Griffin is the exact same thing.
Number one prospect in baseball, but the way that he's being talked about in similar conversations like Soto and Trout, and for the people that say like, oh, well, you could always see how he does the first year and explore it later on.
No, there's a huge boom potential here where he ends up, I don't know, is there four or five hitter by July?
By August probably.
Sure, Churria was that for the Brewers, but I imagine that Griffin's going to be a better player and have a better career.
So you want to make sure you walk him up as quickly as possible.
And $140 million, $150 million, if they're willing to offer that.
I can't imagine a 19-year-old kid just walking away and saying no.
and still hitting free agency in your prime.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the last two years it was Eagles' dominant pass rush, and now we saw Seattle's dominant pass rush.
Two defenses that really didn't have any holes in it, which makes it even more critical to poke holes in the Steelers' defense because it's the highest paid in the NFL and there are multiple holes on it.
So yeah, I think you make a good point there with defense can still win you championships.
I also kind of look at the offenses on either side, though.
Is it because the pass rush was so good that New England couldn't protect Drake May and that the Chiefs couldn't protect Mahomes a year ago?
Or is it because the offensive lines on both teams were poor?
Will Campbell was a turnstile.
4 overall pick this past year for the Patriots.
The Chiefs' offensive line was all banged up.
But I didn't think they'd win the Super Bowl.
