Quote:The Alex Mack hate is strong in you.  

 

He didn't have a terrible year.  Down year?  Yes.  I'll gladly take a center who had his worst career year, coming off an injury, that still represents an upgrade and still made a Pro Bowl.  He probably didn't deserve the Pro Bowl nod, but he was still above average as a center.  The encouraging thing is that he got stronger as the season went on.  This has all the earmarks of an off-season caused by recovery from a broken leg.

 

I doubt he commands over 10 million per year average.  I think he'll sign somewhere between 8 and 9.5 million per year.  Hopefully it's with the Jaguars.

I am as much a Browns fan as I am a Jags fan. I attended several games this past season. Alex Mack played like garbage and his broken leg didn't explain looking confused and stepping on his guards' feet and getting thrown directly back several times a game into his QB. Shanny ran a ZBS and Mack looked good in that. In a power blocking scheme, he stinks. Flip ran the exact same style of offense as Olsen (he learned under him) and Mack looked like hot garbage. Picking him up would be a highly priced bad idea.
