No, as usual he's talking in binary terms. McCown is guaranteed 4.75M. That means at minimum a cap hit of $2.375 spread over 2. Everything else is base salary and/or performance escalators. That is not a horrible deal for an insurance policy. I wonder if McCown's performance last year was worth $5 million?

Oh woah woah woah McCown only suceeded b/c of Tresty and his system Scorehead will say. Well Tampa will have two trees in Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans, Sefarius Jenkins at TE and Doug Martin at RB with a solid unspectacular OL. The Bucs will have a killer defense given all their young talent.

ATL and CAR are rebuilding of sorts so the division/wild card is right there and one half of the ball you know will kick ass. I would love to be shown why spending fine let's say $5m on a Glennon insurance is a stupid decision. The worst case Glennon proves to be for real or McCown sucks so he gets cut thereby eating $2.375M of their cap next year. I think that's a GOOD gamble. Details are tough to grasp for SH.

"Only" $4.75M? Didn't Lovie sign McGowan to be the starter? Who pays a backup $5 Mill?

I fully understand the details. Lovie signed McGowan to be the starter which will hinder Glennons progress. This is the offensive genius Lovie showing his love for another old journeyman player which gets in the way of developing a promising young player who was your #1 draft pick. Good luck Tampa Bay.

Who did he ever coach up and make a better a player? I cant think of one guy. He has a system and if you have good pieces in place his system works. I dont appreciate a damn thing he ever did.

C'mon Kirko. You can jump all over Scorehead

Im pretty hammered right now.

Glennon was a 3rd round pick.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

I feel like it's just silly to ignore the correlation between Lovie's tenure and the Bears easily leading the NFL in takeaways during that time span. He clearly had an impact and was not a bad coach by any means. He wasn't great.

It just seems weird that anyone could think differently even if you didn't like all of his decisions as a head coach. He's a really good head coach and a great defensive coach.

And the players love him

Great defensive coach for sure. Head Coach story still being written but good so far

My head might explode.

You people have a poor memory , he was 13-40 against the teams .500 or better...he cost us a Super Bowl. Lovie didn't teach Tillman how to punch the ball out...he had 5 hall of famers on defense , the greatest return man in history .

he had 5 hall of famers on defense

Two, maybe.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Yeah this is making me want to puke.

The players loved Lovie because they got to do whatever they wanted and had no consequences for poor play on the field. Yes his defense had a lot of takeaways but that is a product of the system he runs and the ball punch craziness that Charles Tillman does. If you want to credit Lovie for that, OK...I think its something that all coaches teach their players but for some reason Tillman just has a freak ability to do it. Let's also not forget that his special teams only had the greatest return man of all time in his prime.

Look at seasons when Urlacher got injured or before Peppers. When the slightest thing went off kilter with Lovie his whole system collapsed and he got exposed as the gimmicky horseshoe-up-the-ass coach that he really is.

EDIT: And all of this is just focusing on what he does well... His blindness to anything offense hurt the team year after year.
