Why did Miami do this deal?

I give you rep comments about a great many things including football takes.

The only time I engage you like this is when you, once again, go in your stupid diatribes about team building and passively aggressively suggesting that those of us who wanted Mahomes are somehow now getting what we deserve. Don’t pretend that’s not what you’re doing either - MANY people have seen it, not just me.

I don't know if your assertion that I OPPOSE building around a drafted QB is just wrong or purposefully deceptive, and at this point the distinction is of little utility for me.

That has never been my position, and I've stated it clearly and unequivocally NUMEROUS times, . . . so it trends to purposefully lying to assert it against me now.

The point is, a drafted QB is supposed to be the foundation to give you a leg up, not a point to settle into the easy chair and say 'we did it' everything's fine now. We have the thing that will fix everything we neglect from here on out.

Buildng a winning franchise is a comprehensive effort, and if you aren't maximizing your potential, you're squandering it as it ages and gets richer and accumulated injuries.

Aside from his cap hit, there is nothing about acquiring Mahomes that says anyone in the building gets to take a breath and take it easy. And that's the problem I've been critical of. And the more time passes, the more his cap hit erodes our capacity to compensate top-level talent and effort, so pursuing excellence becomes a time-intesified endeavor as soon as you have that component that makes you a potential champion.

And none of that merits your tact with me. But I'm not your daddy, comport yourself as you see fit.
