like the Ravens are going to let Harbaugh go. We should go all in for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 So how did Todd Haley move from the OC of the Steelers to the OC of the Browns? Whatever, seems to be working out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bMiller031 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 What do we expect Baltimore will do with Flacco after this year? Release him and eat the dead $? Having Jackson there + a new coaching staff could spell the end for Flacco in BAL, I'd think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release him and eat the dead $? Having Jackson there + a new coaching staff could spell the end for Flacco in BAL, I'd think... He’d save 10M but carry 16M dead weight if they cut him right away. They could delay the cap hit to 8M in 2020 if they designated him a post-June 1 cut. I think the Ravens drafted Lamar knowing he’d need at least 1 year of grooming and maybe 2. So they’d have 3 cheap years worst case. I suspect Lamar’s performance if he starts dictates the outcome. After going back and forth at draft time, I sided with @champ11 & others that barring injury he can work out as a franchise QB - but like Allen, he needs at least 1 full year and very possibly 2 before he’s ready to succeed (why he wasn’t in the convo for us Rd1 and rightfully so). The tools are there. Just needs a lot more work, was painfully obvious against preseason vanilla D’s. It will be fun to see how he’s progressing now.

To be fair, BAL lost both their starting T's, that's going to hurt any team. But he's been awful of late. Still, I think Lamar needs more time to succeed - it was pretty tough watching him struggle against vanilla preseason D's. Now, his athletic ability will help him. And he's an actual thrower, not a running guy who happens to throw, so I think he's got a ton of potential. Good ball placement, accuracy and velocity, and can make those tight window throws. The real issue is that his weaknesses made him really far away from starting. Read-progression, D recognition and having eyes up when he moves around in the pocket were the 3 points that were painfully absent before. Those take time, but I'm sure he's been getting a ton of work. Starting Week 1 2019 would be surprising, but at least now he can show the Ravens how far he's progressed - as soon as BAL was eliminated, I'd have bet we'd would have been hearing the whispers to let him start - this injury, if it puts Flacco on the bench, at least it will give BAL a look to see how far Lamar has progressed since the preseason. I'll enjoy watching either way. Edited November 14, 2018 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the problem - we have sunk 21M into Keenum for 2019 and 10M dead money. Could we sign Tanny for 11M or less and not add to our QB budget with a Keenum cut? Bradford was the one worse FA signing (but only 1 year) that cost ARI 16M. The other stopgaps signed for 10M or less. The issue is in 2018 there were 6 QB FA’s who could stopgap (and 1 elite guy in Cousins among them). This year it’s Teddy B and whoever gets released. The cost of getting a stopgap doesn’t seem bargain friendly. So it’s hard to see Tanny go that cheaply. Then it becomes a Q of how much Elway wants to invest at stopgap QB. That seems iffy if it’s not a long term solution. So the cap hit and Keenum dead $ makes it less likely unless a bargain signing is possible. Which seems unlikely.

AKRNA Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just a thought but possibly Elways looking at the 2020 crop of FA's Big Ben, Brees and Rivers. It'd give him another year to build a stronger team and get some cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well outside of NYG, TB, Jax (tight cap anyways) and maybe Oakland who is going to be in the market for Tannehill? Not to mention outside of Jacksonville none of those teams are in a compete now mindset so will more than likely go after a QB in the draft if they’re to take one. Speaking if TB, would Winston be an option if he’s not extended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
