Nacua is a beast for sure. Dude is doing it the right way and not worrying about a new deal. He's smart enough to know that will work itself out. Pretty sure Snead is satisfied with where his head is at now and expect him to be signed before the season starts or he'll get even more expensive.
 
I should've added... I don't know if we'll ever see a season like Kupp had in '21.. but I think Puka has become a better overall WR than Kupp was.. and that is saying A LOT.
Agree 100% on both points.
1) Kupp had the single greatest season a WR has had in the history of the NFL. He was robbed of the season MVP. No way rogers deserved it over Kupp.

2) Nacua vs Kupp? Both are extra effort guys. They block and run after the catch with a mission. Nacua, though, carries guys. He must be a bitch to tackle if you’re a DB.

Then there’s the catches. They both have their highlight reel, but Nacua’s is more impressive, IMO.

Kupp had the best season an NFL WR has ever had. However, if anyone were to best that my money is on Puka Nacua. He’s just hitting his Prime.
And there’s no need to compare the 2. It’s like comparing Godfather I to the Shawshank Redemption. Completely different movies both arguably the best ever made.
 
The clips I've seen of him in TC he looks faster some how and in interviews he seems to have a little more calmness and maturity about him. Time will tell but good start to camp.
I see the same thing with regards to his interviews. Last year when he was in his post season mini spiral, he seemed almost manic in some interviews. I even questioned if he was on some booger sugar (and got preached at for such a statement).

His entire aura seems calmer this season. That can only mean trouble for DBs and LBs across the league. I am positive that calmness is reserved for interviews. Dude is a warrior between the lines (no pun intended).

I hear you on the comp thing.. and it was only meant to express how incredible Puka has become, not to diminish Kupp in any way.
I mean.. my handle was Kupped for years, lol.
The movie comp I'd make would be Star Wars and Empire Strikes back... fits perfectly.
First one comes kinda out of nowhere and is just a sensation... sequel has to live up to such high standards.. and exceeds them.

I was gonna say, Godfather I and Godfather II but decided to throw in Shawshank Redemption to accentuate widely different movies but both being great.

Personally, I'll go with the original Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each movie (from Fellowship of the Ring on) was outstanding, and each sequel somehow managed to top the next; Return of the King is one of my all-time favorite movies.

The books will always be superior, and you obviously can't add everything that's good about the books to the movies, but I thought Peter Jackson did as perfect of a job as he could under the circumstances (especially since everyone thought the movies would flop).

The fact that movies and TV series oftentimes suck and take away all the good material that they had makes me never want to greenlight a series with any of my books. Period. Full stop. Over my fucking dead, ashy, cremated corpse. ...If I ever finish them. :(
 
Nacua facing possible suspension with decision coming soon. Bummer if he misses the niner game.

He believes. I’m thinking it would have happened by now if it was going to or it will happen next season. Maybe I’m wrong but has the league waited this long to announce suspensions before unless it was a slam dunk or immediate impact case? They’ve had this for months and it’s far from a huge crime as far as I can see.
