So Glad the NFL isn't like the NBA

QBs (especially media friendly ones) should make ~40% of their teams salary.  Their job is highly competitive, ratio QB stars to recruits is huge and they really do lead the team in the new passing era.  Reward excellence accordingly.  The position is none like in the NBA and the NBA is nothing like the NFL in their salary spread numbers.     If they have a vibrant personality and are fun, then they're invaluable asset to the greater NFL.  Those guys are $$.  Get them $$.  IT'S ALL ABOUT THA MONEY!!

The "cant beat them so join them" mentality is horrible for sports.  No way around it.  

 

He got paid.  Great.  

 

 

100% agreed. You hardly EVER see NFL players jumping ship to the team that beat them during the playoffs or superbowl. And if they did start doing that, the league would be ruined just like the NBA is now. It's getting ridiculous.

Are you really going to fault a guy for chasing a ring and going to the best possible place to do it? At the end of his career that is all he will be remembered for any way. How many rings he won not how noble it was of him to stay on OKC winning 0. Shame on OKC for not being able to put it together to win one.

They DID put together a very good team and coach to win one. Thing is, Durant continually comes up short in the playoffs. He's supposed to be the alpha right? Well, shooting the way he did in THREE closeout games didn't help matters, and now he just bolts them because he couldn't get it done? Not a good look. Not faulting a guy for chasing rings, just the way he is doing it. I would have had more respect if he went to the Spurs or Celtics and tried to take out GSW or Cavs in the conference finals. Now THAT would earn respect. But going to an already historically good team with 3 already proven superstars is just too easy. He'll have his rings though right?

I don't like the NBA so it doesn't matter to me but how in the heck is joining the spurs any different than joining the warriors?? They are both perinnieal playoff teams who have won the championship in recent history.

Also, he can't control when his contract is up and he is able to leave.

No they didn't. The team given to him only sniffed the finals once and got blown out by Lebron. 

 

Dude doesn't need your or anyone else's respect. The man made a business decision and he probably knew he would get flack from butt hurt plebs mad he didn't choose their team. More power to KD.

Durant and Curry bonded over choking away 3-1 leads.

They still won't beat LeBron though. THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!!

They were a game away of beating them in consecutive finals. A shot or two would have made the difference.

Didnt Deion Sanders do the same thing in the 49er's-Cowboys days?

Lebron would have never went back to Cleveland if they didnt have a Superteam waiting on him.

Not in the same ballpark.  

Lebron's Cavs are barely a playoff team without him. 

Durant is joining a team with a 2 time MVP and 2x Finals participant, 1x NBA Champion and the best regular season record of all time.  The two aren't comparable.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
