I don't even think the Chiefs have even drafted that exceptionally. They've just got superior coaching in Reid and Spags. Reid always knows the right 5 yard pass to call to Kelce, which is all they need to do because Spags has a defense that is stingy enough to keep every game close.
i specifically noted mahomes and allen as an exception. tell me again why trevor lawrence should have the same deal as mahomes?
No, they haven't drafted exceptionally well but they have added young elite/good talent which is the kind of talent infusion you need to keep that window open. Trent McDuffie is an all pro CB, Nick Bolton is a really good LB, and Karlaftis is a good edge rusher and all 24 and under. Throw in good coaching and the window remains open for a few more years until they have to start paying these guys.
I think the window is open until Chris Jones and Kelce are gone. Heck, it probably stays open after that, but it's gonna be such a different environment when those two are gone. They're the foundation that everything is built around.
McDuffie, Karlaftis, Bolton, Chenal, Sneed, Chris Jones, Bryan Cook, I'd say they've drafted pretty, pretty, pretty well.
KC drafts really well, on both sides of the ball. Check their roster. I don't know what sport you guys are following. Spud makes a comment that they don't draft well and you go, "yeah, you know they don't".
I agreed they don't draft exceptionally well. If Spud doesn't think so I'm not going to presume to know what his standards are for an exceptional draft. We all have our own standards plus not really in the mood to argue about another team's drafts since I don't really give a crap about the Chiefs.
I guess I'm at a higher level of literacy than some of you. Saying haven't done something exceptionally well isn't they haven't drafted well. In fact, it's saying they've drafted well, just not to an extreme level.
Context matters but I get what you’re saying. However, the ‘83 fins were going no where w an anemic offense and that’s why the coaching change was made. We were 2-3 or 3-3 on the strength of our defense when Dan got his first start. I think you’re trying say that Marino took over a good team and Tua did not? If so that’s fine and interesting and all :)
Except Marino sat in the gun for a million snaps. More to the point, he was far more athletic than Tua. Yes, the man who could have been a pro baseball player as well as an NFL QB had better feet, quickness, bigger arm, faster release (could get it out in under 1.6 seconds and still have it travel 30-40 air yards) and finally…..better hands. Are we really comparing Tua to Marino? Wow.
This HC sucks and is a fraud.
You are right, neither has stars at Wr anymore because both are on second contracts but Buffalo’s offense is averaging 29 a game, which is #3rd best. KC is averaging 24, which is #10th best in the league. I would not categorize either as middle ing. They both have quality lines and top defenses because those 2 guys can get it done with less at the skill positions and those teams spend their resources on their lines and D. It will only get worse for the Phins as Tua’s salary escalates in the coming years, while the Dolphins cap flexibility continues to be bottom of the league. They better start drafting a lot better moving forward.
Not sure who I feel worse for. Us or that 1 team we beat.
Agreed. Whether we think he’s worth the money is irrelevant. Had we not extended him (which I’m on record saying I wouldn’t have), and he had gotten concussed as he did, AND he came back like he did - he was going to get paid at least that much. The way the team performed with and without him raised his value a ****ton.
