Far-right bams have a bonkers conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift is a CIA agent and that the superbowl was rigged so the Chiefs won it so she could give a "vote Biden" speech after the win so Biden wins the election because she has so many fans.

He won't be coaching for much longer and he Mahomes won't have the longevity of Brady. Mahomes is definitely a special talent. Andy Reid is also a special coach. People have rightly said the same about Bill Belichick and that Tom Brady would not be the same QB without Bill…how’d that work out. You say he won’t have the same longevity as Tom Brady, but you never know, just look at that picture below and tell me you’d have predicted Tom Brady to even last until he was 40. The thing that will stop Mahomes catching Brady’s Super Bowl wins for me, is the money. Tom sacrificed a lot of money throughout his career…to win. He could have held out for more money, or even left for another franchise for more money. He chose to restructure contracts so that there was more money around to pay the other guys, because winning and his legacy seemed more important to him. Mahomes has already strangled the chiefs with his contract he signed. It remains to be seen what he does going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought you can, loosely, compare the positions in American Football to rugby union. American Football did originate from rugby after all when it first started. Quarterback = Scrum half/stand off Running backs, or linebackers on defence = Centres Wide Receivers or corner backs = Wings Safety on defence = Full back Tight End or defensive end = Flankers/No.8 Centre or nose tackle = Hooker Guards or defensive tackles= Props Offensive Tackles or defensive ends = Second rows Some are a bit easier to translate than others, and the defensive side of the ball in American Football isn't quite so easy, but there is some resemblance throughout the sports.

Forgot about FA. We've a ton of cap space available this year, over $60m. We will likely be looking at tying up St Brown, Goff, Sewell and Hutchison soon. So we've plenty space to tie up those 4 and still have the funds to make a splash, hopefully at CB and S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (steelers) still need to offload a few and probably restructure deals for 3/4 of the bigger earners for 2024, after the 3 released yesterday we're currently about $7m over cap but depending on the salary cap number for the year we could be anywhere upto $20-25m over Allen Robinson is a $10m saving if he gets cut A new restructured deal for Cam Heyward could save around $9.5m and another $7.2m could be saved by doing the same with Alex Highsmith Finally 3 others that could be cut to save nearly $10m in March bonuses are Mason Cole (Centre), Patrick Peterson (CB) and Larry Ogunjobi (DT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a coach just sticks with the same game plan in the NFL, he’s not going to be a HC much longer. Yes, it didn’t work out for him in that Super Bowl, but nobody would have been saying that if his D had held the lead he had them with with 1:57 remaining in normal time, or if his D had held the lead he had them in OT. You cannot stick to the same game plan all game in the NFL, it’s like a giant game of chess constantly evolving. You have to give credit to the Chiefs D which after a slow start, then stepped it up.

PortyJambo Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Lot of work for the Dolphins to do this offseason, they're well over the cap and have several FA's they'd likely want to keep (Christian Wilkins, Connor Williams, Robert Hunt, Van Ginkel, etc), so the GM will have his work cut out. They only have 4 draft picks as well, due to the stupid dolt of an owner, Steve Ross, tampering with Brady and Sean Payton (they've already lost a 1st round pick last year, and are losing a 3rd round pick this year). There are several options to restructure current contracts, and sign players to extensions, that will make the cap ok, but doubt we'll be big players in free agency due to having to re-sign so many of our own.

luckyBatistuta Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I’m not keen on Mahomes as a person, but think I’m going to rein in my hate for him and go along with Adam Schein’s take on him. You should just appreciate greatness when it’s presented before your eyes… Last year at this time, I put Mahomes in the top five. Now, he's No. 2, behind only TB12. Mahomes has leapfrogged Peyton Manning, John Elway and, yes, Joe Montana. Shoot, Pat's been a starting quarterback for six NFL seasons, and he already has the third-most playoff wins ever, behind only Brady and Montana. He's 15-3 in the postseason, including 9-2 in games where he trailed by at least seven points. Absurd. He's the fifth quarterback in league history to win three-plus Super Bowls and third player with at least three Super Bowl MVPs. Add that to his two regular-season MVPs, and this 28-year-old is wildly decorated. Mahomes piled up 210 passing yards and 59 rushing yards after halftime on Sunday, carrying Kansas City to the NFL mountaintop once again. Never hate on No. 15. Always appreciate the sheer greatness of a majestic player/leader who has a knack for flourishing at winning time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
