Hobson has a depressing voice by nature I think
03-10-2022, 03:49 PM
Hobspin is the kind of guy you want on your team. Going out there and saying the darndest stuff with a grin on his face. But I have a hard time buying most of what he says unless it's a piece about someone's personal history/life. He does a good job on those. Just about anything else I tend to ignore.

The more I hear him talk, the more I think he just legitimately doesn't understand the cap...like at all.

We don't even have the minimum 51 players under contract at this time. We have roster spots filled by air right now that will cost money to fill.

Jake Liscow broke down the available cash the Bengals should have to spend after draft picks, practice squad, tenders, etc...and Hobson took that number and still tried to subtract all the things Jake had already accounted for. It was embarrassing to listen to. Listening to the podcast I think Hobson was not counting the release of Waynes and Hopkins like Liscow was. But I still think Hobson is right on that point. Even if we have $80 million in cash to spend this year we are not going to get more than one player with a $20+ million signing bonus. If you give 2 guys $20+ million then you only have $40 million to replace 6 of these 8 losses. Starting CB Starting RT Starting OG Starting Center Starting TE Starting DT 2 back up DTs that played as many snaps as a starter. And any decent free agent is going to get a signing bonus. So that cash burns up quickly.

Why does anyone care what Hobson continually says and get all stressed about it?
Many of you need a life.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

Hobspin gonna Hobspin...but if we go back to bargain bin shopping, I'll go back to not watching this year. It'll tell me all I need to know about the front office.

Hob is old media all the way. Might be time for him to move on if he's still singing this same old crappy song. It's a new dey Hob get on board or get out the way.

It's a new dey Hob get on board or get out the way. How long has he been the Bengals writer? I know he's been since at least 2006, which is when I started going to Bengals.com.

That way they could use all the "emergency" cap space they would usually roll over until the next season to pay Palmer a year early. Yep, it was right before the playoff game in 2005.

Although I have a math brain, I have never taken the time to analyze the contracts, the cap, etc. There are a handful of experts that I rely on for that information. I am more of a draft and FA nerd that loves diving in to film, PFF, etc. on potential additions. It is relieving to think that Burrow's elevated cap hit won't really hit for several years. This is SUCH a fun time ADDING FA and considering (maybe we are and not the Bengal's Brass, but I digress) trading picks for players. Which, BTW, I'm hearing a 3rd rounder for La'el Collins? Yes, please! |
