Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 04:33:50 PMAs to the timeline of the SMS increase, was there any mention of marketing money prior to Doman Re-signing Rourke for $824k/season? Seems like marketing money was the joker card the owners threw into the deck after the cards were dealt to excuse any over-spending they wished to indulge in. Instead of punishing Doman according to the SMS rules, they gave him a slap on the back. If it was a planned process I think it would have been discussed in the off-season and brought forward as a proposal.

Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:16:09 AMAll the DBs, but especially the CBs, pooped the bed in the ESF. You could argue in the losing GCs too (to a lesser extent). What Calvillo & Alexander did to them the other month was shameful. Sitting there in the stands I was flabbergasted. Half those chuck & pray 60Y bombs should have been INTs if our guys (and our DC(s)) had a clue.Agree, other than holm , all should be looking over their shoulder as they aren't nearly good enough and it's good news we re cleaning house and bringing in new bodies
I'm all for finding incremental improvement. Parker is getting old for a DB, has been injured a whack ton, and was never as good as Houston (for example). Yes, he was solid, and I liked him, but he never solidified his spot like, say, Nichols did.

Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:10:14 AMBut that's more a dig on Ko-man than Eli. Ko is expected to be better as the anointed starter. Eli is expected to be a good jumbo & TE & backup snapper.
I could possibly argue Eli is better at his job than Ko-man...
