Merged: CJ Anderson Super Thread- Offer sheet decision today

Miami needs a speed-RB to compliment either Ajayi or Anderson. Right now, they don't have a back that can hit HRs like Lamar. That's what they lost when Lamar signed in Houston.
How much to get Sproles?
 
It's always a great story to hear some undersized, undrafted player working his way into playing time with a successful team then leveraging success in the postseason into an overinflated contract with some sucker team. It's a shame we're that sucker team though.

:bobdole:
 
The RB that was backing up Ivory in NY, Bilal Powell (former Raven, right?) was playing great down the stretch and was pissing me off as Ivory's fantasy owner. Ivory's value was plummeting late in the year and that back-up was a big reason. The announcers were commenting that they never saw Powell run as fast as he was in December last year. I'm not sure if his vision is elite (probably not) but if he's running that fast, please bring him in and hand-cuff him to Ajayi and go from there. If you weren't that confident in Ajayi, you should've payed Lamar. If you are comfortable in Ajayi as your 15-20 carries-per-game guy, then why even spend CJ Anderson money?
In the meantime, Powell should be your back-up option when Denver matches Miami's offer sheet for Anderson.

Powell already resigned with the Jets.
 
You can bet anderson is putting the full pressure on his agent to rattle the front office in denver to match miami's offer. And why wouldnt he? Top to bottom from owner, gm, front office, players, coaches are better than miami's. They just won a superbowl. If denver had zero intention of matching for him, they would informhis agent and not make a kid they really like wait and stress over his future. Unless this whole thing is being stalled so denver can leverage rb's to interview and sign on the cheap before denver commits to matching miami's offer.

I dont think denver is out of this at all. They want him. Fans want him. His team mates want him and anderson, plus his agent wants him to stay there. I say its 90% sure anderson remains a bronco.

Didn't they just lose both of their Quarterbacks? How long do you think it is before the are seriously challenging again? Not that we have huge upside either. I just don't think Denver has anything more than us at the moment.

They won the super bowl with the worst QB in the league. Methinks they have a little bit more going for them than the Dolphins.
 
Makes you reevaluate some of the ball placement from Thill. Sounds like it all was a huge mess.

Ball placement concerning accuracy has always been there for him. Never a real issue as Tannehill is a very accurate QB.

Where one could re-evaluate the problems is where we saw decision making issues especially relative to down & distance factors. In many situations in Lazar's offense the single 20+ vertical route was automatically nullified if man coverage with safety help was shown pre-snap. This lead to a very unbalanced progression of the shallow crossers to check downs in the flats which was all by Lazar's design and not at all a reflection of Tannehill or his misconceived ability to properly progress thru reads.

A Cover 2 shell can easily be disguised as man coverage then rolled to Cover 6. A perfect example of this actually comes from tape I've been watching on Isa Abdul Quddus. Here you'll see just as was described. Thanksgiving game vs the Eagles, 2nd down & 13, with a 4-2 front/Cover 2 shown pre-snap. The short-side boundary CB is in press with our new addition Quddus at SS over the top. Again in Lazar's scheme this would sometimes take the X WR immediately out of the progression. Post snap the coverage will roll to a Cover 6. The boundary CB will drop into a hook zone, SS Quddus will be responsible for the Deep 1/2 on the on the C2 side, while FS takes Deep Middle and the fieldside CB drops to Deep 1/3 for a C4 (Quarters) on the wide-side. C2 + C4 = C6.

The result here is a first down on a 23 yard gain on a PA deep crosser but we had a tendancy last year to run those crossers in a mid-level range which would result short of the chains and a 3rd down. Again, that was all by design in Lazar's offense (despite Chip Kelly showing here as to having more depth to his routes) and not a misread or poor trait related to that of the QB.

Bill "The Star" Lazar . . . :crazy:



* A brief explanation as to why Lazar would remove the vertical route here by the X WR: Lazar believed that within his concepts there was always a mismatch. If the boundary CB showed man with safety help than that supposedly removed the qualifiers for a mismatch therefore is was to found in another pattern. Obviously there is a ****-ton wrong with that line of thinking, especially if the QB is able to properly ID the defense, but when you're handcuffed, like the offense was under Lazar, there's only so much the QB can correct pre-snap.

Don't brush off the fact that they didn't tender a second rounder on him. I don't buy they did that because they under estimated his value. Bronco's have cap issues and need a starting and back up QB not to mention signing a draft class.

If reports that Kapernick is the target are true, that eats 11.9 of their cap space.

Honestly I'd just focus on drafting a QB and signing one of those game managing QBs like Matt Moore or Fitz because Kapernick is Ew, and sounds like a desperate remain "relevant" move.
 
Peyton wasn't last... But he was second only to Ryan Mallet in 2015 QBR, for last place.

Manning was a master at running an offense. Shallow measures like statistics do not take his mental acuity into account, but I'll let the fantasy football and PFF pundits continue to wonder in disarray as to how he helped lead his side of the ball to another SB championship if they believe that garbage.

Broncos traded for former Eagles and Jets QB Mark Sanchez, as @MikeKlis reported. Broncos gave Eagles a conditional 7th round pick in 2017.

Looks like Denver can match the CJ deal ..

He didn't play the full season. He was injured but he was a very capable QB and he won the Superbowl. Certainly not even close to the worst QB in the league. That is ridiculous.
