He is 33, so probably a one year incentive laden deal.

I'm a bit higher on Manziel as a player than I was a while ago, but they need to hit a home run with the coach and OC to put him in position to succeed. I still think he's supremely immature, and I have a hard time imagining the locker room getting behind him.
lol, that's pure speculation and presented as such. It's in no way even worthy of a rumor label.
Thinking that some of these FA WRs might end up getting big contracts even though they did nothing on the field this season to make a strong or stronger case.
For a team like the Panthers, do you pay the money to lure Nicks back home to Carolina? Do the Jets?
I wonder if Reid targets Maclin if the Eagles aren't quick enough to re-sign him.
I could see Cooper also getting a pretty sweet deal even though I think a lot of his production was the result of defenses worrying much more about McCoy and Desean.

Panthers DE Greg Hardy just walked into BoA Stadium with a noticeable limp.
This guy was a total no-show in 2 of our 3 biggest games of the year. SNF at New Orleans and then again yesterday.

Cam played fairly well when he had time in the pocket, but he took ill-advised sacks when the pressure came instead of throwing it away. That's one of those "take the good with the bad" as he believes he can make defenders miss and has turned some of those would-be sacks into big gains on scrambles several times before.
And like I thought while at the game, the o-line played very Jekyl and Hyde. Sometimes Cam had tons of time, sometimes it seemed like he was engulfed 2 seconds after the snap:

He will get the tag because his agent will try make him the highest paid TE in history by slotting him as a WR because that's how he's used in the offense.

Depends if someone who thinks they're a couple parts away from contending next year feels like overpaying for him.
I hope we can keep(for the right price) him. The TE comparison is a good one because he lost his step a long time ago. Dude is slower than molasses on a winter morning, but like a Jason Witten or a Tony Gonzalez still manages to get open with good, smart route running, muscle, positioning, and scheme. The right system could easily squeeze 2-3 productive years out of him.

I don't think our line liked his trash talk before the game. If you don't block me I'll break your qbs face, I'm an angry man, etc.
Get out of here Greg hardy you stupid ass biiiiiiiiiitch

Any word on Chris Harris' injuries? Hopefully he'll be able to play next week. We'll need him against Brady.
Most establishments try to keep murderers out.
This still makes me laugh everytimes. Especially because I'm not allowed to use that language

Eh, Hardy played ok. Kap threw the ball 4 times in the second half, and did a good job getting the ball out quick on most pass plays. The pass rush just didn't have many opportunities. He had 6 tackles so it's not like he was totally invisible, the pass rush was just a non-factor all the way around. Had we scored on that second goal line possession making it 14-6, then you might have seen that change.

The Seahawks moving mountains for any and all advantages they can find? SHOCKER!
Next you'll whine that we draft better players than you.
Which wouldn't be true for 2013.
Cam made some terrible throws and decision in the fourth quarter but man some of those throws early on were beautiful to watch. I really thought after that TD to Steve Smith, he was going to have a huge game and the Panthers would win with some comfort (+7 points).
Who does Crimzon root for now?

I said it earlier in the week, it's not uncommon for any sporting even for the home team to take similar measures to try and ensure the home town fans (who dump their tax dollars into supporting these scams) get to spend more money on the home town team, or at least get to be the ones to flip them for profit.

I'll concede that your team trainers and physicians have more/better criminal connections.

lmao did you guys see Cam's reaction when he was asked about Kaep doing the superman? That was a "he gon' cry in the car" moment.
Are you asking who is blacker or who is more of a cornball brother? And is that the same question?
I think Kaep is blacker (though that is not saying much, there are white guys that are blacker than Wussle) and they are equally cornball.
Lookit the yuppie lawyer adjudicating on blackness.

A black guy would be buried under a jail after assaulting a white woman in a public bathroom, so that instantly disqualifies Gentle Ben from the discussion.
Roethlisberger was never in the discussion though.

Great second half yesterday after a really shaky first half. Cam was on fire in for the first 1.5 quarters of the game. It seemed to me like they put too much of an emphasis on Cam running the ball, by the end of the 3rd quarter he looked gassed. He took some big hits while running too, I'm not saying it affected his psyche but he looked like a different guy in the second half. Steve Smith should not have been playing in the second half of the game he was noticeably slow (like slower than Boldin slow) and couldn't even cut.
I thought the 49ers were the beneficiaries of a lot of questionable calls in the first half but the Carolina DBs were holding a lot and not getting called, so I'm going to say it was fairly balanced.
Kaep had a pretty shaky game but again made plays when he had to. That last drive before halftime was huge and I think it gave our team confidence that we can hang with these guys.
Boldin and Gore were our only two weapons today - Crabs had that nice 3rd down grab of 20 yards or so, but other than that was held in check. VD had once catch for one yard but at least it was a TD. I don't know how Boldin gets so open when he is so slow but watch the guy make tough catch after tough catch is beautiful. I hope we resign him because this guy is essential to our success.
The offensive line, particularly Mike Iupati was dominant. We kept Kaep clean for the most part (1 sack, I believe) and gave Gore some holes to run through. I hope they can continue this effort in Seattle. Iupati was a big concern for me going into the game because his pass blocking had been really suspect the past couple of weeks. Good to see him round into form when we needed him most.
Defense was suffocating in the second half, I thought we were going to be in for a long day after that TD pass. It was a perfect throw by Cam though, so I can't fault Brown too much who had great coverage. Everyone but Aldon Smith showed up heavy on the stat sheet, but I think its because I seen him getting chipped and doubled in most obvious passing situations. Brooks once again showed up huge both in run support and pass rushing. He tied Charles Hayley's record for most sacks in one postseason (5) with at least one game to go.
I just want to say it's laughable how Mike Mitchell is so sour grapes over the officiating while I agree with the headbutt situation Skuta was penalized for hitting Cam in the helmet after Cam had tucked the ball and went to roll out. Kaep was hit like that I think against Green Bay doing the same thing with no call. Just saying.
This is a different team than Seattle seen week two, and Seattle's offense has been shaky lately. This is going to be another physical game and I hope our boys are up to it. Go Niners.

Wow, he really doesn't take criticism well. He also apparently lacks the ability to take responsibility for anything negative.
Sorry Washington, you've got a young Poutface on your hands.
You know eznark, I've been trying to practice my detective skills being as I've been reading some Batman graphic novels lately and all, you know, people get inspired. Using my deductive reasoning, evidence and the trail of clues you leave behind I figured out who you are. I get a familiar vibe from you, as of someone I've met before in my childhood. And then it hit me. Grouchy, hates the little guy, can't see anyone happy. It was you all along! The evidence was astounding.
The Evidence on the case for Eznarks identity:
- Very Angry
- Very Bitter
- Hateful
- Can't stand the little guy
- Exhibits supressed emotions
- Lack female understanding
- Love Felines
amirite?
