MLS....come to STL!!!
Final thoughts on Matty Ice.
Firstly, yes its a stretch, but, secondly, ask yourself, has he ever been the QB we all think he should be? I mean a career full of guys like Roddy White, Julio Jones, Michael Turner, Tony Gonzalez, SJAX, Freeman, Coleman, Sanu, Ridley...shouldn't he have better than just "better than average" numbers, year after year? Never led the league in anything statistically meaningful, no Super Bowl wins, a 4-6 playoff record..at some point, don't you just realize that he's a slightly better, but much more expensive, Andy Dalton? In 2 years he's gonna count 40+ million against the cap..sure a 20+ million dead cap hit if he's cut or traded, but that's still significantly cheaper. Its not at all out of the realm of possibility..all I'm sayin'...
I'll add to your final thoughts here - I think he's been what the fantasy community wants, for whatever that's worth.
was #2 overall behind Mahomes insane season 2 yrs ago, backend QB1 last year, which is where he usually ends up. But you do make some great points as to why the real (not fantasy) football minds could be thinking of changing horses in the near future.
And I still blame Quinn for the 28-3 debacle, not Ryan. So the dude should have a ring under his belt, which is the only true measure of real football success, fuck stats, stats are for the fantasy crowd. W's, trophies, and profit are all front offices care about.
