NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Heatles84]

Yes I’m skeptical of Tua as well, that’s why I don’t like their chances

Chances at what?

 

[Wamu]

certainly says a lot when literally no one has anything good to say about you...

The fact his own former teammates have nothing good to say about him should be an eye opener for him. But it probably won't even phase him.

He's so arrogant he probably thought teams would be lining up to trade for him.

Of doing much at all

I'll disagree there, I think it more depends on what McDaniel does as a coach. I don't think the Dolphins are a SB contender, but I think they have a legit shot at the playoffs.

In theory, if Mahomes is worth the investment already made on him, this is always the right move. If you’re really a top 3-5 QB in the league (and some argue he’s the best) then you shouldn’t be WR dependent. You shouldn’t need a top pass catcher for you to be effective. All you should need is competent NFL starters. In fact, that’s ideal. Make the defense play you honest so your QB can make the right decisions with the ball.

Yes and Hill was supposedly playing hardball

Average division and I think McDaniel will help get the most out of the offense. Having said that, we'll get an answer if Tua's that guy or not, so far I'm skeptical.

Also, depends on what your definition is of "chances". I think the Phins have a shot at the playoffs. I'd still say Buffalo is in the driver's seat in the division.

They spent a lot of money on OL and weapons, plus they still have the high-priced CB's Howard and Murphy. They have the pieces but idk, it's all up to Tua and a new head coach. Definitely an interesting team in a very crowded AFC. The AFC is going to be insane. Very lopsided AFC-NFC

He's not that good either

"they assume Watson did nothing wrong"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Holy hell some Browns fans on other sites are actually trying to say Watson did nothing wrong? Now that's a great laugh.

at least say they don't believe he did anything wrong.

My GUESS is he did something that could get him fired from many companies but something he'd go to prison for? That I'm not nearly as sure.

 

[dtgold88]

I mean, the old saying is"where there's smoke, there's fire". So I'd say 22 women can't be wrong...

So on this one I have my unbelieve-ium force field up...

Pretty sure wasn't close to 22 but how many lied in the Duke Lacrosse case?

 

[fightinfunbags]

And he has that right for sure. He’s earned that money. He’s one of the top WRs in the league.

1 person. The others made the mistake of taking her at her word.

 

[dtgold88]

On that I disagree....he can be a gamechanger.

 

[fightinfunbags]

For real? He’s one of most dangerous men with the ball in his hands in the NFL

 

[Heatles84]

Are you talking about Hill? I'm going to disagree completely on that.

AFC is so stacked.

who stays at home:

Chief with Mahomes
Bills with Allen

those are your shoe-ins I would say

2nd tier is a big tier

Browns with Watson
Chargers with Herbert
Bungles with Burrow
Ravens with Jackson
Broncos with Wilson
Raiders with Carr- traded for Adams, signed Chandler Jones
Dolphins with their additions- Hill, Armstead, RB's, etc.

Steelers have a defense and running game
Pats arent bad

AFC is freaking loaded.

I can say with confidence that Watson did not do anything criminal- unless there is something out of left field that has just not been discovered yet.

A grand jury declining to even bring charges when that bar is so low is a very good indication that Watson has not had criminal behavior.

scummy behavior? lewd behavior? unethical behavior? we shall see- but yah likely.

AS I said the other day- supposedly over half of the 9 accusers who were brought by the grand jury had text messages/social media messages bragging about the money they might get, and over half thanked Watson for hiring them and told him they would be glad to work with him again.

 

[tlance]

Just saw it. Good luck, Cheetah...

Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Looks like a “Patriot style move” to me.

They trade the elite asset for a haul before he gets paid and before he regresses.

Then they use the draft picks to stack younger, cheaper depth.

Usually these types of deals don’t play well for the team acquiring the high prices star. We shall see how much it hurts KC in the short term.

This is accurate. Can we say that the Chiefs are the runaway now in that division? I'd say favorite, but not runaway like Buffalo is.

Also, the West also has to play each other, twice. Same with the North. I wouldn't be surprised if the Phins end up 9-7, 10-6. That relies heavily on McDaniel and how he translates; as well as how he works with Tua. Like I said earlier in this thread, we'll know if Tua's legit now. Upgraded OL, RB, and now you've added a top 5 WR in Hill to an incredible talent in Waddle. Tua's out of excuses.
