@murksiderock I agree with you, fam. I am far from a curmudgeon, but that list digusts me, too. Love was good, but very inconsistent last year. These announcers go crazy when you make an unirthodox throw. Stafford gets that same stimulus. Makes an amazing, fancy throw but still making boneheaded decisions that he has been making his entire career. Trevor is a guy the media pushed to no end and everyone else ran with it. Had a shytty rookie year and got a pass because of Urban Meyer, yet we watched Andrew Luck shine as a rook with Chuck Pagano as his HC..

Luck had Arians, those deep drops were a gift and a curse.



Agree with your take on Love, they rushed to crown him.

Just like the max contract on the NBA, just feels like this has nothing to do with how good you are.


Once you make it to a level where you are considered to be "good enough" it's just about when you sign.


But one thing is important to note, most of these guys are not making that guaranteed like Watson except Dak.

Seeing that list brings back the bad memories of Philip Rivers...being in San Diego and making the Chargers my adopted team once I decided to stay here. Seeing him race to the bottom after those good Chargers teams in the mid 2000s aged out or just left. The talk radio guys in this city had him in the hall of fame after like 5 seasons. Once LT left and it became fully his team he never did anything of not, other than put up empty stats and throw the " game losing" interception.

Mahomes not being on the right is the craziest thing to me. I'll be damn if I paid a QB more than Mahomes, his contract should have been the benchmark. Only guys deserving of making his kind of money are Lamar, and Burrow. Possibly Allen and he ain't listed either :dead:
Smart of him not to be overpaid. That helps his team get more good players and win more Superbowls. Notice how Tom Brady isn't on that list either. Because this happened right before he won all those rings in the latter half of his career.


The most GOAT play of his career. Meanwhile 90% of the teams who went on a long with that "Pay that man!" shyt ended up crippling themselves for the better part of a decade.


Pat knows what he's doing :salute:

The money from a lifetime of endorsements and opportunity for being a super bowl winning QB >>>> The money from a contract that ruins your teams competitiveness

Yea thanks for the reminder. Bruce won Coach of the Year while Chuck was undergoing chemo/radiation. Which led to him getting the Arizona job. I still maintain what Luck did was highly impressive, though. Yes, that offense, similar to the Mike Martz one, will get you punished.

Goff deserves it, too. He's winning 9.7 games per 17, which isn't elite regular season winning but it'll be over 10 by the end of this year...

More importantly we've watched him take two different teams to conference championships, two different coaches, so he's not simply a McVay product. He's won his division 3x and been to the playoffs 4x in 8 completed seasons. He's got a Super Bowl run under his belt, 7 of the guys on the current list don't have that, and right now Hurts can't be placed in the same category as Goff and Burrow. He hasn't proven to be a consistent winner and from a skill perspective he's not as accurate nor as consistent a passer as Goff nor Burrow...

The best quarterbacks win and they win often, it's the most important characteristic you can have as a quarterback. You win in spite of roster or coaching deficiencies. I'm hammering this Goff point because people want it both ways with him, and not necessarily saying you do...

You have people who say he wasn't good enough for McVay but if he's a McVay creation he wouldn't be able to go to Detroit of all places and win. We've seen mid quarterbacks struggle with a solid team around them. Then people will say how good Campbell is as a coach but Campbell was an unknown, unproven coach when Goff, who wasn't unproven, got there. Goff struggled some in McVay's system but McVay has admitted he was too hard on Goff and he didn't like him, he said he wishes he'd handled that relationship differently...

Goff had a .677 win percentage with McVay as his coach, vs a .519 win percentage in Detroit. He's played 8 completed seasons...

Padford has played 15 completed seasons and has a .556 win percentage with McVay, vs a .448 win percentage in Detroit. He's had twice as long a career as Goff to this point, I know exactly who Stat Padford is. Goff has won more in Detroit and he won more in LA, Padford was the right, older, mature QB to step in the moment to push a veteran, already consistent squad over the top in '21. But there's no doubt to me McVay could have won a Bowl with Goff had he nurtured that relationship more...

Goff deserves to be Top 10 paid because he's one of the 10 best quarterbacks alive. Padford has always been borderline Top 10, in that sense he and Goff are similar but he's done way more losing than winning, which is some Eli shyt, it's not Top 10 shyt...

Excuse my rant, I just get triggered when I see Padford or see people downplay Goff! 🤣

Only quarterbacks who deserve to be among current Top 10 are Burrow, Goff, and Lamar. Two of those guys have led Super Bowl runs and multiple conference championship runs, so you know those two are winners, regardless what cats wanna nitpick about them...

The other one has won two league MVPs in his first 6 years. I don't know how much of a winner he truly is but he wins a LOT in the regular season and the MVPs speak for themselves...

All 7 of those other guys are overrated like a mf and the NFL is tripping turning into the NBA just giving max deals to any random nikka with "talent". Most of those other 7 have never won a big game in January where it matters, hell they mostly sitting at home watching The Tournament with the rest of us...

The 5 years ago list was bogus, too. Eli Manning never won a single playoff game outside his two Super Bowl years, mf played like 16 years. Losing record overall. Derek Carr never deserved any Top 10 payday. In 2019 Stat Padford had never won a game that mattered and even here 5 years later he gets super gassed from that anomaly Super Bowl run, this white boy been playing 50 years and one year of his career is not like the rest...

But 5 years later I gotta listen to nighas tell me he's a HOFer 🤣 like I didn't watch this man's entire career...

Cousins is the modern day innovator of QBs getting these max NBA deals, yet he's never earned that on the field. Cam had one lightning in a bottle year, he was always overrated. The rest of those guys earned those paydays but were old and on their last legs in '19...

@premier58 the today Top 10 really disgusts me. I haven't engaged too much on football season yet but I'm about to ne active as hell, I got some thoughts!
This how I know Burrow is overrated. How the hell does his one super bowl run(that he didn’t win) from 3 seasons ago, count more than Eli Mannings two actual super bowl wins? :dead:

This the shyt I’m talking about with burrow. :dead:

Because he did it in his 2nd year. Because in 4 seasons, he's been hurt two of them and had his season cut short. Do you hold anyone else's injury year against them?

Because in two uninjured years he had his team in a Super Bowl and the AFC Championship, in two years he doesn't get hurt he has his team in The Final Four...

Listen, at some point the bill will come due for him and he's nearing that point. But he instantly brought winning culture to a team that hadn't won a playoff game in like 30 years before he got there. He's the only guy who consistently plays Mahomes to a draw, these other guys have maybe a game they go toe to toe with Mahomes but they are consistently outplayed by him. If I'm paying a guy a Top 10 salary I need to know he can match Mahomes' level...

Burrow is also the only active guy to beat MaWhiteMan in the playoffs. And was on the precipice of doing it again...

Burrow is worth the hype and the money, and again, the bill will come due sook enough. Right now, Y5, 4 completed seasons, he's worth every dime...

This is no comparison to bytch ass Eli who was a turnover magnet (Burrow isn't). Eli, who managed to play 16 years but was sitting home in January 10 of those years...

I'm giving a guy Top 10 money who only gets us un the playoffs less than 40% of the time? And he can't even use Burrow's injury excuse because the waterhead mf was an iron man and always healthy...

Eli, who only made the playoffs 6x in 16 years, did you know he never won a playoff game, NOT ONE, outside of 2007 and 2011? This jughead pasty played 14 more years besides those 2 and never won ONE playoff game. He had two Flacco runs...

He had two Padford runs...

Except, even Padford and Flacco won playoff games outside their Super Bowl years...

Listen, you'd never give the SB back. It counts and Eli was great during both playoff runs. You can't even say if he got you to the playoffs you were money because yhe 4 (LOL) other times he got you to the playoffs he lost. He was a guy if you gave him an aggressive, versatile defense with a dominant pass rush, + an elite running game, you could possible catch fire and win it all...

2007 and 2011 weren't what he was his whole career, though. This cracker has a .500 career record, Mr 8-8. You watched this dude play, he was not a better football player than Joey B!
