People need to see that a internal cap doesn't mean that are cap isn't 81.5m but might only be 70m in actual money paid out, depends how creative Adams and company get.

I do fully understand the situation.

I'm glad you understand, guess I should have worded it differently, wasn't really directed at you.

Now you're using single games? Come on, man. No one is saying you don't need a complete team, but having a great QB puts you ahead of those that don't it's just that simple.

The Pats Titans last year had the Pats at 71.1% to win when the game started, Ravens Titans had the Ravens at 82.7% to win when the game started.

The Saints Vikings had the Saints at 62.1%.

Only the 49ers had a higher chance to win of the games you listed at 72.4%.

The Chiefs were 65.5% in the Super Bowl.

The only one game sample size I used was the super bowl last year and that is because Mahomes needed full support to win that game.

Yes a team, not necessarily a “QB”.

You coined a nickname for me and refer to me as Flacco because I say that teams don’t necessarily need Elite QB to win and can win by having a strong running game and strong defence, essentially by having a strong “team”.

Even teams with Elite QB play need a strong supporting class.

Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford haven’t even made the playoffs recently.

Aaron Rodgers lost to a team that put up 200+ rushing yards last year.

Kirk Cousins beat Drew Brees last year.

Tannehill took out Brady and Lamar last year.


Mahomes doesn’t have a chance to come back if the defence doesn’t hold the 49ers to field goals and hold them to nothing in critical points of the game.

Vikings, 49ers, and Titans were all teams that predominantly won that entire season by running the ball and playing great defence.

Unless you are going to tell me Cousins, Goroppolo, and Tannehill are elite QB’s.

Henry was a wrecking ball last year. The 49ers won both games leading up to the Super Bowl and Goroppolo attempted barely any passes. Dalvin Cook was the MVP of the Vikings offence last year

Yes, I do understand that.

Yet, at the same time, only what 5 other teams were worse than the Sabres.
I'm really only interested in the Sabres, well, Bolts too.
Fact remains this is such a grand opportunity, with only 10 players signed, to greatly improve the roster.

We don't have a 3rd to give.

Flacco and Foles have as many rings as Brees and Rodgers.

So I guess is as infrequent as it is to field an elite defence, it is just as infrequent for an Elite QB to win a Super Bowl.

It takes a team.

Foles stats from the playoffs

3 games 971 yards 6 TD’s

They won passing the football

Very interesting, a lot of money to take back, but Tuch would definitely be a great add.

It seems you should do some trading w/ Vegas now that they signed Lehner and have to trade MAF!
Maybe get MAF (no salary retained) and Tuch (sweetener) for Hutton, Mittelstadt, and a 3rd.
Vegas has $8M to re-sign RFA's and shop for an FA
Sabers have improved goaltending and a solid top 6 forward!

- HenryHockey


I'd only give them Hutton and a draft pick...Taking that contract alone deserves the sweetner...adding Mittelstadt is an overpayment

Elway did not win a ring one until Davis got there and ran him to 2.

Manning went forever with one ring, one his second one when he was essentially useless.

Kyle Shanahan choked last year and allowed the Chiefs to win their first. He lost because he abandoned what worked the first 2 and a half quarters.

Foles couldn’t even beat out Trubisky this offseason.

He caught lightning in a bottle. Days more about the coach then Foles.

Yes that is a lot of salary. I think Vegas will have to comply.

I wouldn't give Vegas anything for Fleury as he's been subpar the past 2 seasons, and he still has this season and next left on his $7M cap hit deal.

I wouldn't even if Vegas retained 50%, unless Vegas really sweetened the deal by adding something of significance.

It’s alright. I live in the belly of those two teams fan bases so it’s hard to not remember. And the company I work for has its corporate office in Indy and I do a lot of my work just outside of Chicago. Indy is typically exciting on offense because of their QBs and WR but CHICAGO is always boring.

That would've been the Baltimore Colts, not Indianapolis. They didn't move to The Crossroads of America until '84. IJS
