Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
renegotiate his outlandish contract
I've compiled some dollar figures on 2006 salaries. I used 000 in place of the hundreds part of the salary to save time.
Vick--------------23,102,000
Hasselbeck--------19,005,000
Brady-------------15,654,000
Farve-------------9,500,000
Roethlisberger----9,498,000
Eli Manning-------9,305,000
Brees-------------8,082,000
Plummer-----------7,630,000
Mcnair------------7,501,000
Culpepper---------7,042,000
Rivers------------6,934,000
Collins-----------6,022,000
Brooks------------5,750,000
Delhomme----------5,665,000
Carr--------------5,504,000
Green-------------5,000,000
Losman------------4,481,000
Warner------------4,004,000
Bledsoe-----------4,004,000
McNabb------------4,001,000
Palmer------------3,750,000
Smith-------------3,500,000
P.Manning---------668,000- Surely backloaded for cap relief. Incase anyone wonders where Peyton is.
If you look at the QB's that signed last season , although I would have liked to seen Mac perform better. I think the Ravens got what they paid for .
Sometimes statistics don't complete the picture. The Ravens to a man will tell you how much Mac has meant to the team. Atleast from what I've heard.Last edited by RustonRifle; 01-14-2007 at 05:32 PM.

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
Agreed...he had a shitty game. McNair gets 50% of the blame and Billick gets the other 50. He abandoned the run too early (Jamal looked pretty good last night) and fell into Indy's lap with all the passing into cover 2. If Clayton didn't drop that ball around the 20 yd line, we might not be bitching at all!

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
Nurse:
Which is exactly why Shanahan made the switch to Cutler, because Plummer could not get the job done when it counted
T:You don't like $33 million? Sorry, but that's the amount of his contract. About a $7 million cap hit. Spin it any way you want: we are stuck with his multi-million cap hit for 2007, for the NFL's 14th ranked QB.
http://www.nflpa.org/Resources/Activ....aspx?id=22523
His salary is $3MM next year, then $4MM, then $6MM the last two.
His bonus was $11MM, for the five year deal. That's $2.2MM per year in cap hits. Next year, his cap hit will be $5.2MM, out of a cap that'll be around $105MM.
If we cut him, we get the $3MM salary off the cap, but accelorate the entire remaining bonus amount. That's an $8.8MM cap hit. For those less mathematically inclined, it's $3.5MM more of a cap hit to cut him than to keep him.
If you cut him after the Jun 1 (or is it July?) deadline, you get his $2.2MM cap hit this year and dump his salary, but the $6.6MM goes onto next year when you don't have him anymore. You save his $3MM salary hit this year though.
In '08, his cap hit would be $6.2MM if we keep him, $6.6MM if we cut him, and if we cut him after the deadline we'd only have $4.4MM hit us in '09.
That's the reality of the cap hits we take with and without McNair over the next two seasons...no spin allowed.
My personal feelings would be that I'd hope we draft a QB (Troy Smith late in the second or third round would be nice), and keep McNair around for another year or two to groom him.

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
FYI, I just looked up the salary caps:
http://www.nflpa.org/cba/cba_pdf/Art...eam_Salary.pdf
'07 - $109MM
'08 and beyond is unset as of now.
Keeping McNair next year, his cap his is less than 5% of our total cap space. Not a burden at all, for a QB that took us to a 13-3 record.

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
Comparing McNair with Plummer is ridiculously stupid.
No, I was referring to replacing Billick. We know what he offers offensively which is not enough to win in the playoffs. But having a mental midget as a QB does not help either. I do consider McNair mental midget. I cant tell you how many times this year I said, "why in the world did he throw that"? You dont see winners make those errors. Please refer to Dilfers superbowl run!Living in Houston, Tx....still living, eating, breathing the Ravens

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
Listen up! McNair had a very solid regular season, but in the biggest game of the year, he came up very small. No ifs, ands or buts about it. In a playoff game, he sucked, plain and simple.
That doesn't mean I don't want him back next year, but like T has been saying all along, he's not worth the price we are paying.

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
PSU, I got my salary info off of Foxsports. I assumed it was yearly salary plus signing bonus.
Here it is if you or anyone else wants to look around.

Re: Any McNair apologists still out there?
George Allen's theory was that, you start the best qb you can get your hands on. Right now the Ravens have 3 options, McNair, Boller & Olsen. FA signing and/or draft is a possiblity; trade less likely.
IMHO, McNair is our starter cuz he's the best we could get our hands on. He sure worked out better than Kerry Collins or Dante Culpepper.
dang, I think Boller would be fine if he'd be less anxious and stop tripping twice every game. He wants it too bad, while McNair seems to sleepwalk sometimes.
what FAs are available???
