No idea what is the truth about this whole situation, but your comment reminds of something Rick Pitino once said. He was once asked about what the biggest difference was between coaching basketball in college and coaching in the NBA. His response was something along the lines of, “if you want to get rid of a player in college, you either bench him or cut him. In the NBA, you increase his playing time and talk him up in the media for 2 weeks, and then trade him.”One thing is certain, Payton is clearly trying to increase Hill's perceived value. The rest can be debated, but there is no doubt Payton wants everyone in the league to believe Hill is a Franchise QB. How much is truth and how much is trade baiting... that's the real question.
So why isnt Sean talking up Teddy? Because he doesn't get anything if/when Teddy leaves. Why hasn't Teddy signed another contract? Makes you think Drew for sure is coming back. Makes no sense for Sean to fo all in on a qb who has thrown a handful of passes in the last couple of years. I can see a scenario where Coach Pete is right and Sean is trying to get a first for Taysom to package to try to get Burrow. Should he do it is another question.
Do you not have your own thread?WHOA!!! I've never heard this view before. Crazy insightful
Let me play out a possible outcome of your point. So he drives Hill's value up to get a 1st. Then we have 2 1sts. We also have a 26 year QB who went 5-0 and had not played a meaningful game in 3-years. Payton could be up to a couple of interesting things here. Combine this year's 2 1st, 2nd and next year's 1st and 3rd along with Kamara and get Burrow. Or he could be loading up with picks to go with Teddy while Taysom develops or not. Basically a competition between Teddy and Taysom while loading up with draft ammo to let go or trade some of our young stars that we are going to lose anyway for cap reasons.
I have no idea, but what you are saying is very interesting
Yes yes and yes. I don’t think the competitor in DB will allow a broken down Brady limp over his records. Your description of Brady and I totally agree with ioBrees is coming back. I’m 99.9% sure of it... However, should Tom Brady suddenly decide to retire before next season, then I think the odds Brees walks away escalate exponentially. Brees is ultra-competitive, and he realizes that he will always be considered “less than” the likes of Brady, Manning, and even Rodgers (by some)... Brees wants those records, and he doesn’t want to see a broke down Tom Brady steal them on his way out.
