Rumor has it that Kraft and BB promised him the head coaching job in a couple years if he would stay.

What a dumb move the patriots made in trading him

Wow. He gets more than Joe Flacco and did far far less to earn it.

But Joe Flacco is actually garbage.

Belichick is probably pretty pissed at that fact. It’s not going to be long before the Patriots come falling down

Titans hire Kerry Coombs, who was an assistant coach with OSU for the past few years, as the secondary coach. Based on Malik Hooker, Marshon Lattimore, Gareon Conley, and Eli Apple, I think I like this hire. Coaching is a lot in this league.

Tell me, what did Jimmy do that was better than what Flacco did?

100% career winning percentage.

Flacco had an unbelievable playoff run, and he used to be able to throw the deep ball with the best of them. Maybe he still can with some actual wideouts. But Garrapolo didn't have much around him in San Fran, either. They're paying him based off of dominating performances that he strung together, and he's young, and he's good, and he has an arm. I would have been hesitant to pay him quite that much, but I'll be surprised if the dude doesn't toss 28 touchdowns, so who cares, really?

Flacco did win a super bowl. But he does not deserve the money that he is making right now, not by any stretch.

I don't understand how fans of a city's professional sports team can destroy their City to celebrate a Championship win like the Eagles fans have been doing to celebrate their Super Bowl win. At least us here in New Orleans can celebrate properly without completely attempting to annihilate our city. Maybe we're just better fans than the rest of the league?

Nah, man. You forget, there wasn't a city to destroy when the Saints won. Katrina beat them to it.

Let's give an enormous contract to somebody who hasn't even played a full season at QB. There's no way that could backfire.

And yet, even with this contract, they'll still be towards the top (top 5?) in free cap space.

The Titans have put together a really nice coaching staff for next season, after coaching was their biggest problem in 2017. I wouldn't be shocked if they're a serious contender in 2018.

So are the Titans by that measure. Oh WAIT! Yeah, except Joe has a ring. No Titan has ever achieved that. Garbage team.

But truly, if you destroyed everything in the city that doesn't immediately surround Independence Hall, how much of value have you really lost?
