Tom Brady - Successful hair-plug surgery Josh Allen - No need

I am a full believer in you reap what you sow. Mixon is going to catch quite a bit at some point in his life, in various ways I would imagine, that will be retribution for his actions. It's just a matter of time.

Does this surprise anyone?

Yeah, this is a bit misleading with them trying to pigeon hole off of a single game. Bernard, ok, you can knock that pick. He was mainly just a ST's guy. Elam got much better as the year went along. Benford had some flashes early, while also making some rookie mistakes, but then he gets injured. Shakir, that's on the staff for not using him more. He made some plays, he let some plays get away. Cook was clearly on the up and up as the season went along, this after a rough start. I don't know that anyone was expecting anything out of Spector this year. Araiza had his legal issues and I knew Tenuta was a wasted pick. It's still very possible we snagged at least 4 starters out of that draft.

I actually think the Raiders might be a preferred spot for A-Rod. Reuniting with Devante and no state tax on his $$$.

We either sucked or were in 7-9 purgatory for the vast majority of 17 years. I came through that just fine. Give me a Lombardi and then 8-10 years of anonymity. We'll always be able to have and talk about "our year" just like the 1972 Dolphins.

The hug or the encouraging words?

Like someone noted in another topic, where is that Jim Johnson defense that McDermott was raised in? That's what we need.

He coached in Lovie's Tampon 2 defense. He'll fit in perfectly here.

Yeah, he needs to add some "good" weight to his frame. 10-15lbs will do, and he can do so while retaining his explosiveness.

Motor is alright, but he's slow. Shifty, a quality blocker, but slow. We can find a late round RB or UDFA with those same traits. He's also not a short yardage guy either. The $$$ can be better spent elsewhere. D'Onta Foreman could be had for cheaper than that and is a better option for what we need.

He retired

Yes, but has VanNess started his undetectable steroid regiment?

Yeah, I really doubt that. With his extensive injury history dating back to college, and now the concussion saga in the NFL, I don't know if he even gets a 2nd contract.

Uhhhhh, if he is found guilty then he faces a lot more than a hefty fine.

No one is going to give Jones $45M per season. DJ's agent:

I kind of expected this. It's a year too late for him on a personal level. He basically destroyed his family to come back for an 8-9 season and a 1st round exit in the Playoffs. There's really nothing left to prove when you have 7 rings. He also has $37M per year coming his way to call games. Hopefully he let's it go this time. Father Time is undefeated.

The 4 SB's for me were 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade. It taught me how to love my teams, but be able to detach emotionally and not let people get to me. A lesson learned due to the fact any given day 400 people could end up mouthing off to me about what happened. Do I still get frustrated by things at times and carry it in the moment, or a day or two after? Absolutely. But the people who say things can't really get under my skin.

It works for the teams who draft well and spend the rest of their $$$ on the right people.

He's been out of the game for a year, not a long time like those other two were. I'm just talking about the situation he's walking into. No draft capital, a crappy/phony/diva QB, and in the same division as Mahomes and Herbert.

Just because you have a Franchise QB doesn't mean you have to have a bad team around them. You have to draft well and spend the rest of your $$$ wisely. Brady, Ben Ro, Mahomes, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, and so on. All of these guys took up large portions of the Salary Cap and still had good enough to win the SB teams around them.

I say it's just the nature of the beast. You have to navigate the situation and draft well is what it boils down to. People will continue to get paid other than QB's, with some teams investing more in them than others. QB will always remain a large chunk of a team's salary cap, especially those fortunate enough to have Franchise one who gets to that 2nd contract or beyond.

So.......the Broncos have zero draft capital for the next 2 years pretty much, a craptastic phony for a QB they are tied to until 2026, but hey, they have Sean Payton.
