The commissioner's face was hilarious.. The confusion 🤣🤣

[@kingpen6432]

It would have crashed and burned.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The only thing as wild as the trade is the contract he signed. It had a theoretical contract value of $68M but to get any sizeable chunk of that money he would’ve had to play better than anybody in history ever had for seven years. And even then it’s hard to figure out how it gets to $68M. But essentially you can figure out how to get it to $63M but that would’ve required that he hit 10 or 20 possible incentives all seven years, break the NFL rushing record each of the first four seasons and that absurd performance of those four seasons would have gotten him a huge escalator bonus for the final three seasons. And he didn’t get anywhere close to any of it. There was a study of a bunch of the best running backs in history by using their seven best year stretch of production in their entire careers and what they’d have earned under Ricky’s deal. Emmitt Smith would have earned the most using his stats from 1992-1998 and he would’ve earned roughly $35M of the potential $68M. What shows even more how horrible of a deal it was Ladanian Tomlinsons output for his first seven years, which we all remember how absurd he was, he would have only earned roughly $17M of the potential money. This is a back who had 1,200+ yards each of those years and 10+ touchdowns each of those years and despite being that elite he’d only have made 1/4 of the potential value of the deal. Everything about his career was wild. The trade made for him was absurd, the contract he signed was absurd, and the stop and starts in the league because of his love of the flower was wild.

The thing is, Rivers is an amazing QB (just last week he set an NFL record completing 28/29 passes and 25 straight to start the game). The organization (the Spanos family) is just not committed to winning. Having watched the Chargers for years, it's clear that Rivers has done his job and done it well his entire career.

Chiefs trade for mahomes belongs on future lists

[@NickWuebker]

Absolutely. People thought the Chiefs were crazy for trading up 18 spots to get him. All I have to say is : Who's laughing now?

[@pp3k3jamail]

@@NickWuebker As a niner fan I wanted the niners to take even DeShaun Watson or Patrick mahomes. The 49ers fleece the bears into thinking that they were going to take Mitch trubisky. So the bears gave the 49ers a bunch of picks just to move up one spot to the number 2 pick and the bears took Mitch trubisky. I thought the 49ers are going to take DeShaun Watson with the number 3 pick or Patrick mahomes but they took Solomon Thomas lmao. Also congratulations to your chiefs but Patrick mahomes shouldn't been super bowl MVP. it should have went to Damien Williams the running back who had 115 yards rushing caught 4 passes for 30+ yards and had two TDs. Patrick mahomes had two interceptions and fumbled twice. If Damien Williams was somebody like Adrian Peterson or Marshall faulk he would have got the super bowl MVP.

Jeff George =Jay Cutler

[@robschumann9665]

Jay Cutler is an excellent comparison. Cam Newton is another QB that let his ego outgrow his talent. They are all players who are legends in their own mind. The NFL seems to have had quite a few of those. Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt was one and the Rams Lawrence Phillips also comes to mind. Players that have the skill and talent to be the very best in the game but fail to see that hardwork and dedication to your team wins championships. Imagine if Cutler or George had Doug Flutie’s passion and selflessness in playing the game.

[@ozzcooper]

It was a great trade, but the Bettis trade was outright theft. HOF back and a high 3 for a low 2 and 4.

[@algini12]

No safety leaps over 2 lines to sack the QB in a single bound. Makes INT's 2 inches from the ground. Comes from off the TV screen to catch speedy WR's and make them look like they are in slow motion. I don't care WHAT Reed or Lott's numbers are, no safety has done the weird, strange, and inhuman things that Troy did. He's the best safety of all time on athleticism alone.

[@willjeffrey2285]

People thought Bettis was at the end of his career? They traded for him after his 3rd season in the league lol

And he had 3000+ yards in those 3 seasons with 15 TDs so its really confusing.

Prior to his NFL career, Steve Young was a member of the Los Angeles Express in the United States Football League (USFL) for two seasons.

[@MikeyG-13]

Yeah, but the Express had offered him a 10-year, $40 million contract. That was enough to convince Young to sign with the USFL in early 1984. He agreed to take his payment in the form of an annuity paid out over forty years to help the team. As far as Testaverde, the reason he threw as many picks as he did early in his career is because the Buccaneers figured out he was colorblind. That's why the team always wore white jerseys.

Eli vs Rivers... I don't see how they can say with a straight face that it was roughly an equal trade. Rivers is a great quarterback and they say is always in contention but in 13 seasons has never won the playoffs and has never even gotten to the Superbowl. Stats wise Rivers is the far better QB but in actual wins Manning is the better QB as he actually gotten to the big show and won two times against the Patriots who were favored by pretty much everyone to win. So in an objective comparison the Giants got a much better deal than the Chargers as at the end of it all, getting to the show is the ultimate prize. edit: Oops forgot to mention Eli also lost 2 for a total of 4 times going to the SB while again Rivers hasn't gone even once but yeah, equal trade right?

They got a guy that’s going to be the greatest of this next generation (while not giving up anything of consequence) and the Texans walked away with Watson (not a bad qb but definitely no Pat Mahomes)
