Got ya!
I think in this case the GM is in charge of the big picture especially as it pertains to the cap. I'd say stuff goes down like this:
If that’s how it went down, then it looks like a great relationship.
Yes if Tomlin is making great decisions. Hasn't really looked like that since Kahn took over. They are making grasping decisions to remain relevant. Win Tomlinships and stay in Pittbugatory if you will.
Tomlin's "Pittsburghatory"!!!!
Used in a sentence:
They should consider building a bigger trophy case.
I guess that is the negative way to look at it. It could also be said they are preparing for the future while not bottoming out. Trying to do right by their veterans and give them a chance to see if they can make a run. Because none of these moves will hurt them long term to keep them from doing what they want to do.
If you are like me and honestly believe you have to spend some time at the bottom to get to the top........it does make a huge difference. Like if you catch lightening and Mason Rudolph or better yet the Howard from Ohio State look like a legit starter (it does happen). If you artificially cultivate another 10-7 Wildcard Blow out. I think that really sets you back as a franchise.
Idk. Since 1969 when they went 1-13, they never really bottomed out. They got lucky with Ben sitting at 11. I understand the theory, but what has it gotten the Bengals, for example? Relevance on occasion? Big deal. The Chiefs were good, traded up for Mahomes and became great. I'm not sure that is all it's cracked up to be.
But truthfully do you honestly think it will be different? It's been like 6 or 7 straight years of this.
That's not an easy answer. When I go fishing, I always think I'm getting the big one. This will be a day for it. Or the big buck I saw on the camera will walk on by. So I always go in with some hope. I also don't believe what happened years prior will impact this year. Each year is a stand alone. So while common sense agrees with you, shiit, I'll have hope. It's more fun that way.
I really do believe he isn't the final say. I think he has a lot of say but they just rewarded Omar quite handsomely making it less likely he is a figure head.
Hes not a figure head. He's never been a figure head. He's a deal maker and if you want to kick cap space problems down tge road and fit a guy in.......He's pretty damn good. But his football credentials are pretty limited. Hence Weidel. In the end no one steps on that roster without Tomlin’s word. No one.
Like I said I am sure Tomlin has input, but the Khan man seems to run the ship IMHO, he certainly takes input, but I feel that Weidel may have more influence in the decisions than even Tomlin.
Thats fine. Now that you have been an adult for many years, how many big bucks and big fish?
Ingram, Blount, Williams, even Deebo might disagree.
