I frequent a Colts blog called Stampede Blue and it's clear that Matt Ryan is to the Falcons as Peyton Manning is to the Colts. Been seeing a lot of posts like these:




Much different than the Eagles fans who hit the boards after the Wentz trade, to either goof on Indy or send their sympathies.

This bodes wayyyyy better than Wentz for the Colts.

They will need to have Ryan get the ball out quick since he’s so immobile, but I think it will work out far better than the Wentz fiasco.

Vikings sign Za'Darius Smith.

He's not as immobile as you might think...

Wow Tyreek might be a available. He is a true game changer.

The Jets and Dolphins are finalists for Hill!

Whoa, that's a serious gamechanger for KC! It seems so much of the play design is dependent on him being able to dust just about every DB he's up against.

Traded to Dolphins for 5 draft picks.

Tyreek Hill goes to the Dolphins! As per Adam Schefter.

Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

Boy, teams just tossing out first round draft picks like it's going out of style.

They've seen the Rams. The league will be different now for a long time I think.

The Jets' offer was actually worth more by the draft pick point system and was accepted by the Chiefs. But Florida has no state income tax and Hill lives in Miami in the off season. So, he picked the Dolphins.

does anyone else believe that this years NFL draft is seriously lacking in talent?

No, but it isn't a good QB draft.

I understand that is a mountain of cash, and he has shown incredible talent, but I wondered if he struggled with the concept of leaving Mahomes and the chance of going to multiple Super Bowls, and putting up Hall of Fame level numbers.

money talks.......a lot.

I also think that already having one ring radically alters this math. While the ability to win multiple super bowls starts moving people into the upper pantheon of football players, the reality is the legacy difference between 1 and 2 is much smaller than between 0 and 1. But landing a $30 million a year contract is life altering in a way that maybe the kind of contract he'd have had to sign in KC to keep the band together would not have been. And with Hill already being a 6 yeah pro - and a speed guy, not a possession guy - he has to know the clock is really ticking.

He must not have struggled that much. The Chiefs offered him a hefty amount of more money. But he wanted something heftier. SEE Davante Adams' contract with the Raiders — raising the tide of WR paychecks everywhere. That pretty much derailed the talks with KC. Tyreek wanted the stratosphere. On the other side, from the KC point of view, it frees up money and helps avoid a future problem with the payroll cap. There are also some rough edges to the personality side of Tyreek (i.e. his reported history of abuse, along with possible ego problems). Plus, at age 28, he's not going to get any faster. In addition to that, it kind of felt to me like the classic Chiefs-Raiders rivalry would have become the Tyreek-Davante Game over the next few seasons. Something they both probably would have enjoyed. Apparently Tyreek may have liked that big paycheck rivalry idea better than the prospect of being attached to Mahomes for the rest of his career for a much juicier ride to the HoF. The Dolphins? Really? They've only hit double figure wins twice in the past 18 seasons, with a grand total of two Wild Card losses. My brother says Tyreek has now become just another fast receiver out there. It seems reasonable that a thinking person wouldn't have to struggle very hard with those kinds of legacy elements. Money vs ____ .... well, not versus anything... just $$. Maybe new scenery, maybe not. That's my take anyway.

Wentz = Neo Whale Vomit
