I'm picking Marino all day and twice on Sundays. Better leader, better pure passer, did more with less, and even though he was immobile, he rarely got sacked.

1983 draft.

The Chiefs took Todd Blackledge at #7 over Jim Kelly (#14), Tony Eason (#15), Ken O'Brien (#24), and Dan Marino (#27).

Blackledge was easily the worst QB of that group. I'm glad I'm not old enough to have lived through that. lol

The Chiefs wouldn't use another first round pick on a QB until 2017...

That’s not my problem. He won 2/3 of the last 3 MVP awards. I want him on my team, and he is contracted to be on my team.

I don’t have an incentive to sell him at a discount.

Two 1s, a 2, and two 3s is probably enough to get into the #1 pick where they can get a young QB with long-term potential on a rookie deal. I speculated on his trade comp a number of pages ago but if I were GM probably a 1 and a 2/3 would get it done. Even better if they have some pass catchers or defensive backs to sweeten the deal.

Less than $15M in available cap space.
$60M cash due to the quarterback.
Declining performance, older age.
Potential replacement entering final year of his rookie contract.
Tired of the drama/retirement talk/waffling/media attention.

There are lots of potential reasons to move on from Rodgers. The cap, cash and his performance in 2022 are all big incentives.

I am a Rodgers fan, but, that's a haul for an almost 40 year old QB.

I’m sure you know how the cap works better than me, but doesn’t a trade hurt worse than the existing schedule for the coming year?

I didn’t want Jordan Love in the first place. I don’t factor in his cheap contract. Rodgers’ drama is hugely over exaggerated by Cowherd etc. His performance may be declining, I don’t know. He won 2 of the last 3 MVPs.

The option in Rodgers' contract doesn't have to be exercised until the 1st week of the season if they so choose. If they do a Post June 1st trade, and split his deadcap, then they would take a $15.8M hit in 2023 and $24.5M in 2024.

It would free up $15.8M in cap space for 2023 and save them $59.5M in cash this year and all of that $59.5M in spread out cap (the $15.8M saved this year, and the remainder on future years).

Former Philadelphia Eagles DE Hugh Douglas has been a sports talk show host here in Atlanta for several years, he just took a job back in Philly BTW. He told stories about trying to get to Marino, said he got close enough to smell his cologne a few times but could never get him down. He said that was his biggest regret as an NFL player, Marino made a lot of them miss so getting to him was the goal of many.

In a scenario where both guys came up in this modern era of football? Marino.

teams don't have private jets? are they flying commercial and some won't allow players in first class?

well, I guess if you only have 8/9 flights a year, maybe commercial is the best option (I was thinking NBA/MLB where they travel for 41/81 games a season).

Some teams have jets, but I think most charter planes.

I think the Chiefs just charter regular United Airlines birds. I don’t know how many first class seats there are, but it’s not enough for a NFL roster with a bunch of big dudes plus execs that don’t ride coach.

At no point in NFL history has a conference been more loaded than the NFC in the early-mid 90s.  Between that and the Bills in the AFC (people can laugh about the 4 Super Bowl losses in a row, but that was still a great team) I think the Steelers might have won one Super Bowl in the early-mid 90s.  

The late 90s would’ve been their best shot at a 90s dynasty, but by then time had taken it’s toll on Marino.  His last 3 seasons were 3 of the 4 worst of his career.  Maybe that still would’ve been enough though.

A. The AFC of the '70s was more loaded than the NFC in the '90s. The Dolphins, Steelers, and Raiders were better in their era than Dallas, SF, or Green Bay were in theirs.

B. The '90s Steelers were one player away from beating Dallas in the '95 Super Bowl. Quarterback. If that QB was Dan Marino, they not only would have beaten Dallas in that year's Super Bowl, they most assuredly would have gone to the previous year's Super Bowl and possibly beaten SF.

At no point in NFL history has a conference been more loaded than the NFC in the early-mid 90s.  Between that and the Bills in the AFC (people can laugh about the 4 Super Bowl losses in a row, but that was still a great team) I think the Steelers might have won one Super Bowl in the early-mid 90s.  

The late 90s would’ve been their best shot at a 90s dynasty, but by then time had taken it’s toll on Marino.  His last 3 seasons were 3 of the 4 worst of his career.  Maybe that still would’ve been enough though.

A. The AFC of the '70s was more loaded than the NFC in the '90s. The Dolphins, Steelers, and Raiders were better in their era than Dallas, SF, or Green Bay were in theirs.

B. The '90s Steelers were one player away from beating Dallas in the '95 Super Bowl. Quarterback. If that QB was Dan Marino, they not only would have beaten Dallas in that year's Super Bowl, they most assuredly would have gone to the previous year's Super Bowl and possibly beaten SF.

A. I’ll give you the Packers (they were a great, but not all-time great team), but the Cowboys and 49ers were two juggernauts that I think would’ve had a dynasty in any era.  If it wasn’t for the 49ers the Cowboys would’ve almost certainly won 4 Super Bowls in a row and if not for the Cowboys I think the 49ers would’ve won 3 in a row.

B. That is the one year I was referring to.

Some teams have jets, but I think most charter planes.

I think the Chiefs just charter regular United Airlines birds. I don’t know how many first class seats there are, but it’s not enough for a NFL roster with a bunch of big dudes plus execs that don’t ride coach.

teams don't have private jets? are they flying commercial and some won't allow players in first class?

well, I guess if you only have 8/9 flights a year, maybe commercial is the best option (I was thinking NBA/MLB where they travel for 41/81 games a season).

I think the Patriots are the only team with their own airliner. The rest fly charters and the seats are configured differently, they aren't going to stuff those big guys in coach configuration. It's probably more like business comfort throughout the plane with fewer seats than us pleabs fly on. American dropped a few team charters after realizing they could make more revenue on regular commercial flights.
