His weakness is managing the cap. If he gets a good capologist, he could do get that team on the right track. Providing he ousts Jackson and the coaching staff.

As I said in the NFL News forum, I personally disagree. I think he tends to overdraft players. Dee Ford was a 2nd/3rd rd talent that he took in the 1st rd. That Tanoh Kpassagnon guy he took this year was a 5th rd/6th rd talent that he took in the 2nd. And while some of the players that he drafts tend to be okay players, they aren't game-changing players, outside of Kelce. I think he manages the draft very poorly and the Chiefs will pay the price for it here in the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how accurate that is, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey and Jackson have never worked together, and come from 2 different philosophical trees. It may work, but the odds are that it won't. About the only thing they have in common is that Jackson went to Dorsey High in LA (and Hue worked for John Harbaugh for 2 years, who had worked for Andy Reid).

SemperFeist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I still don’t expect Jackson to be retained. It felt like a comment from the owner to try and minimize the chaos within the organization. Dorsey should get enough of a look over the next four weeks to make a good decision. And if Jackson goes 0-16, or 1-15 again, there’s no possible way you can bring him back. It would be a disaster in the locker room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jackson gets fired after going 1-31 over two years, is there any other competition for all-time worst HC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The NFL projects the 2018 salary cap to fall somewhere between $174.2 million and $178.1 million for next year, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. The league will reveal the exact number before free agency begins in the spring. It will mark the fourth consecutive year the salary cap has increased. This year’s salary cap is $167 million. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/12/report-2018-salary-cap-projects-somewhere-between-174-2-million-to-178-1-million/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Muhammad Wilkerson was a healthy scratch, and given his monstrous contract, I can't see him back with the Jets next year. Seeing him on the DL with Griffen, Joseph and Hunter would be AWESOME. I'm sure Zimmer could whip him into shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I wouldn’t want a guy like that in the locker room. If you can’t motivate yourself to play, and give your best effort week in and week out, I’d want nothing to do with you. It’s not a coincidence that his play fell off after he signed his $86M contract. Edited December 16, 2017 by SemperFeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
