This might be one of the most important (positive) trades for us since our SuperBowl loss.
Because we might do something I had given up hope on, win a playoff game that matters since our SB loss...
For the first time in at almost five years, I think we have a shot at winning something other than a wildcard game!
That has been my dream for this team since that loss.
One of our best players on the team is now playing the most important position, other than QB, for the success of our team.
That we traded a few 1st round picks is immaterial when we have one of the most coveted players in football (A stellar all-everything QB) for a limited amount of years. You need to get everything you can from him now, because over time that advantage will fade.
If the linchpin for the success of our defense is safety? Even if the rest of the league undervalues it? Then you get the best safety in the game, or as close to it as possible.
I literally have hope for us in the playoffs for the first time in a long time! (no, wildcard wins do not count, you are SUPPOSED to win those if you are any kind of potential contender or playoff peril)
I am so stoked.
