The best laid plans of mice and men …
It was all laid out so perfectly for Tyreek Hill in 2024.
At only 30 years old, he was entering yet another year of his incomparable prime.
Coming off perhaps his career year, and back-to-back 1,700-plus yard, All Pro seasons.
Plus he had probably the most productive offseason in NFL history:
No defense could stop him.
No birth control could stop him.
In 2024, through four games he has 217 yards, total.
Right now he’s at 7.5 targets, 4.25 receptions, and 54.25 yards.
Right now he has one touchdown, on his way to anger and despair.
I mean, look at this broken man.
He was America’s It Guy.
The one who was reinventing offenses and his profession at the same time.
What he did for Tua’s career was extraordinary.
But being a great coach isn’t about how you do when everything is going according to plan.
It’s how you do when everything goes tits up.
Especially at the beginning of a season.
He’s got the best wide receiver of his generation.
A member of the All Decade Team of the 2010s who has actually gotten better in the 2020s.
And if losing your starting quarterback in September means your season is effectively over?
Not only is that on you.
And I am here for all of it.
