IT ****ING HAPPENED
OP UPDATE: Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

Also for some players maybe Super Bowls really are more important than money. They've got enough to be comfortable for the rest of their lives. Is Florio arguing that all players should to want to play on a dysfunctional team with no future like the Texans for $60M guaranteed vs. $55M guaranteed with a great team like the Chiefs? That's stupid. Plenty of players would rather take a little less to be happy. |

And the truth is, his contract didn't hamper them one bit. His contract didn't put a cap on QB contracts thereafter as Florio implied it would.

Dak Prescott is a good example. He argued to Dallas that he’s not as good as Mahomes, but he wanted $40M per year which was $5M per year short of Mahomes’ deal. If Mahomes chose to simply go with the market price of $35M in 2019-2020, a guy like Prescott ends up with around $32M per year instead of $40M per year.

The money will be spent. The NFL has a hard ceiling and a hard floor. The amount of money spent on players in any given year is almost pre-ordained. So what Mahomes and any other QB demanding huge money does is simply takes money from other guys. Maybe it's a shell game where they have to let a player walks to then goes to some other team but then THAT team is spending money on someone that they'd have spent on someone else. The money doesn't go up or down as much as it goes side to side. But what that random QB said was he felt he had a duty to take less than he could've because he KNEW his career would be two or three times as long. He had so many years to make money in the league whereas his teammates were going to be lucky to get a 2nd contract after their rookie deal. There's a smart way to say this and then there's Mike Florio, so I'm guessing he said it in some vaguely unintelligible way that confused people. So either he said something reeruned in substance or he said something intelligent in substance but reeruned in form. In either event - **** Florio.

It changes where/how the pie is sliced but it doesn't shrink the damn pie. Again - this is pretty straightforward shit.

Here's Corn Dog mic'ed up. Interesting with Kelce telling Toney to stay under control. Like you don't need to juke yourself out of your shoes on this one. |

He didn't watch the play - he looked for the read key and knew it went to plan. These guys were just absolutely locked in.

I saw some dude with the Giants saying Toney doesn't have weird hamstrings or muscles he's just lazy and doesn't train hard enough to be prepared properly.
