[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1206592, member: 86934"] The rules are a bit vague about whether an IPP player can be re signed for a 2nd season as the IPP player. I've seen accounts for and against it, bit can't find out much. This year's IPP candidates total 17, plus a few kicking specialists who aren't going through the program but are available for slots. 32 teams, 17 players doesn't fill the NFL obviously, so I'd lean toward the slots being allowed open for multiple years. That would make far more sense. The big talk about LRZ making a splash was the London game, this obviously didn't happen, and does LRZ, outside of a pretty small rugby community have the pull or potential he did last year? I mean 400k gram followers pales in comparison to Maher 5 mil. His reach just hasn't grown that much. More bad news for LRZ, Thomas jr the rookie wide receiver has just been named NFL rookie of the month, and has broken all Jags records this season, rumour has it he's about to be given a monster deal which halves LRZs chances to play. At 22 he's touted as the franchises future, or even worse, if WRs aren't a key position for the incoming coach he would be utilised as a trade for someone else. Also some good and bad news on the coaching front, new coach rumours Aaron Glen, and Ben Johnson would be less interested in risk taking, Lawrence has proved an issue at QB this year, in and out for numerous reasons, and now seems to have big influence with the GM and owner. A bad apple at QB renders WRs useless. Monken however might be just what LRZ needs. Monken is a stats man, and he's spoken previously about player profiling and peak outputs etc. WRs usual peak at 26/27, plenty of time for LRZ, but they also usually establish themselves 2 seasons before peak also. Either way New coaches coming in will probably prioritise results from the go, Jags going from 9/8 to 4/13 was awful, and Khan and Baalkes recent interviews highlight they beleive they are a playoff team, and believe variaty in offence and a tighter defence they can turn it around. No wholesale changes to expect, no front of house changes and no major rebuild. Jags will probably also spend their wage cap money on holding 3/4 good rookies (not that LRZ would cost much by NFL standards). I am probably putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with -17.966 tho, so what do I know. [/QUOTE]
