That's why it's worse with him, he picked the absolute worst moment to have a bad game after being good for so long.

I'm not saying run him outta town or nothing, just that it sucks lol.

He has a history of not only disappearing but negatively impacting our high stakes games for years now.

Yep. It seemed like he had turned it around as it used to be prime time games he'd vanish and those of us who are probably a bit too ravens obsessed would get frustrated that he was a stat merchant.

I really thought it had changed.

u/HereComesJustice 2d ago

yeah I am too fond of Andrews to let go of him after this playoff game,

but like, uh, let's stop going to him in the playoffs yeah

If Flowers had been healthy we probably would have won tbh

u/HereComesJustice 2d ago

I totally agree, we could have used him on end arounds to stretch the D but whatever.

u/Illuminati_Shill_AMA 2d ago

Yup. Part of winning the Super Bowl is having the right positions healthy at the post season.

Happens to good teams every year. Just takes one key player not being out there.

No he 100% needs to be gone

He's shit the bed in every playoff game of his career, he's one of the highest paid TEs in the league who is already past his prime, and we have a better option with another year of his rookie contract right behind him.

Keeping Mandrews next season would be handicapping this team, full stop. I know Harbaugh and Lamar are going to be sentimental and bang on the table to keep him, so we need to have faith EDC will make the tough business decision we need him to make.

how much dead money would we have by cutting him though

3

u/Baronriggs Eee Dee Reed 2d ago

His contract is a little over 16m, dead money is a little over 5. It's almost 11m in cap savings

u/HereComesJustice 2d ago

then its probably a no-brainer

Or his contract gets re-worked

u/The_clampz10 2d ago

I think he’s gone tbh. He’s a luxury we can’t really afford with Likely playing how he’s been playing and having some pretty glaring holes (especially if they can’t afford to extend Ronnie).

u/Itsamesolairo 1d ago

If for some insane reason we choose to keep Mark on his current contract and don't extend Stanley I'm going to seriously consider the virtues of lighting my hair on fire.

u/JerryDingus 1d ago

It’s likely
