It's the cost of business with QBs who are perceived as good or better and make it to their 2nd contract. He may not get 45, but I believe his AAV will be b/t 40-45. What fans believe is deserved or not is irrelevant. It's all market driven.
But guys like him and Dak are not elite enough to build a team around that have a real chance at a super bowl. I much prefer the way the Niners and Eagles have built there teams going with rookie contracts at QB and loading the rest of the roster.
The question is whether he’s Jim Plunkett or Joe Flacco. But it’s also experience and situation. The later is the hardest thing to determine since these guys don’t play in a vacuum.
He was good all year. But again qbs need to be surrounded by talent. Most don’t understand this.
I'd rather start a rookie than either of those scenarios because you are just losing and losing the money. At least with a rookie I am just losing!
Bums like Brock Osweiler got paid huge and it happens all of the time. Someone will overpay.
Todd France left CAA to join the same agency to join Athletes First, meaning as an agent he pulled the same thing Jones is doing as a player. He may end up with France as far as I know.
As one of Dak's biggest critics, that's one thing I never agreed with, that he should just be cheap. If I were in his shoes, I'd do the same exact thing as he did. In this case, I simply thought JJ was dumb for the contract.
No one is saying Dak should be cheap.
But why?? Carr has been in the league for almost 10 years an 0-1 playoff record. Almost 10 years in the league and only ONE playoff appearance.....
I personally wouldn't take any discount. That's how we all negotiate for jobs. As Dak said when they asked him if he would take a hometown discount, he basically said that gambling revenues are going to be part of the pot, so teams can afford the higher salaries. Facts are salary cap is just an imaginary number and we don't have any access to the books of teams. Owners are paying, because they have the money.
Because in spite of only 1 playoff appearance that is a direct result of a crappy organization with a defense that has pretty consistently been in the bottom tier of the league in terms of rankings, Carr has shown he has the ability to win if but for a crappy defense.
