Preseason Game 1: Atlanta Falcons

Very few backups make 5 mill a year. Most are under 2 mill a year I believe.

 

Never said you can't. I'm simply saying that if you take a player at #4 overall, the expectation in today's in NFL is that they start. The days of sitting QBs is over.

all those things are what practice is for... otherwise no reason for practice at all

 

Is it too early to start saying Darrynton Evans is made of glass?

 

Pre-Season is just a money grab...evaluating players, which is important, could be done in scrimmages like vs Tampa Bay.

Practices don't give enough imo

 

Yeah, there are a few that make around $5M+, but most of those are in competition for a starting job or brought on to backup a QB on his rookie deal, i.e. Bridgewater, Newton, Taylor, Winston, Brissett, Keenum, and Foles.

Bridgewater is making the most at $11M, but they're paying peanuts for Lock so it doesn't really matter.

The point is that most entrenched starters have a backup that only costs ~$1-2M.

 

Preseason is purgatory.

 

One other note is that Kinsey led the team in receptions and looked wily out there. I think he had at least 3 reception that were 10+ yards and 1st downs. Contested catches too.

 

He looked good last year, but it didn’t help his cause.
