#4…not bad. Not bad at all.

Sounds like Worthy is going to be the biggest bust since Mahomes.

I just cannot believe how incompetent the KC front office must be to have traded up to draft this obvious bust.

Dak and Hurts ahead of JJeff and Micah is LOL.

How is it a bunch of crap? The rift between Diggs and Allen went on for over a year both privately and at times spilling into public view. I’m sure Pegula would have much preferred it to have been handled inside the locker room instead of having it reach the point where the team had to trade the second best player on the team and eat over $30 million in cap space to do so. We all watched Diggs berate Josh on the sideline of the Bengals game, and Josh just sat there and didn’t react. (The camera then cutting away to the Bengals sideline showing Eli Apple laughing as he mocked bending them over and spanking their asses was a hell of a contrast). I can absolutely see Pegula talking to Beane and McDermott about how they can better equip Josh to deal with similar situations in the future. It seems like a perfectly normal conversation to have between an owner and upper management. I’d be more surprised if it didn’t happen.

They can’t try for great because they made a decision to go all in now knowing that they’ve got a short window before they have to tear it down. There’s no time to start over with a rookie QB. If Tua can keep giving them 4600 yards with 29/14, he’s a bargain. Maybe they get lucky and have good weather in the postseason and go on a run They’ve got a chance, but they’re taking a rifle shot rather than a shotgun blast approach. It’s going to take a lot of things going right for them to really threaten for a championship, but if they get hot late in the year, I wouldn’t want to run into them in the postseason. When their offense is clicking, it may be the best in the league.

Three stars and a QB. Nothing wrong with that for a team aiming to win now.

It is funny how you can look at this debate with the benefit of hindsight and see that one side was 100% validated, yet those who took the other side can still refuse to acknowledge that they were wrong. The Bills are paying $31,000,000 for the best player to ever share a locker room with Allen to play for the Texans. It doesn’t get any more definitive than that.

In other words, it’s a very reasonable deal that will put him at about the 20th highest paid two years from now.

Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and Breece Hall are a pretty solid big 3, and they got 850 yards from their TEs.

Are you kidding me? The owners charge as much as they possibly can. The amount they can charge for tickets determines how much they can pay their players, not the other way around.

What’s wrong with that? Teams don’t fail because they pay stars too much. They fail because they can’t draft stars and wind up overpaying JAGs. Whatever Maxx Crosby and Davanta Adam’s make, their contracts aren’t what’s holding the Raiders back. Those guys are earning their keep.

I’m not dragging Allen at all. He’s incredible player. I’m complementing Love by comparing him to Josh. I think Love could find himself in the “who is the best QB not named Allen or Mahomes” discussion sooner rather than later.

So the owners “are gonna make what they need to make” but it’s the players who are greedy… Players have fancy cars. Owners have yachts with helicopters on them.

He led the league and yards and threw 29 TDs. I get that he’s got great weapons around him, but those numbers have to count for something.

He literally had one really bad game all year. Do you really not remember just how bad Josh looked at times his first couple of years? Love threw 12 picks all season in his first year as a starter. Other teams have good players, too. It’s okay to admit it. The same people who complain about young talented dudes making millions love the old dudes making billions owning the teams.

How was it half a season? He started great, finished great, and was pretty good in between. He had 31 TDs and only 12 INTs, and he ran in 4 more. Want a stat? He had 9 games during the season where he threw multiple TDs without throwing an interception and then another in his first playoff game. Josh has done that 25 times in his career.

Love, and it’s not close. He’s really good, and he’s improving rapidly. Tua’s good and he’s still improving incrementally, but you pretty much know what his ceiling is. I could see Love being considered one of the elite QBs as soon as this year.

Just for context, here are a couple of Vegas O/U for 2024: Passing yards Tua: Over 4100.5 +100 Allen: Over 3750.5 -120 Jackson: Over 3250.5 -110 Burrow: Over 4000.5 -105 Passing TDs Tua: Over 25.5 -110 Allen: Over 27.5 +110 Jackson: Over 22.4 -110 Burrow: Over 28.5 +110

He did that stuff all the time. It finally hit critical mass during the Bengals game when he was just undressing Allen on the sidelines, and Josh just sat there and didn’t respond. I’m not generally one who thinks that addition by subtraction is a real thing when it comes to superstars, but there is a case to be made that this could be a rare exception. What surprises me is that Josh never grabbed him by the throat in the locker room and threatened to kick his ass if he ever pulled a stunt like that again. Maybe even more surprising is that Spencer Brown or Dion Dawkins didn’t either. I can’t even imagine what would happen if a WR tried that with Brady, Rodgers, Manning, etc.

This is groundbreaking. Do any other teams utilize similar concepts?

It makes a lot of sense that you’d want to trash a player you were looking to trade thus lowering his value as much as possible.

I think he’s durable enough not to miss the season due to a case of strep throat in July.

So…Michael Thomas it is?

Winning 4 MVPs kinda grants you an exception.
