You barely gave one that kind of doesn't even count when you think about it..... and that's Flacco.... you haven't given me shyt........ You talking about Cousins had to wait on his money when he got over 60 million guaranteed from that inept ass organization whose name we will not speak of for being wildly average...... who the fukk yall think yall talking to?
QB contracts are just a built in excuse for trash gms’ failures. I’d argue Zeke’s contract is worse
get paid young man.
QBs affect the bottom line and are more scarce than RBs so that only makes sense. and if you believe you have a good one it doesn’t really matter what you’re paying him. Money can always be moved around to keep players you want to keep.QBs taking up a larger percentage of a teams salary cap than any other position. So Zeke’s contract is bad, but it won’t compare to the burden on a teams cap like Dak’s contract will.

GMs need to stand up to this shytQBs affect the bottom line, but they also hamstring your salary cap more than any other position depending on the quality of the QB play. Even then, it will become harder to keep the same level of pieces around them once their contract kicks in. It'd be one thing if you had Aaron Rodgers or Mahomes taking up 25% of your cap, but for players like Dak, Cousins and Baker? Nahhhhh.
That's the problem with the QB market as you have middle to below tier QBs resetting the market and getting more money than they deserve. The worst part about it is that their salaries are only going higher and higher which will make it harder to build a winning team around them. It's only so much money and flexibility you can move around before you have to pay the piper. That's what happened with NE this past season and why they had to go with Cam on an incentive laden contract.
The conversation didn't start with Dak and it's not going to end with him as well. The same discussion pertaining to Dak is about to happen with both Baker and Lamar as they are due contract extensions even as they aren't top 10-15 QBs.
He got hurt then retired iircDidn't they drop Moore half way through the season.
For what exactly?The conversation and debate around this contract has been so strange.
If I was a Cowboys fan I'd be in tears.

Goff and Wentz didn’t get the benefit of a doubt though when they signed their new deals. Everybody openly complained that their former teams were going to regret those deals. You can even add Cousins and Smith to that list as people were complaining about it when they got it. Flacco too because everybody knew he wasn’t worth the deal he got and was asking for.
Y’all gotta stop thinking that the majority of white people are out here caping for these white QBs getting these mega deals because it’s certainly not the case. Paying too much attention to what white people in the media and ESPN say.
Nah, heard plenty media cats justifying those deals. That's what I'm talking about.
"You gotta have and pay your franchise qb!"
"That's what the market dictates!"
And yeah you right about the media more than fans.
I'm just sick of the fact that all you have to do is show a glimpse of ability and promise and you get the benefit of the doubt in getting paid when you white. Black QBs who ain't exceptional don't get that. I'm hoping Lamar's deal goes smooth because if it were Trubisky who's had Lamar's success and record .....
You know what worse QBs have had more expensive contracts relatively speaking. The biggest mistake is that the Cowboys didn't pay him sooner when he could have cost a lot less.
This. They fukked themselves being hesitant when they've never done that before with "other' qbsYou know what worse QBs have had more expensive contracts relatively speaking. The biggest mistake is that the Cowboys didn't pay him sooner when he could have cost a lot less.
