    Roster cut announcements have begun

    Running for the razors over the 5th WR and 5th CB seems to be overkill. Do I think Williams outplayed Darboh in preseason? In the games for sure but I have no idea about the 30 practices. Even so, only 2 of Williams catches came against NFL caliber defenses (week 2 vs Vikings). Everything...

    Roster is in

    It's simply harder to rookies to make the roster than in the past. On paper, this looks like the deepest team since 2013. I do think, however, that they won't keep 10 OL and likely add another DT.

    Carson Palmer a HOFer??

    It's funny because I don't think Eli is a HOFer either although he probably gets in with the 2 rings, name, and being in NY.

    OTA's as seen thru the eyes of Gregg Bell

    I think Rawls is being overlooked by a lot of people. He has to prove to be durable but he's shown flashes of being very good.

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    I think the market value of RGIII illustrates how ability is the driver on this. The same flaws that RGIII has in his game are in play for Kaepernick too. The noise with CK sure doesn't help but I'd think he'd be in the same basic situation as RGIII given the accommodations a team has to do...

    Carson Palmer a HOFer??

    http://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-cardin ... ll-of-fame I get that he's played a long time but he doesn't seem like a HOFer to me. Good player albeit he was pretty damn awful when they had a legit chance in the 2015 playoffs.

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    His beliefs/actions would be conveniently ignored if he was a high caliber QB. The NFL has proved that time and time again. The activist/protest stuff doesn't help him at all but the driving factor is his limitations at QB and the sacrifices a team has to make schematically to accommodate him...

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    Only 5 of those guys were on Benoit's list and he clearly states that his evaluation is based on the ability to play from the pocket in a conventional offense. In addition, I'd point out that a lot of the guys that have signed are competing for a job and at the veteran minimum salary. We still...

    2017 Defensive Line

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Great point. ST and versatility are huge factors that give Marsh an edge in terms of game day actives.

    Look at the Seahawks of recent years. They put up with a lot of Marshawn stuff because he was a stud. Same with some of the stuff Bennett and Sherman do and say. It's like the old Jimmy Johnson story with the Cowboys. "I can't be writing what the rules are because my rules vary from player...

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    To me, the talent/ability weight has been proven to be the main factor in whether controversial players get signed or not. If Kaepernick could play QB at a high level, I have no doubt that he'd have a job somewhere in the NFL. When you cannot play the talent card, it's much easier to not sign...

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    It's not absurd to point out that he's not very good and that's a big part of his situation. PFF isn't perfect but it also correlates with Football Outsiders (he was 30th in DYAR). This is where the metrics support the contention that he's got significant issues in terms of play execution...

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    ^^^^^^^^^ It's not a newsflash that the NFL is about money and power. It's a billionaires club and no one is entitled to play in their league. Right or wrong, what he did was largely unpopular with a lot of fans and sponsors. That said, one absolute truth is that if you can play, they will...

    Sorry for another Kaeperncick article MMQB nails it

    Benoit is a film guy like Greg Cosell and goes into the issues beyond the pure stats. His assessment of Kaepernick is pretty accurate IMO. The 15 backups is a subjective one but it also got me thinking. A huge role of the backup QB is to run the upcoming opponents offense and simulate the...

    I guess he's getting killed on social media because he says Kaepernick isn't very good. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/06/07/coli ... arterbacks

    Article on Fant

    I do sure like that the Seahawks have setup enough competition and depth that it forces him to win the LT spot. We can argue about ceilings on the OL guys but I think they dramatically have improved the floor based on internal development and the adds via FA and the draft.

    Bennett on Kam Chancellor

    I absolutely think that this draft is a hedge against the secondary players who are coming up on 3rd contracts. I sure don't see a Reshard Jones type of deal on the horizon unless it's a fluff contract with no guarantees beyond year 3.

    Bennett on Kam Chancellor

    The challenge is to agree to terms on a deal that protects both sides, especially when Kam is starting to miss 4 or 5 games a season. It will be an interesting test case of whether the team is ready to break up the defense.

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    Moot point now but I do think it's important to look at Sando's article on how CK was viewed way before the flag thing. I remember the mistake prone headphone wearing QB from 2014 and 2015 myself. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1944 ... k-2017-nfl

    Seahawks Not Signing Kaepernick

    Reportedly, they never made him an offer after meeting with him. Is that evidence that money wasn't a factor? If that meeting gave the Seahawks the impression that he's a starter, then it opens up the realistic expectations of whether the player can embrace a clear backup role with minimal to...
