Specially since it's one of the richest countries in the world. Don't you think there's a correlation there with GPD etc? The healthcare part is a different story, but when I lived in Europe ( I loved it) it always amazed me how little some countries worked and their high unemployment rates etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greater if you factor in purchasing power parity (PPP GDP) though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I want Jordan Love to be the Terry Bradshawest QB since Troy Aikman. I want him to be average AF with a knack for key moments in the postseason. I’m sick of having era-relative GOAT quarterbacks who get ****ed with no defense while getting paid too much. Or I want him to fizzle out so quick after his first Super Bowl win we can get rid of him quickly. Both since the Packers clearly can’t get it through their skulls how beneficial it is to trade a QB before re-signing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The healthcare part is a different story, but when I lived in Europe ( I loved it) it always amazed me how little some countries worked and their high unemployment rates etc. Obviously it's gonna be a factor. But personally I don't see the benefit of having a very large income if you cannot enjoy it as much as other or if a large chunk of your population is screwed if they get sick. Once you get to certain amount of wealth I feel like time and freedom are more valuable than being able to buy fancier things than what you have. And yes, we work much less than you guys (specially in Northern Europe, where they work the least). My contract says I gotta work for 35 hours each week and I get around 45 days a year of fully-paid vacation. Obviously not everyone is that lucky, but it's pretty common thing. Regarding the unemployment rates, it varies from country to country. Where I live (Spain), there's high unemployment rates in the southern part of the country (it's an endemic problem). Other countries, such as Netherlands have some of the lowest employment rates in the world. I just feel like if you had a law that stated a mandatory month of vacation (or something similar to what we have) you'd be one of the most attractive countries where to live in, if not the most.

It’s not an either or option either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can get a decent deal on a QB if you extend them after year three instead of waiting until year 4 or 5. Especially if Love is good not great at that time. Also, given his forth year salary is going to be minimal. It has never worked for a team to keep swapping out QB's every 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I really don't think the Love pick was the right move for the Packers organisation. now Rodgers, Adams and Z Smith are not happy in GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
