Most of you are far better attuned to salary cap stuff than I am, so the first question deals with that, namely, does the availability of Philip Rivers change any of the thinking on Dak? That is, is there any scenario in which paying Rivers in the short term while looking to draft a QB in the long term ---then letting Dak go---make sense?
The second is Blake Jarwin. The knock I constantly hear on him is he doesn't block as well as Witten or doesn't block well at all. It seems there isn't much question that he is a playmaker with the ball and has real talent as a WR. So my question is, have any of you seen film or closely looked at his blocking? Is he that bad? Is he getting mauled? Whiffing? Poor technique? I once heard that blocking by a FB or WR is all about will (I think Michael Irvin said that), that anyone could block if they put their mind to it.
Is Jarwin worth committing to as a #1 TE and get him to block?
Keep Dak. Phillip Rivers is old and awful. I watched quite a few of his games last year and he just tosses the ball deep and hopes his WRs can make plays. Results = interception. Also, he is a statue. Has the mobility of an old Drew Bledsoe. Not to mention his constant whining on the sideline is annoying.
I have not paid much attention to Jarwin's blocking. We don't have to commit much since he is a restricted free agent. We can slap him with a 2nd round tender and look around for someone better.
