It's really going to suck as a DC trying to scheme against this offense. So many guys who can create mismatches and contribute in multiple ways

Totally agree.

It'll be like a great combination puncher in boxing - depressing to fight for the opponents.

because Kyle runs a 21 personnel more than any HC in the league. Having Juice on the field doesn't equal to a run or a pass play automatically. It's all about not giving tells to the defense and it was pretty obvious why they paid him if you watch the Jags game

Just when you thought ESPN could actually sit down and do some intelligent journalism, they f**k up and post this ish.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24107215/nfl-20-most-outsized-contracts-adjusting-position-2018

First silly Bill Barnwell attacks the system for rewards KJ's (ProBowl) success by saying ...

As was the case in Baltimore, Juszczyk's season was only superficially a success. He made the Pro Bowl for the second season, which is a product of the league's antiquated roster structure with its all-star game as opposed to excellent work. He contributed nothing as a runner, and while his receiving DVOA narrowly tipped to the positive side at 3.7 percent, whatever impact he had as a receiver was more than offset by the fact that Juszczyk fumbled twice on 38 touches. The 49ers also averaged more yards per carry (4.2) and ran for first downs more frequently (24 percent) when Juszczyk was off the field than they did when he was on it, as those runs produced 4.0 yards per carry and a first-down rate of 19.3 percent.

And then tries to compare JK's contract to ... EVERY OTHER FB in the league who don't remotely have the same responsibilities league-wide. Then outright LIES with this doozy:

It's not a huge mistake, but we saw the 49ers do the same thing again this offseason in giving halfback Jerick McKinnon $12 million for 2018 as part of a four-year, $30 million pact. Even if you wanted to pay a premium for McKinnon -- and it's unclear why the 49ers felt like they needed to pay a premium for any running back in a scheme that has generated excellent running backs out of nowhere for decades -- nobody was valuing backs with McKinnon's track record this offseason at anywhere close to $12 million for one year or $7.5 million over four.

Either Barnwell isn't doing his homework, uninformed or just completely making ish up. A very simple google search would demonstrate, the 49ers were in contention with the Jets for McKinnon. This was reported in many places. Then the coup de gras:

Organizations that focus on a specific player at a position and overpay him as opposed to trusting their ability to find a player at a position with a particular skill set for the market rate fail more often than not.

So this guy would have you believe (as we all are very familiar with) Praag doesn't understand the market rate for players. Now try saying that seriously with a straight face. To this fanbase.

Seriously though, this is a super lazy article that just takes a chart, tries to look smart by comparing contract size relative to others at the position, tries to "create alarm" based on who's getting paid way over their "market value" and does a crazy poor job of trying to correlate/conclude some sort of outcome. Notice, the last sentence in the story, the most critical one again .....

Organizations that focus on a specific player at a position and overpay him as opposed to trusting their ability to find a player at a position with a particular skill set for the market rate fail more often than not.

DOESN'T HAVE A GRAPH, or chart, or moniker or stats because as we all know, "market value" means different things to different teams and I'd say there's a stronger correlation between coaching system and player versus "position" and player when it comes to success.

Nice try Bill but this isn't going to cut it (ESPN).

Ellebees running to their sideline — mutherf**ker I haven't lost a step, you just need to do your job and scheme me some help
