AFC Championship Game Pats @Donkeys News/Discussion

Bro should wear gloves


He should be practicing in bad weather every chance he gets.


Random day off, and it starts snowing? Get out there and throw in that weather.
Home with the wife and a cold rain hits? Great chance to get outside and work on your passing.
etc...

He did stay after the game on sunday and throw passes in the snow to his family.Granted, that's not really practicing, but it's encouraging that he wanted to do that.

Did T-Rex stay out there to let Maye's family waltz right past him?
 
Snow is not an issue. Neither is cold weather. Maye already has several great games in the cold.

It wasn't snowing on Sunday, it was a wintery mix, which is significantly worse. And the greatest defense the league has seen in many years also had a lot to do with it.

Every QB will struggle in that type of weather. I remember Brady putting up 6 points in Cincinnati in heavy rain in 2013. A good but not great team, with a defense that was certainly nowhere near what we saw on Sunday.

1. Every QB will struggle when he is getting dry humped by the opposing DE.

2. I heard Brady never struggled. Or fumbled. Maye invented both.
 

Teams should have one player exempt from the salary cap. They can pay him whatever, but it doesn’t count towards the cap. I’m happy the Patriots are in this prime position, but it’s really stupid that the league is set up for teams to excel when they have a star QB from the draft for 3 to 4 years before he breaks the bank. It’s stupid because it’s causing GMs and personnel people to strategize around this window. I mean look at where the Patriots are now versus where they’ll be in a four years when Maye is making like 75 million per year. It would be a lot more interesting if teams could have the one exempt player rule because then they could build the teams more organically with supporting casts rather than all of this crazy cap maneuvering that we’re seeing so often.
 
OH SHIT BRONCOS PULLED A FAST ONE!!! READ THIS! Rumor has it that Nixx injury wasn't as bad as Bountygate Payton made it out to be! It was a ploy to have the Pats plan for the wrong QB! Smart!!!
***I'm just f*ing you with. Wanted Broncos fans va-jay-jays to get wet for a sec!!!
🤣

High level QBs getting paid isn't really the problem, and we've got a bunch of teams to prove that, and one of the most interesting examples involves a team where the QB isn't even on the team (Denver, with Russell Wilson). But the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Rams (though Stafford is a relative bargain at about $44m per) have been SB contenders year after year, the Bengals have been considered so when Burrow has been healthy, and so on.


The problem really is more about when teams:

  • Pay high level money to non-high level QBs to the point of it limiting other moves (in order words, it's worked in Detroit with Goff, but not so much in Dallas with Prescott).
  • Miss big on high priced players at other positions.
  • Miss too many high draft picks for the QB to overcome the talent deficit
