re: I think Winston stays here this season!

Posted by MannyG on 2/27/24 at 2:45 pm

Doubt it. Winston wants a chance to be a starter, Carr can have a leg amputated & Allen would give him the start over Winston the following week. Kubiak probably wants a backup that'll fit a quick pass philosophy, Winston is not that. If it was just about good vibes & being a good locker ro...

[quote]That pushes about $22M in dead cap onto 2025[/quote] Yes, but he would not be on the roster which would make it a net positive. Probably would have to address OT in the draft instead of free agency since $22M in dead cap plus starter OT free agency money would be an insane allocation of m...

Plays a part but not bigger than the transfer portal. Being able to keep 5 and high 4 stars on the bench to develop for a couple years made those recruiting classes a huge advantage. Not so much when they can transfer to a rival the following year....

re: Kelly says he prevented Malik from playing the second half

Posted by MannyG on 1/2/24 at 1:56 pm

The Jaylon Smith injury rightfully changed the thinking on the importance of non-playoff Bowl games for draft eligible players (specifically those who are so high they can't really improve their stock). Those games should be more of a springboard for next season anyway. Jaylon Smith's coach when he...

Deserve to go vs. four best teams. FSU deserves to go. FSU is not currently one of the best four teams. As somebody who will be watching these games I want the best four teams playing but will not be upset if the teams who "deserve it" get in. Hopefully they'll be a more competitive game at t...
