as a middle of the first round pick, it’s hard to say anyone singing his praises was “wrong.” Objectively he’s been a great pick even with headaches.

I mean, I think that a cover 3 zone is still going to pretty well be base for us, but hopefully a few more wrinkles in it

even so, catching a ton of balls AND being a physical blocker - at some point you roll an ankle, or catch a concussion, even ignoring the major injuries. if he gets a high ankle sprain, where does that offense go without adding a threat? I guess there’s still a good bit of speed for Andy to try to scheme but it becomes a challenge.

counter: the on field rules have changed, the physicality has changed where different types of athletes slot up professionally has changed and there’s now a salary cap. Jim played in a different era and it’s not just a fad or swing of the pendulum

everything here. jim is bringing answers from his career but it’s a drastically different era.

they have to worry that at soooome point Kelce misses time. His health has been remarkable but statistically can’t keep up forever and they have so little insulation for that today

Plot twist, its yolos second account

yea, guys never play more calculated vs more emotional. Totally fabricated and crazy. counter: I think you can absolutely tell when he’s starting to play on tilt and is about to uncork an incredibly aggressive throw or run over a guy versus when he’s cool, calculated and methodically attacking

like “oh I’ve missed 3 throws and nothing else is going smooth and I’m going to go hit a guy in the open field” as opposed to calculated “it’s 3rd and 5 and I need to get to the sticks”

It’s one thing in the playoffs or a big 4th quarter drive to win a game. He can’t be taking on linebackers in the second quarter in September though. It’s how you turn him into cam newton or Andrew luck. He needs to learn the risk and reward of it. It’s a long season and he has a lot of them to make it through. Even ignoring the catastrophic injury, the beatings will shorten his shelf life and I want him in Buffalo til he’s 40 and not falling off at 30 there were a few times where it seemed he was running out of frustration more than anything and that’s just not good.

there’s also a consideration that a report gets derailed by someone else swooping in. Often reporters are accurate in what they are sharing but that can change in fluid situations.

counter: adding an all pro to any team nationally considered a contender would be called a final piece. No one is weighing a RT to compete with brown in that statement. Of course they are seeking high compensation. Are they supposed to leak that he’s cheap?

his contract says the nfl thinks otherwise

that something has happened once in all of existence doesn’t define a market

the best guaranteed dollars would’ve been the ones he would’ve already been paid, right? he’s essentially passed on tens of millions to try to guarantee tens of millions in 5 years that he’s very likely to be paid either way. It’s terrible.

or hop is waiting for what he wants

so far that ego you share is costing him money he will never get back. he may be well served to pay more attention to his own house instead of trying to outdo his neighbor. He’d not only likely be wealthier but also happier. His choice though.

it’s a 2 year deal at the moment. Longevity of that is a big consideration on whether it truly impacts team building or is just coming from the shiny toy fund

hopkins is a big risk on a big contract and rumored for a 5th because of his contract/age/risk, so it’s really gabe for Simmons at that point if you buy the rumored first half

so nearly a quarter of the league are front runners? Insightful. also rebuilds can be VERY quick. Aw shucks, a wild card year mixed into his career somewhere? And then back to contending if we don’t blow the draft?

generally, sure. A 100m contract isn’t selling your house without a realtor.

to get a pick this year?

nope. Spreading this years 19 over 5amd then when you void the 3 dropping 15 into 2025 so something like 5m salary plus $5m hit $15m dead. I don’t think that’s the solution but would be the most aggressive option short term

Just tell him not to post any pics holding his Hopkins & Allen gun.

Has he posted any Mr bean gifs? Will we get a goo goo dolls song?!?
