....and yeah, Margus Hunt was a HORRIBLE reach.....and not very good. Maybe the Colts think they can coach him up, the Bengals sure as hell couldn't. I guess Margus is the new Nate Livings and Anthony Collins for some folks.....they signed a WAY overpaid FA contract, so that must mean they're good.
Fred is always bringing up all these people that hated Justin Smith. I loved the guy and didn't know anyone that acted like he was terrible. Maybe a "mild" disappointment compared to the hype. Maybe there were some long lost posters from the old board that hated him, idk. I'd say they were in the extreme minority though.
I'm not sure why the Colts paid Hunt what they did. Not that 2 million per is a lot. It's actually a very small salary for a DE...but it's more than I would've paid. Maybe they appreciate his kick blocking skills?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
