David Wiodley won 67 percent of his games and made it to the same amount of Super Bowl losses. That's the team Marino took over.
Yeah I was thinking of that too. Can't believe Tua has made more mistakes in shotgun than Steve Young ever did.
But those are examples of how terrible it is except for Love. These are dumb contracts. Dak and Lawrence contracts are abortions. Their teams are terrible. This is a "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?"
great examples. all mistakes. all those teams now suck or are about to suck or not threaten for a sb for a long time, again. the same thing used to happen with running backs, and then finally teams figured out, don't do it. there are only a 2 or 3 QBs that can carry this type of salary and still have the whole thing work. the nfl is a business. not all teams pay these QBs this type of money because they are trying to win a SB. they do it for business reasons, to get asses in seats, and to keep the fans engaged. 9-8 is much more palatable than 4-13.
Wait, so you are taking out home games against poorer teams and leaving in road games against playoff teams and going "look, the average goes down!!!"
This offense wasn't "built to Tua's strengths". There's no idiot in the coaching staff thinking the perfect offense fir any QB is one built off budget parts from the discard bin because the only good offensive linemen this team has drafted in a decade plus was because a guy fell after a video of him in a gas mask bong hit on draft night.
I'm not really looking at home vs away. Just looking at decent teams vs abortions, but yeah, that's the discussion. Thanks for stopping in.
What is the alternative? It's not like finding an elite QB is easy, some teams never draft one. We've been looking since Marino retired. Guys like Flacco, Foles, Eli Manning, the corpse of Peyton Manning, and Wilson have all won SBs off the strength elite defenses or getting hot at the right time. Teams can't just endlessly search for that elusive elite QB. You make do with what you got and If you draft well maybe you can give yourself a window to win big.
thats the point once you pay these kind of QBs that kind of money, the window is shut. you can be decent, but odds are you are never going to be great. the teams all know it too. these are business deals, not football deals.
If you draft well the window can stay open especially if you can draft well on the defensive side and OL. You give yourself a 4-5 year window before you have to start paying those defenders. Obviously that's easier said than done but so if finding an elite QB.
Tua played practically perfect games against the Bills and Cardinals and still lost. Why does your agenda never focus on the defense which has stats to back up how bad they've been in most of the losses.
Austin Jackson and Robert Hunt were both good draft picks.
We excluding the 1st time he played the Bills? How's that for an agenda?
i think about it differently. i think for the most part the window is open when you draft the right QB, have him on the rookie deal, and you have drafted well and surrounded that QB with a lot of talent. but then, the window shuts, for the most part, when said QB gets paid bigly. there has really been only one exception, that is KC with mahomes. potentially maybe buffalo with allen too, they just keep losing to mahomes. those two guys have seemed like the only two that can carry it.
