And holland is a very good young S. If Beane did this, we would be falling over praising him. That’s a hell of a haul for real life. Can you name a better trade in recent nfl history to get that many players for one Player? also, did we forget how bad the Fins were like 3 years ago? They were thought to be one of the worst teams in nfl history. I don’t truly believe in Tua but it’s pretty remarkable what Mike Grier’s brother had done. He’s a really good GM. Bills Fins might be a thing again. And the Pats will be garbage. The 90s are so back! Yeah, those four players are good/great. Four. Good for them. They got marginally better. They got FOUR good players with 14 picks, 7 1st rounds. If that was Beane's record we would be calling for his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fins are giving up a late 1st for a double digit sack potential guy to pair with a good young pass rusher. They should be happy and they are better today. We still have the better team and the bills will beat them by million in Buffalo, but the fins got better. It’s ok to say it. Not salty. Totally agree they got better & have built a good squad. Just wondered if given the all in moves they may still be building with Tom in mind next year. But you make a good point that Tua is playing better than Tom, so this is probably the long term plan.

Nothing I've seen out of Chubb to this point in his career could be used to describe a guy performing at an elite level. This year he's registered 5.5 sacks with 4.5 of them going in games against Houston and Indianapolis. I think Miami acquired a good player that will help their defense but is he the missing piece that will push them to the next level past the Bills and Chiefs? I just don't see this as some deal like getting Reggie White or Bruce Smith in their primes. I think the Dolphins bigger problem is at QB. Not to say Tua isn't good, he is, and he's playing at a high level this season. But my one word to describe him is "fragile". He just doesn't seem to be a guy that can take the hits a QB is subjected to or stay healthy. I agree but the Chubb pick up helps their defense a lot. They are still behind the Bills in talent mainly because of Allen vs Tua. However, I think Miami closed the gap a little bit. They are clearly the second best in the division and chasing the Bills. Analyst David Carr has the Dolphins going 12-5. They are formidable and have already beaten the Bills. Their win comes with an asterisk but it's still a win folks. I don't think we can sleep on the Dolphins. They are going all in as well. Edited November 2, 2022 by newcam2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Not sure what to make of the Dolphins future, as they have a ton of guys to pay with not many draft picks. (nevermind the QB decision) That said, they are as top end talented as anyone in the league after this move. At the end of the day - they’re still going to have to deal with the fact that once we get to the Playoffs, they have Tua, in a conference with Allen and Mahomes.

They have at worst the 3rd best set of receivers in the nfl, a double digit sack guy, and a good young safety. That’s quite a haul from a LT. I personally would be very happy with beane if he did that, like how the Diggs trade turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he looks totally checked out and Tua has been pretty solid this year. Though I’m sure if Brady really wanted to come to Miami, the fins would move Tua. plus, Miami is heaven for old, rich, divorced guys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphins are a legit contender with Tua, it's what the factual data shows. And the MVP talk is gaining steam again considering they are undefeated in every game he's started and finished this year. And by landing a premier defensive player it will help shore up their defense which has been an issue at times this year, mostly because of injuries anyway. Again, I know some fans here don't really care or believe there is any real threat to the Bills, but I still think this will be a tight race especially given the Dolphins upcoming schedule which is very favorable to stack some wins before their next matchup with us.

Stop. You're making stuff up. There is no MVP talk. His odds right now are +8000 which is even with Geno Smith and 2000 behind Derek Carr who is +6000, depends where you look but he's not remotely in the MVP conversation. He's thrown 2 TD in only 2 games this year lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 It is a gamble based on his injury history, but if he can stay healthy he is a more talented player than Maxx Crosby who got $23.5m. He is not an elite edge rusher in the Bosas, Garrett, Von Miller and Watt class but he is in that next tier down. So risky, sure. But if it pays off he is a stud. The mistake they made was paying Emmanuel Ogbah way too much for what he is. His sack numbers the last two years were nice... but most of them come in blitz packages or as coverage sacks. He isn't a $16.5m a year rusher. Don't know how easy that deal is to get out of either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to worry about him for another 3 seasons. That's a stretch of a hypothetical at the moment. Also, Von will more than likely be gone by then, the market will be completely different, and so will the salary cap. We have a lot of people coming up on contracts before Groot. But if his play warrants it, and we want to keep him, you pay the man. These are Chubb's career stats. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ChubBr00.htm His best year was his rookie season, he has missed a lot of time due to injury early in his career, and it doesn't really seem like the $$$ matches the production. Glad the Dolphins made that move and hitched their wagons to him though. Time will tell how it plays out, but this move doesn't make me nervous in the slightest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge rushers are this year's wide receivers. You are finally seeing front offices as they have transitioned to a younger cadre of GMs realise you have to pay stars at the premium spots. And if at edge rusher you end up paying a very good player elite money but you still get very good production, who cares? What you can't do is pay the role players like Emmanuel Ogbah like they are very good players or overpay non-elite players at the non-premium positions like off the ball linebacker, running back, tight end, guard and safety.
