IS THIS THE END OF OUR TWO HEROES? AND RYAN TANNEHILL?
I think some have you have already guessed this plotline but I hope you are enjoying this because I’m losing a lot of sleep to bring you this nonsense.
I speak only for myself but I love every minute of it and I’m barely a football fan.
Checkdown to Mercury?
This is easily the most entertaining thing to happen this offseason
I mean…this was kind of inevitable. Flacco started the money train, but he had one of the best playoff runs by a QB, ever, and did so in a contract year. I can’t blame him for getting his.
However, it set off the money avalanche with a line of thinking: if you could have a supherb defense and run game, and an ok QB who got hot at the right times, you could make a deep playoff run!
And it’s TRUE. You can get pretty deep or win with a Nick Foles or Case Keenum if you drop them in a talented squad. But you also got Brock Osweiler and Sam Bradford getting ridiculous payouts driving up the market even more.
Flacco and Tannehill aren’t *bad* QBs. (As a Bills fan, I’ve seen plenty of those) but the QB market has become so hyper inflated that after a few years those contracts become milestones.
My solution? Let defenses play. Stop treating QBs and WRs with kid gloves. Make it worth the money to invest in every other position on the team.
But no, that won’t lead to Madden like scores and won’t stoke the Fantasy Football engines, so that’s not happening.
/end rant
I still think you should add big ben to this storyline. I mean, technically he belongs there!
Of course Wilson would have the Napoleon complex.
The best of the offseason. Where will our hapless heros and Tannehill end up?
So the next step, someone shoots Russ out of the cannon…. hmmmmm Big Ben?
I love that Bort seems to have no actual clue about the situation.
Bortles is a national treasure
It came.
RIP in space, our dear sweet mediocre QBs.
At least Bort seems cool with it, still taking jabs at Wilson up to the last moment.
I’ll miss their interactions… *sniff*
That angry Russ face is the best bit of drawing in the history of the Draw Play.
I’m going to steal it at work tomorrow for my Jira avatar.
It’s cute how Russ thinks they’re in the same category as the basketball players
Or baseball players.
