More great stuff from NFL films, this time taking a look at Tom Moore. Some really fun stuff in here from Peyton on that Colts era with Tom. “Just run whatever the **** you and Marvin have been working on.” 🤣 -
I don't know whether he's declining. It's possible, but what I see is him being patient because our run blocking scheme has a lot of moving parts. And the blocking isn't always performing as designed, nor are they winning their assignments consistently enough. I still see JT making defenders miss, explosive jump cuts, etc. We've seen him get in the open a couple times this year, and he still looks like he has the long speed. There just hasn't been a lot of room for him to get going. Regarding being a marginal pass catcher, I guess my question is whether there's a better option on the roster. I don't think any of our other backs are better than JT at any of the RB responsibilities, so who are they taking him off the field for? In fact, our primary pass catchers aren't catching the ball at the level we need them to, so singling out JT and his two drops from earlier in the season seems convenient. He just made a nice catch on a difficult ball against the Pats. The idea that his hands are deficient just doesn't track for me. No, he's not the best pass catcher in the world, nor is he the best blocker, but I don't think he should be iced in the second half, and that's happened multiple times this season. -

Like I said, it’s just a fun topic but imagine if people were paid a lower base salary, but they were debited or credited based upon their play. That’s what I’m talking about. There is no way this would never fly with the players association, but I wish every major league sport would do something like this. He would lower the cost dramatically and you would seem much much better play. -
The union would never approve this -

I think your head is in the right place, but this has already been done. in 2010, the first overall pick, San Bradford, QB from Oklahoma, received a 6 year contract worth $78 mill with $50 mill guaranteed. Owners and the NFLPA hammered out a new rookie wage scale in the off season with every rookie slot had a specific dollar value. Veteran players were tired of rookies coming in and getting much bigger deals than the vets. It was poison in the locker room. In 2011, Cam Newton received a deal of 4 years $22mill. All of it guaranteed. In 2012, Andrew Luck received a 4 year deal worth $23 mill — $1 mill more. All guaranteed. And every year the first pick goes up $1 mill more. And every pick is slotted. No more holdouts. So this has been going on since 2011. If it’s been tweaked or updated since then, and it may have, I’m unaware of the new details. But it has been a hit with the players. It has out locker rooms in balance.
