    MVS is having a productive run in New Orleans.  Why couldn’t we have made better use of him in our scheme?

     

    He has 2 reception for 36 yards. They scored 14 points. You and I have different definitions of "Good Use"

    And these stats are used by their fans to say Tua is better than Josh

     

    They're legit on finheaven right now fighting because half their fanbase is posting Tua's stats about how he's one of the best QBs.. like they didn't score 3 points in the first 2 and a half quarters. Also, the side argument that them not being able to score points was solely the fault of the defense is gold. Gold, Jerry!

    I hate the dolphins as much as anyone,  but it's ridiculous how bills fans reach for reasons to criticize them when they give us plenty of real reasons.  3rd qtr in a 2 possession game is not garbage time. 

     

    It was garbage time when the 3rd quarter started. What was the dominant formation used by Green Bay's defense in the 1st half? What was it on the last drive?

     

    Do you know or is it just 'dumb talk'?

    Maybe there's something to this cold thing with the Fish.  I always just thought it was because they happened to play superior opponents on the road.  Those two Tua overthrows were bad though.

    ..or winning teams. They have not won against a team with a winning record either. That's the one I think it important.

    I've seen the team without him.  Don't mistake Miami being "a threat" with me saying I think they are good.  He's just the best player for how they McDaniels wants to run his offense.

     

    Him being a better QB than Tim Boyle, Skylar Thompson, and Tyler Huntley doesn't make the Dolphins a "threat".

    I would argue being able to get out of a "Franchise QB" deal worth upwards of $45M/year after only 2 years and having only $22M in dead money IS crafting a deal they can get out of.

     

    Especially when you look at contracts like Tua's and Trevor Lawrence's. Not even mentioning QB contracts like Watson's or Dak's.

     

    It was a 4 year deal so saying "after only 2 years" is a little silly when they have $47.1 million in dead money this year and $22.2 million in 2025. So taking a 70 million dollar cap hit (or almost 50%) of a contract is structured as a 'deal you can get out' in anything, but the most literal of terms. Sure, pretty much every contract in the NFL can be 'gotten out of' if you want to take a ridiculous cap hit.

    The playoff win against the Vikings Daboll's first year as HC set the Giants back two more years.  There's been speculation that Mara wanted Jones resigned and Schoen capitulated to a deal they could get out of. No clue if that's true.

     

    It'll be interesting to see if Schoen/Daboll get a chance to make their own mark with the Giants instead of trying to make things work with the hand that Gettleman dealt them: Jones and Saquon - both highly questionable picks where they were selected.

     

    Well, it's probably not true because it was a deal they couldn't get out of until now and even then they're still eating a big ole bag of **** with it...

     

    Also, they went against the owners wishes with Barkley and Schoen was literally quoted saying he wasn't gonna pay Barkley so their "45 million dollar QB" can hand off to him. The giants have gotten worse each successive year since they were "saddled with Gettleman's roster". These narratives that Shoen and Daboll are just unfortunate victims of a meddling owner and circumstance are wild.

    Almost none of the criticism most GMs take is fair since most of them are making the best decision for the team at the time with what they have to work with, and then the universe works out differently.

     

    This is what I think makes Beane a good GM. He doesn't let the mistakes box him in and keeps as much flexibility as he can.
