It wast that bad of a deal…. They only owed him 5.9 million.As a nice win for the Mets. Calculating out the return given a reasonable hurdle rate...inflation, the Mets won in reality. But it makes for fun headlines for those that don't consider the future value of money.
He easily could have been paid off the bat, invested it, and ended up with significantly more. The Mets treated it like a cheap annuity and got away with it. Like the powerball folks...if they gave you an even worse annual payout deal.
I think he has looked better for sure.
He really has improved his deep passes, which we've seen all season except Q2-Q4 of Vandy in the rain.
Also looks more decisive as a runner.
Oh Lawd............Here comes the "ESPN hates UT."
Hard Rock Stadium will be extremely orange for this one, as Tennessee makes its first New Year's Six bowl appearance in the CFP era. Both teams have had quarterback changes, one because of injury (Tennessee's Joe Milton replacing Hendon Hooker) and the other because of performance (Clemson's Cade Klubnik replacing D.J. Uiagalelei). Clemson doesn't have opt-outs for bowls, and the Tigers should benefit from having Myles Murphy, Bryan Bresee and others against a Vols offense that, even without Hooker, packs a punch. The Tigers also can start to build behind dynamic young quarterback Klubnik.
Prediction: Clemson 42, Tennessee 31
Rain and slippery fields naturally make the WRs slower...Versus Vandy when game was on the line he overthrew 5-6 WRs which would have been TDs including one horrific miss to Fant down the middle. In close games those are difference in win or loss. Rain doesn't make you overthrow WRs. I want to believe in him and have hope for next year so I am really rooting for him to have a good game vs Clemson
Did you really just say “when the game was on the line”…did you watch that game? Good god man get a hold of yourselfVersus Vandy when game was on the line he overthrew 5-6 WRs which would have been TDs including one horrific miss to Fant down the middle.

Yep…. Heup won’t hesitate to make a change.Imo this feels like a Kelly Bryant/T-Law situation.
We will bank on the veteran and let the freshman qb develop. But if the leader doesn't produce (which I really really hope he does, because his ceiling is limitless) we'll have one HELL of a backup situation.
