I agree, and I would do it, and it has to be done when you're paying your QB that much money. The Packers certainly should have done it with Rodgers. But look at the alternative... How many times in that postseason run were they one play away from everything going wrong? Now imagine the Rams right now if they hadn't won the Super Bowl. Look at that future. Stuck paying old players 20 million dollars and no help coming in the draft, no cap space available for free agency. Stafford is back to Lion days of poor teams. He'll likely never return to the postseason. What the Rams did are what teams need to do when their elite QB is 37-40 years old and they're prepared to start a rebuild. The only thing the Rams did I wouldn't have done is trade first round picks. You can live with losing second round picks and beyond, but if your season goes against expectations and you end up missing out on a top 10 draft pick, you're not recovering from that for years.

Ie deshaun there is know way we even make the playoffs this or next. We only have a 2nd round pick Berry's record with 2nd round Delpit Jok Emerson Play in the linebackers core and secondary is almost down 15 places on nfl rankings. Defensive lineman 127 and 128 ranked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken over 13% of the cap once in his entire career. BECAUSE HE WAS MARRIED TO A BILLIONAIRE And not only that, he wasn't taking those discounts on purpose and taking them pissed him off and is why he left NE and went somewhere, took a ton of money and won. This is such stupid, singular causal analysis it's incredibly incoherent and meaningless, you can take any singular framework, apply this kind of half assed causality to it and make it "real". It doesn't make it real. Tom Brady taking less money was a once in a lifetime fluke that only happened because his wife was richer than him, that's never ever ever happening again, and no team is going to not pay one of these quarterbacks the money they deserve to do this. And like, your own example points out the idiocy here, Tom Brady won 7 championships in 20 years, that's going to inherently muddy the argument! That's obviously going to point to that one statistical cause being significant because he's such a transcendentally aberrant figure in NFL history.

MacReady Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 @Thelonebillsfan, I find it sexist for you to believe there can be no more billionaire wives. Frankly, if I was a 21 year old QB entering the NFL, I would marry Alice Walton and then take the veteran’s minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating QBs should be paid 20% of the cap but I understand why they do. I just think it's an unwinnable battle and it is what it is at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be adding prerequisites after putting the terms down. And you’re being generous, thinking it’ll take the Texans 20 years is like assuming the Jordan Love pick wasn’t a massive bust of a pick, or assuming paying Aaron Rodgers $50mm at 38 was a good idea. You can think it, but the truth is CONSIDERABLY worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
