Fins supposedly had 5 year @ $20MM per year deal ready for Sean Peyton

 

Recall that they were also supposedly hot to trot for Watson and possibly Brady.  They ended up with the “splash” of an allegedly better (in OTA’s) Tua and Tyreek Hill. 

Funny that they couldn't do the smart obvious thing, because they couldn't hire a white guy.... then hired the whitest black guy I've ever seen 😆.

 

This is what you get when you bow down to PC crowd. They didn't even win good will points with the hire, because the guy looks white

All things being equal, I’m glad the Phins wound up with McDaniel/Tua instead of Peyton/Brady.

 

Neither team was going to give away either guy for less than 2-1st rounders.

No need to manufacture outrage. The change in direction was nothing more than Ross protecting himself against a tampering accusation that would derail his ownership.

Payton would actually be a good fit for Tua as he’s got the same PHYSICAL skill set as Brees.

Perhaps, but Brees is one of the most accurate QB's in NFL history, a future first-ballot hall of famer, a great leader, super competitive, and pretty smart. It's not accurate to say that Tua has any of that, and I'd say Brees had a much stronger arm in his prime than Tua has.

 

Tua is just a mediocre QB, honestly.

Payton already coached a 6th grade team once, didn’t need to do it again.

Kind of like the Bills in 2006.

 

But his shoulder!

In all seriousness... I hate you for reminding me.

Imagine how shot Tuas confidence could be. Flores didn’t believe in him and benched him for fitz. Ownership wanted to trade him for Watson or get Brady instead. 
 

that whole organization is toxic. Can’t forget about how ownership was wanting Flores to lose.

 

now their young rookie head coach has to deal with this Sean Payton stuff. He must feel like plan b. No one likes to be plan b. 
 

getting tyreek was like polishing a turd.

Somewhere in the multiverse, the Fins have both Sean Payton and Tom Brady.  And the Seahawks drafted Josh Allen.

So glad I live in this universe.
