The point is (which you are totally missing) is that 25 million is obscene money for a backup that didn't do anything. Businesses are failing , families can't make ends meet...but a backup hardly used QB makes 25 million. Does that make sense to you?

You are worth what someone is willing to pay.

If we bring him back it won't be for (and it was 20 mill not 25). It probably will be around 10 Mill for 1 year which is reasonable.

Yes, I don’t get the hate. He is one of best backups in the league, he is well respected amongst players and staff, he is great role model outside the organization. He is not our franchise QB. If, a big if, he is re-signed it will not be for that $$. Plus he took his benching in stride and did everything asked of him. He is one of my favorite players on the team

I agree. He is a awesome teammate, is he worth 20 Mill a year, no he isn't that I will say. Having said that, 10 Mill for 1 year I can see which is still great backup money. We might bring him and Rivers back for cheaper which I would be fine with. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs with those 2 and darn near beat the Bills.

What is disingenuous?

The constant talking of how special of a player Brissett is, and even the apology by Ballard in regards to when he said "the jury is still out on Brissett". He said that was a crappy choice of words, when it was not, because his actions backed the sentiment up by signing another qb and relegating Brissett to the bench. Unless he meant they were a crappy choice of words because he had decided Brissett is nothing but a backup QB, but I doubt that. 

 

Saying he is a special player (which I am pretty sure, I have heard numerous times) seems disingenuous because their actions ultimately don't back that sentiment up. 

 

Or maybe they mean he is a special backup, which would, actually, make sense. I just have never heard of a backup QB be talked about so highly.

I guess you never heard of Gary Kubiak or Frank Reich

   They made the careers being excellent backups

So you don't see anything wrong with a backup making a million dollars per snap?

Not really.   It isn't my money.   Also,  he wasn't the backup when he signed the contract.   He also runs the scout team in practice,   works with the coaches during the week and stays ready to play.   I get you're jealous.  You gotta let it go

Ever heard Sean Payton talk about Taysom Hill?

I was only a few years old when Frank Reich was in the league. I know how he is talked about now, and I know he is famous for his great comeback against the Oilers, of which the praise for that game is absolutely warranted.

Oh..i didn't realize he did all that! He's underpaid for sure.

    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
    • I just saw Pittman's "Reception Perception" charts... so here it goes:
