Not really. 5 years is a long time is sports, especially football. Half of the 1st list aint playing anymore. Those that are are in their mid 30s and beyond now. Only 3 guys on the 2nd list were even in the league 5 years ago.
Top paid QBs now....vs 5 years ago.
- Thread starter Remote
- Start date
It used to actually be worse than that. Sam Bradford got $50 Ms guaranteed as a rookie...14 years ago. Stafford set the previous record for guaranteed money a year before ar $40 something.
These teams arent afraid of a guy like Trevor,Tua or Daniel Jones being nuclear weapons that get into opposing teams hands though
They are simply afraid of the team imploding because they have NO backup plan. If im bringing in young QBs and drafting them from the time I drafted my potential franchise guy. I think I might find a guy who can at least be a serviceable bridge if i need to let a guy walk. I think there are enough bridge qbs out there that i dont need to pay Daniel Jones 40,or Trevor and Tua 55. Teams just dont really seem to care about having a quality backup tbh. You saw Flacco say his phone wasnt ringing off the hook. They go cheap there,then when its time to pay these bums they have no servicable bridge/backup already in the mix who knows the system. So they are basically forced to pay.
And part of that is this myth that its disrespectful to have a good backup QB if hes a threat to your qb. If hes a threat,it probably means your QB is just about washed,or isnt that great.
What's Watson's annual salary?
Naw its not odd. Its hard, damn near impossible, to field a championship roster with one guy taking up a fifth or damn near a fourth of the salary cap.
THATS CRAZY...
DAMN NEAR EVERY ONE
IS MAKING 50+MS
AND MAHOMES/ALLEN ARENT
ON THE LIST.
NFL IS A JOKE FOR
OVERPAYING MOST OF THESE DUDES
and wonder why the teams are sorry overpaying above average at best mufukkas and then complain they don't have the cap space to keep the other good people on the team.
You can’t discount 2 super bowls for Eli You just can’t
It’s why his career is so hard to judge

Didnt he restructure before the season? Not sure about the number though.
I think this is perpetuated by the same people that say "you gotta have a QB so pay them whatever no matter how much or little they actually produce". I think its another offshoot of bussin it open for the QB. Back in the day it was par for the course to have a quality backup. Young behind Joe. Kubiak behind Elway. Garrett behind Troy. Giants and Slurs won SBs with backups.These teams arent afraid of a guy like Trevor,Tua or Daniel Jones being nuclear weapons that get into opposing teams hands though

Now you see Brady got Jimmy up out the paint. And Cousins' agent was all extra about drafting Penix like his client aint 36 coming off an Achilles. Beyond that if a guy is considered to be quality as a backup and he isnt
, somebody will pay him.
Just keeping up with the costs of living.
We can compare house prices from 2019 to 2024.
Or groceries.

It has to be the agents,I refuse to believe qbs can be that bytchmade
Imagine if every other position cried because the teams drafted their replacements or got quality backups . These other players need to open their eyes and use the same methods these QBs are using to bleed the bank.
The leverage qbs got aint because they are that good. Theyve managed to make a way that owners cant draft a replacement too high,or quality backup without it potentially being a problem for their starting QB
