Mickalino Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Somebody needs to tell Upshaw that the only sacks that count are the ones BEFORE the whistle blows. Here's a stat : Upshaw has 4 times as many Personal Fouls called against him, as he does sacks......He's paid to get sacks, but he has 1 sack, and 4 Personal Fouls. And I'm just counting his Personal Foul penalties, NOT his total penalties. What does that tell you about Upshaw ? Is he a liability or an asset ?

WallyG3 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by Phat Hog Tells me he probably won't be around next year. Upshaw will cost us $1M next year. If we cut him, he will cost us $1.6M. Nice job, Vinnie! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRou Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Panel, If we trade him, we still eat some of his cap numbers since we gave him the signing bonus. Argh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashae Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Who would want him? You can't polish a turd, much less trade one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlobberKnockinFootball Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yea, I'm not quite so sure about the Upshaw project we have over there. He hasn't displayed anything to me that he deserves a starting job on this team. And that's pretty sad considering how awful we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanathos19 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Upshaw is garbage. Way to run the franchise where it costs you more to cut a guy than it does to keep him...especially when he blows like Upshaw. Keep him and sit his ass on teh bench, if it's not going to be beneficial to cut him. May as well trade him for a late draft pick or something...at least get something for him.

Dr. D Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 lets also remeber that Bruce has played most of the pass downs this year so throw the sack stat out. Lets play him full-time and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful, so the solution is to play him more, so instead, he'll end up with 12 'Roughing the Passer' penalties, and just 3 sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 thanks for amplifying my point several weeks ago which was disputed by more than a few posters here, namely that Upshaw is a waste of roster space :mad: we gave $2 million to a guy who missed most of the 2002 season with a severe knee injury and who has had an attitude problem at previous stops in Tampa and Oakland.

bubba9497 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Upshaw never hit Brooks on that play, even the announcers questioned why he was penalized. The penalty he got in the Tampa game was also very questionable, even Spurrier said so. Upshaw has played pretty well of late, especially against the run, a lot better than Bruce has played.
