8 QBs Now Make At Least $50 Million. Lets Look At Their Playoff Records

[Wangchung83]

What the hell does any of that have to do with this thread..................this is looking at the playoff records of the 8 highest paid QBs currently in the NFL.

If you are trying to make this somehow about Dak, move on, this aint a Dak thread..........nowhere was Dak even mentioned in this thread so move on bro if that is what you want to discuss.

Has everything to do with everything. It’s called perspective. Obviously you need facts to make informed decisions. If I tell you the QBs are all younger than Adam than that means more upside as they haven’t had as many opportunities to win. If they haven’t thrown pics that contributed to their teams losses than yes that makes a difference. If they haven’t lost playoff games where they only needed 20pts that matters. Some on your list deserve more than Dak bc they have actually had more success than Dak in playoffs. Hurts went to Super Bowl day hasn’t even been to nfc championship. Hurts did so in year 2 or 3 and Dak never has been and he’s through year 9. lol apples to oranges

All that is excuses because many around here stated that "good quarterbacks are supposed to ELEVATE the talent around them". Herbert was selected in the 1st round for a reason.

So it's time for Herbert to elevate the talent around him, leave the excuses at home.

Until last season, Dak hasn't had his starting offensive line playing together for 3 straight seasons. Last year, the Cowboys running game was the weakest it's been in Dak's career, but he still managed to have an All-Pro season and became an MVP candidate. Dak isn't elite and somehow managed to play well enough to have atleast accomplished that.

Now Dak and many others played like trash in the playoffs vs GB, but no excuses.

There's no excuses for Dak and that goes for all the other NFL quarterbacks.

ELEVATE the talent around you. These are professional football players. Stop with the excuses.

Stick with me kid I may elevate your posting
We can make this simple for you.
Do you feel Dak is a better QB than Herbert?

Might be because there's a lot of factors involved. Not JUST highest paid QB.



And you are SO cute trying to so desperately control the narrative. I don;t even know what people have posted yet...but you...god lord so CUTE!

Dak should NEVER be mentioned in top paid Qbs and their playoff record discussions.

I don;t blame ya...ABYSMAL! ....Dang Tad and Dak...you guys should NOT be logged in here!

Hurts had a top 3 D. Dak did not. Apples to oranges.

To my way back thinking just because another franchise overpaid a QB does that mean you throw a mammoth contract at Prescott and handcuff yourself to him for the future ? I mean Dallas is on yr 9 on this path .

Out of the list provided here out of 8 QB’s I take 3 over Prescott ( Burrow Lawrence LaMar ) meaning five of them are seriously overpaid . Obviously the QB in KC who was not included on this list is the best QB in football .

 

[RonWashington]

When you defend Hurts running game or he’s hobbled and has to sling it around he’s not nearly as lethal . I think the Giants are going to regret Daniel Jones after this season and it will be very interesting to see how the Commanders shiny new QB progresses .

 

[Typhus]

So, there are currently 8 QBs who make at least $50 million a year.............lets take a look at what these 8 guys have done in the playoffs.

Burrow (55).........lost a SB
Lawrence (55)........has 1 career playoff win, if you can even call it that (threw 4 picks in that win)
Love (55)................has 1 career playoff win, you guessed it, the curb stomping of Dallas.
Tua (53)..................has 0 career playoff wins
Goff (53)..............lost a SB
Herbert (52)............has 0 career playoff wins
Lamer (52).............has reached Conference Finals and lost
Hurts (51).............lost a SB

1. Out of these 8 guys, only three have ever made it to a SB and they all lost (Burrow, Goff, Hurts).
2. One guy has made it to the Conference Title Game and he lost (Lamar Jackson)
3. Two guys have exactly 1 career playoff victory in Love and Lawrence, but Lawrence needs an * because he threw 4 picks in that "playoff win".
4. The other two guys have put up goose eggs in the playoffs, Tua and Herbert.

I think this thread clearly demonstrates that playoff success is not a requirement to be among the highest paid QBs in the league.

The money shouldn't even be a point of focus, I've pounded the stone so much over contract terms being more important than the actual money until my knuckles bleed, but the peeps never listen.

It's the actual "cap management" that should be the focal point, not what Jerry spends out of pocket, all team owners have to abide to the same standards of cap management.

Why peeps get so caught up in Jerry's money over actual FO cap management is extraordinary.

 

[RonWashington]

Speaking of which when Prescott broke the ankle then came back as more pocket passer then combo passer / scramble threat his effectiveness took a hit .

I beg to differ, it precisely shows a majority of the QB have taken their teams deep in the playoffs and/or won a playoff game....Herbet and Tua are the outliers....but now add in a 60mil QB who has NOT done crap in the playoffs or against over 500 teams....were do you place him....

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

No, what he's saying is that paying your QB a huge chunk of the salary cap does not lead to winning playoff games.

LOL it depends on if the QB is good or not, obviously.

Teams with great QBs win playoff games. Teams with great QBs pay them a large percentage of the salary cap. Some (dumb) teams pay non-great QBs a large percentage of the salary cap (DAL).

if simply paying a large percentage of your salary cap to a QB guaranteed playoff wins, they could pay YOU 55 mil a year and start racking up the playoff wins.

If you have a great QB...you will win in the playoffs, and you'll pay him handsomely. Dak isn't great....yet Jerruh will pay him as if he is. Dak will fail in the playoffs again. Dak will tell us to "move on" again

Do you feel Dak is a better QB than Herbert?

Herbert has great tools, but at this point in his career, Dak had already won his first playoff game. I think Herbert has a better downfield ball than Dak, but overall I think Dak is a better quarterback right now.

With that said, you stick with ME kid and I'll help you get better at giving honest assessments. You have potential lil guy!!

Thanks
That explains everything.

 

[kskboys]

By the logic of some on this board, these teams are eliminated from SB contention because their QB makes too much money, and they don't have money to build around them.

Am I right?

Depends on the talent of the QB. If he is not top tier, you are correct.

That explains everything.

That's exactly right! The recorded production between the two confirms what I'm saying. Explains everything on film and in black and white in kid!!

 

[Buzzbait]

So because other teams are paying huge money for limited or no postseason success, we should too.

Amazing logic.

Interesting point BFL. Maybe overpaying underperforming QBs is not the best recipe for success. Maybe it'd be worth trying another route, like spending some of that extra money on the trenches. They say games are won or lost in the trenches.
But if too much of that money is sitting safely in the QB's bank account, well......... so much for the trenches.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

It would be interesting to see the actual CAP% in the particular year they got to those play-off performances.....which is the possible issue with Dak's scenario.

It certainly indicates that these 55+ cant do it on their own....it's a shame that Dak apparently wants a shorter term contract and we have to fit in the $40m dead money, which means we dont get that ability to restructure and build that roster.

We don't need to see it. They were all on rookie deals

They are not being paid 60M, if it was 52M that Dak was looking for he would be signed.

He wants 10M extra per year because of his reg season stats against the Giants and the Commanders

How is it you left deshaun Watson added it he literally was the highest paid quarterback in the league with guarantees they have yet to be matched... I think you're missing some guys but yeah even the guys making 42,000,000 which is right about what Prescott is around 11 haven't done squat either.. Are you trying to tell me that the guy in Murray is not on the list either? I'm pretty sure he's somewhere in there...

But I do agree I'm tired of hearing about how somehow we're attached in playoff wins and losses to these quarterbacks contracts and that's just not true... So yes Prescott will either sign here or sign somewhere else for a record contract and that's just the way it is how about we talk about the positives the man has never been part of a losing season he's been to the playoffs three straight years but I believe five out of the last eight years I don't know if he was part of all those and he's been a part of what three division titles I mean I could be off a little I know it's pretty close.. He was rookie of the year had thirteen wins as a rookie and had his defense collapse in the playoffs but hey let's give all these other quarterbacks who've had an easy win because of their defense and their run game where ours has not in his first couple years in the league when they had the best chance.

And let's add in the fact that he's about to break many of the Dallas Cowboys passing records and NFL records which everyone seemed to be overly focused on is one year of bad turnovers when he is sixth all time in the top rankings for touchdown interception ratio and then last year's second MVP voting second team all pro led the league which he's been close to leading the league many times and scoring... He's been part of a lot of top offenses where he hasn't had a lot of top defenses or top running games lately...

Yes the man has warts yes he has some weaknesses yes he's not perfect but that don't mean he shouldn't get paid because we've seen he's a lot better than many of those quarterbacks on the list...

Also people fail to mention the fact that I had a 95 quarterbacks been drafted since 2016 only one of them has won a Super Bowl drafting a quarterback of next two drafts they don't look like be any franchise quarterbacks that says you probably should keep your guy... And I remind you is everyone who gets upset at the quarterbacks here for some kind of 28 year narrative that keeps being mentioned all the time the Dallas Cowboys are still since Jerry Jones took over only one of three teams with three Super Bowls or more and that would be the chiefs with Patrick mahomes and the patriots with Tom Brady....

I get the frustration but I'm watching these playoff games too you're asking the quarterback to do something on his own like play like Superman and make no mistakes even though Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions and had two in the Super bowl and once again like Trevor Lawrence gets covered up by a better team they had a team to overcome mistakes they are not asking their quarterback to do it by themselves nor did stall back or eight men ever win a championship playing perfectly their team help them win those championships.
