Sounds like Steele is on the hot seat

[Relayer]

Hint - it's the quarterback

When a guy has a top 5 performance but he's not a top 5 QB, I'm giving some credit to the guys around him.

dumb post
QBs get hurt a last faster and a lot worse with a bad Iine

And some are injury prone.

 

[HungryLion]

agree.

Jerry has an ego.

It’s difficult for him to admit a mistake.

It’s been a better off season than prior ones. But yeah. Some players they just can’t let go

 

[Relayer]

I LOVE HIM BEING transparent!! I could see Jason Garrett right now saying something totally different, saying how much of a great player is and how much he's valued going forward

Garrett is a pretty low bar.

Or we can just leave hateful and/or myopic agendas behind and accept a QB with a top five performance is actually a top five QB.

Hareful? And what, accept the narrative you are pushing? He had a real good year last year. Circumstances and personnel contributed.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Steele's $ is guaranteed this year. He could play blindfolded and not lose his job, unfortunately.

Maybe he should try that.

 

[Xizor]

Complain about the pick if you don't like it but not the strategy.

I'm sorry what? I like the pick and was actually defending Lawrence. Not understaning your point here.

 

[RonWashington]

Rasheed Walker ex Packer signed with Carolina for 3.2 guaranteed $ would have looked good as the LT moving Guyton to the right side to compete with Steele for a small investment . Keep Hoffman forget Hennessy and drafting Shelton is a question mark at the moment .

I don’t see based on last year how you go into 26 with no real competition at RT .

and built the best OL we've had since forever,,, this one we've got now is barely serviceable,,, maybe,,, and maybe not

 

[Kwyn]

This is certainly not much of an endorsement

It really doesn’t matter at the end of the day because aren’t really any good options that wouldn’t cost too much in either draft picks or cap room.

We also can’t do anything about him because we just have him another $30m.

The writing is on the wall

And this sounds alot like Matthew Stafford. No playoff wins for his first 12 years in the league, no top 5 rankings in those 12 years, then he goes to a Rams team who were already built to win a Superbowl and then Stafford shines.

The year the Rams went to the Superbowl with Stafford, he led the league in interceptions.... interesting. So according to what you've perfectly stated, along with the evidence I've placed before you, all the credit has to go to all the guys around him in L.A., I assume.

To conclude, Dak has been top 10, every season he has completed healthy.

I'll leave you with this. ALL quarterbacks can only succeed because of the guys around him. Mahomes OR Brady have to credit the guys around them. So if that goes for the two greatest quarterbacks to have ever lived, then best believe that goes for every other quarterback who has ever played, currently playing, or will play in the future.

Quarterbacks don't win games, teams do.

Has Bass ever played OT? In my recollection he has only ever backed up interior OL

Yes in college. Just throwing spaghettis against the wall here, just thinking of how to get our best 5 OL people out there.

 

[fivetwos]

They did back in March.

He had 3 years for around 48 million left on his deal with almost no guaranteed money left. He was going to get cut at that price and nobody would sign him for that high.

They revised it to 3 years 33 million but made basically 2 of those years guaranteed as a result.

Front office had a similar situation for Tank Lawrence a few years back. Lawrence had 2 years 40 million but none of it guaranteed so they ended up revising it to 3 years 40 million but guaranteeing 2 of the years.

Thanks….

The fact that I’ve gotta look at him for another two years is disappointing. The fact that he has apparently decided that he is now all set and can mail it in is disturbing.

 

[BlindFaith]

It’s not these videos. It’s the prior 6 seasons of poor pass blocking.

Poor means he cant do it. Clearly he can.

Inconsistent is a word Id use. Or as Adams put it "up and down".

 

[tromofan]

With all the problem areas last year, you knew something wasn’t going to be addressed. Well, here we are.

 

[Sydla]

They love Steele. Always have. I don’t get it but that seems to be the case.

Agreed.

Which is why they chose the option of restructuring his deal rather than flat out cut him.

A poor choice IMO. Shotty is basically calling him out, which is clearly not a good sign.

 

[Sydla]

Wait…did they restructure him for cap room?? Please say no.

They did.

They could have designated him a June 1 cut and saved on the cap but, since they apparently still think he can play, decided to restructure his deal where they lowered his remaining base salaries but then converted a portion of it to a bonus and spread it out over the next 3-4 years. Which means that while we lowered his cap hit going forward, we are tied to him until at least 2027 (I think a June 1 cut saves us a tiny bit of change) but likely 2028.

Another Jerry screw up.

 

[stiletto]

Schotty better be careful calling out Jerry's "Boo-Boo's". LOL
