On offense however, its like someone snapped their fingers. Because all of a sudden, Dak and the play calling suck.

Why is Parsons on the sideline so much? What is the injury?

WTF Fields jumps over Parsons without touching him. He just had a mental brain fart.

Weird

That TD was basically a gift. That's the kind of stuff bad teams do. Mental mistakes.

You know your season is doomed when your team is doing things like that.

Hard to believe anyone could put 30 points on our defense, let alone the Bears.

Pretty evident that Pollard is the superior runner to Zeke.

We still need Zeke to grind and keep Pollard from wearing down. But Zeke needs to take a backseat roll going forward.

We might have to franchise tag Pollard next season because Zeke is gone

That's top5 money though

What hurts is Elliott is getting 24 million this year.

If you do that and then end up signing him long term you have to keep in mind that Pollard should be good for about 2 more seasons. You’ll have to give him at least a 4 year deal though. So in the last 2 years of that contract you’ll be paying him big money when he won’t be the same guy.

Very nice solid win today. Still bugging me that we gave up 29 points today. A slight concern you might say.

He's 25. I'm good giving him a 4 or 5 year deal. Most RBs can go pretty strong until 29 or 30.

The thing is though he's probably going to get money similar to Zeke. We might have to do that though or we have nothing at RB.

What is roughly the going rate for top RB's these days?

The average of the top 5 highest paid RB’s is about $13M-$14M per.
