He is paid as the 3rd highest QB yet league wide he is considered to be at best in the Top 8-10 range.....and coming off a bad ankle injury and a shoulder injury.
So because Jerry paid him as the 3rd highest QB does that make him the 3rd best QB? Well Jaylon Smith is the 9th highest paid LB so does that make him the 9th best? Hell, Parsons (a rookie) is already seen as better than Smith. Cooper is paid as the 4th highest WR....is he the 4th best WR? Lawrence is paid as the 4th highest edge rusher....is he is the 4th best? Zeke is the 4th highest paid RB...is he the 4th best?
The point is Jerry continuously overpays his players to the detriment of the team.
