The only people who would vote against it are trolls. Brett was universally hated on Bear Report too. He's on like his 5th username because he cant help but be a **** who gets everything wrong and needs a fresh start to do it all over again.

I hate these types of people but sadly this is the majority of good content on this message board, especially when the team isn’t too good.

Besides just tearing up the thread and shit like the kids in my house..

I'd say, let @bears26 and @Dejo cook like Pinkman & White.

@DanielCCSBears , you out there bad.

Everyone else cool out, I'm excepting Gervon news, I want more from #trenches. thread is so fucked up I don't even know when the **** padded practice is.

Yeah i think line news is pointless rn imo without pads on. I’m excited to see where Pickens, Dexter, and Wright are. I think Lewis has been doing well against Wright. But that’s an OLB type edge against a OT that is adjusting to a slimmer weight. That could all change when pads come on.

I really struggle to imagine small changes that would help get the young RBs more money during their most productive years.

Get rid of the rookie salary cap

Get rid of the rookie salary cap

That's not a small change and we will return to the days of unproven first-round picks of all positions getting better contracts than proven veterans, which creates down stream issues for veteran players of all positions. I don't think that's hyperbolic but I'm willing to hear other opinions.

I'm not saying I oppose new ideas. I'm for the players getting whatever money they can. I think that a better way to express my thoughts here is that it may be time to reimagine the salary cap from top-to-bottom

Lots of fluff now too. Beyond that, the ability was never the question, it's the long term risk, both off the field and that he'll decide to just loaf a bit.

Very much this. Every teams TC reports are sky high at this point. I've heard only positive about every team, even Fat Mac Jones.

Packers/Jordan Love is the only heavily negative report I've seen thus far coming out of camps. You LOVE to see it.

Team may seriously be playing for their next QB and trying to fail.?

Oh I agree with most of that. However veterans are getting screwed over with this system because teams would rather bring in cheap talent on rookie contracts. They use that to strip their bargaining power.

but yeah the whole system needs to be redone. And it’s ridiculous the cba stays in effect so long. Roschon Johnson just entered the league and can’t vote on the cba until a few years after his rookie contract.

i've been thinking this for a while now.......definitely within the realm of possibility

 

[dabears70]

There’s a difference between Daniel making up lies to deflect from his shitty opinions and you admitting to disgusting acts that would have you executed in front your townsmen in a proper world.

Okay Jason Aldean.

You made up a lie about someone raping someone. That's as low as it gets and shows what kind of person you are. I'm under your thin skin so much that you have to make up a disgusting lie like that to think you're getting back at me. That's some sad ass shit.

 

[dabears70]

Gronk-Hernandez
Graham and Ben waston
any other good TE duo comes to mind?

Z.Ertz/D.Goedert

If you could take one of the two out of Fields and Lawrence with everything you know and have seen so far from them which one would you take?

I hate to say it but i'm taking Lawrence as of now but that answer could change halfway through this season.

If I had to pick today, it would be Fields. The ceiling is so fucking high. Will it work out, maybe, but I'd be willing to roll the dice.

Oh, I get it. They were saying he was a top 100 dancer, not player. Makes sense now.

What I don't like is splitting the players up into different pools of talent. Pitting rookie contracts v veteran contracts does nothing to solve the problem of RBs losing their value after their rookie contract.

It is far easier, and I think more productive, to start over and reimagine how to pay players equitably without dividing the people who we pay to watch.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

No, the definition of grasping at straws is thinking you will write something worth reading!

Oh my God what a brilliant comeback!

Oh my God what a brilliant comeback!

Still waiting on a link to your claims of someone saying "Roschon > Le'Veon Bell" before he's ever played an NFL game.
