Yeah, we are on the same page. To keep him, he had to get a petty substantial contract and they paid it. I don't fault them for that move at all and it was the right decision.
They know how to construct a team and draft, something we used to be good at a long long time ago, so the QB is not as important as in other places.
I think that had Hurts gone to a lot of other NFL teams, he'd have simply been a bust. Either a backup or out of the league by now. He's very limited. Plus, his body is breaking down the same way L Jackson's is. He won't be in the league much longer.
Burrow was the best from this class and its not even close.Dude has been sacked more than Andrew luck 212 times and still has 154 tds.If only Flores took the tank money and we would be in a totaly different situation. Would of, should of, could of, just like if only drafted drew Brees over Jamar flectcher,and then Brown over Rodgers,Culpepper over Brees again,Long over Ryan,not to mention Lamar jackson who Ross wanted.
I don't know, I have a feeling we would have taken Tua #1 overall. At least that's what Ross said he would have done about a month after the daft. Maybe he just said that to put rumors to rest that we would not have been better off with Burrow. Obviously that's not true. Flores wanted Herbert, and looking back right now, that was probably the correct move as well. I'm not sure we'd be a vastly better team with him, but at least he wouldn't be on the verge of leaving Miami. For Unlucky's comment, Hurts may not have made it in Miami, it's so hard to tell because we would have done everything different to adapt to his playstyle. No Waddle, for example, and likely no Tyreek. Maybe we don't trade Tunsil either and the rabbit hole that move brought. It's hard to project that without seeing it. And finally, for Lamar Jackson, I think maybe we have a Super Bowl ring with him in the Xavien Howard days. Lamar is not what he once was though and probably doesn't have a lot left...he's the same as any ultra mobile QB in that the career is never long. I love those types of QBs but I'd never draft a guy like that for fear of season-ending injury. But that's what we got with Tua so it's hard not to second-guess.
