OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[amfootball]

How ironic that a thread on the main form was started on Vea criticizing the bucs when Bill literally made Wilfork the highest paid DT in the game. LOL

The sensitivity to what the bucs are doing is really off the charts. God forbid Brady gets to keep the best DT in the game.

Didn't look too bad to me. I'm not sure he's the best DT in the game either but great signing.

I hated when Welker left. He got less money in his 2 years in Denver than his last 2 years with the Pats. So why did he leave? Did BB not even try to make a competitive offer?

Welker wasn't a good fit in Denver. Manning couldn't use slot receivers like Brady. For one, he didn't have nearly the same velocity especially on short throws up the middle.

Welker's stats went down big time and the concussion he suffered shortened his career and reduced his production.

He was so close to being a HOF. He would have had it if he had stayed.

Didn't BB let Welker check the market and then replace him while he was looking around? I forget exactly how it all came down. No matter what though it was pretty clear that Welker wasn't a favorite of BB's.

And JE11 although may not be as good as welker was the ultimate clutch and tough player. He was one of the best players of dynasty 2.0 so I think BB knew what he was doing or he got lucky but either way he made the right decision.

Wilfork was once the highest paid DT in the game? I didn't realize that. That doesn't sound like Bill.

I don't know why there's a rift between Pats fans but it's a feeding frenzy for the trolls.

JE ended up being better than Welker IMHO. He had a knack for finding and getting to the open spaces, even when he appeared to be locked in he could squirrel his way through. And there was no tougher player than JE. It was the right choice for sure.

I think the difference between the JE and WW situations is that Jules still had a job here after he tested the market. WW did not.

Combine WW’s regular season stats with JE’s postseason stats and you have a first ballot HoFer.

He was the highest paid NT when he signed.

The OP is a legendary homer.

Did the Vita Vea deal open up cap space next year?

I figured. Lol

Yes.

 

[VectorPrime]

Yes.

How much?

 

[Deus Irae]

Did the Vita Vea deal open up cap space next year?

As far as I've seen, it's a straight extension, so nothing would happen with next year's numbers. But we don't have the final details yet.

 

[Tottie]

Going to be a fun day of football to keep track of all the possible scenarios!

 

[Tottie]

Looks like Rodgers again throws it from the 1 after the RB runs it up there.

 

[amfootball]

How much?

Don't know but one article I read said it will provide cap savings. I think when the actual details come out we'll know more.

 

[Tottie]

I've made an effort to like Rodgers this year but I can't do it when he's out there with the bye wrapped up throwing on every down including the 1 and taking sacks just to try and win an mvp.

Detroit up 14-7.
Is GB resting their D?

Wouldnt be shocked one bit. Faster the lions score the faster Rodgers gets the ball back so he can pad stats.
