Making more money than those 'generational' 'game changing' WR and TE that he was passed over for in the draft.

Meanwhile his team has become a serious playoff contender, while the teams that took the WR/TE option have seen their starting QB suffer two season ending injuries and a revolving door at QB respectively, in the few years since.

Now let hope his brother can do well here

Lions spending a lot of coin.

Lions spending a lot of coin.

They had over $122m in cap space in 2025 before these extensions. Knowing how extensions are generally structured, they probably still have $80m in cap space for 2025. Utterly ridiculous.

This is what happens when you rebuild and do it correctly. A bunch of young talented players. Saints should take notes.

Yeah, Chase is a great WR, but you have to wonder how the Bengals would have looked the past couple of years with Sewell at OT.

Well, they opted to draft Chase instead of Sewell and they got to the Super Bowl that year. The Bengals have had bad luck with injuries to Joe and I’m almost positive that none of his injuries were a direct result to Oline issues

Lions gonna be cap strapped sooner than getting the Super Bowl win usually it happens the other way around

'Almost positive' isn't really moving the needle for me on this one.

Torn wrist ligament:-
'(Burrow) said Friday the injury likely happened on the play before, when he landed on his wrist on a hit by Jadeveon Clowney after throwing a 9-yard pass to Mixon.'

Joe Burrow out for season with wrist injury

The team confirmed the news Friday.

Torn ACL:-
'Montez Sweat, the Redskins defensive end, lined up on the right side of the line gets pressure first – Burrow sees him and steps into a throw, down the right sideline, to WR Tyler Boyd just before Sweat hits him in the upper body. Unfortunately, Burrow did not see the pressure from the inside of the line as defensive tackle Jonathon Allen makes his way through and gets blocked down directly into Burrow’s left knee just as he releases the ball.

As Joe plants his left leg to throw the ball, he gets hit in the upper body off his right side by Sweat, pushing all of his weight onto his planted, extended, left leg while, at the same time, all of Jonathan Allen’s 6’3” 300lb frame is driven through that planted left knee. Obviously, the knee is not built to handle this kind of stress'

Clearly no pass protection or OL adequacy issues there at all...

Just as an aside, it took all of 30 second to find those two articles. Before you rush to post any old nonsense as some sort of gospel, in a vain attempt to hold a ridiculous position, maybe you could just stop and consider the actual facts of the matter for a few moments? Crazy idea, I know.

That's all they'll ever be with Goff. He scares quite literally nobody.

It's only going to get worse when Ben Johnson leaves.
