Why did Miami do this deal?
Yes, most of us don’t care about other teams. But if you do, explain their rationale. It doesn’t make any sense on its face. You never say never in the NFL but does anyone think they can possibly win the division over Buffalo? Does anyone think this makes them better than NE?
1). BetUS moves Miami all the way up to 11th in the AFC, tied with Vegas at +3500 to win the SB. The Chiefs didn’t even budge, going from +800 to +850: https://www.betus.com.pa/miscellaneo...k&promo=FLURRY 2). Vegas Insider puts them at 17th now to win SB: https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ This means they’re still a few slots away from even getting a WC road game. And they gave up a lot of draft capital and salary for the privilege. If Indy or Arizona or Dallas etc did this deal it makes sense. Are they just desperate to make a splash? |

They are an extremely poorly run franchise.
They could have Herbert, Ja'Marr Chase, and their 2022 first and second had they merely stood pat and made the right choices. Instead, they have an injury prone game manager, Waddle, Hill, and an extra $30 million per year in annual obligations.

For the record, I could have worded that better. I was saying that the Dolphins are irrelevant but not the dregs (Lions and Browns are the dregs). |

I don't really get it for them. The trade guarantees they'll have him for five years beginning immediately. Getting him in FA in a year wouldn't allow for that guarantee, so they gave up compensation. That compensation, though, was significant for that guarantee.

They should be a budding dynasty. They should be terrifying right now and for the next 3-4 years at least. But instead they need Hill to even be remotely relevant.

Reid and Veach were here pre-Mahomes, so I'm asking what the CP line is.

I know they sunk themselves early, and I'm sure there are plenty of tomato cans they knocked around in that streak, but I also think you're sleeping on relevance at the moment.

I think it's pretty obvious why Miami did this deal... and we'll find out soon if Tua is worth a damn at QB. Miami now has a nice set of weapons on offense.

You only do this type of trade if you have your franchise QB in place.
Tua is not a franchise QB, regardless of how hard the Dolphins will try to convince themselves otherwise. |

Does foregoing usernames fall under veiled vitriol?
And, for there not being an approved line, there sure is a lot of pushback when lines are nudged.

Against the easiest schedule imaginable. They're still limited by their noodle armed qb. Although, Mike McDaniel is a hell of a football mind. Tyreek as a yac guy in a sf type offense is kind of interesting. Toward the end of his kc run he was kind of becoming that guy anyway.

There's only 1 other person in the history of CP to suggest that there's some kind of groupthink clique here that shouts down any dissenting opinion. One only needs to read this thread to see that there's no such thing as a Planet party line. |
