He probably meant yards per ATTEMPT but he couldn’t even get that right.
That is COMPLETELY wrong, at least in skilled labor markets.
While most people start in the same general area, the fact of the matter is, based off performance, two people doing the "same job" with the "same title" could be paid vastly different.
Hell, even for new hires, I have seen situations where the company was willing to pay 20% more than normal to get a specific guy in if he turned down the initial offer. But if an "average" candidate turned down the initial offer, we would not make a counter offer.
Have you ever heard of comp ratio? Let say the average salary for a particular position / title is $100k a year. A comp ratio is a range of pay that could be 20% higher and 20% lower than that average salary. So two people with the same title could be separated by $40k a year in salary difference. The lower employee would be making $80k a year (.80 or 80%) while the top end could be making $120k a year (1.2 or 120%).
Now if you want to talk about performance vs pay in the NFL. OK, cool, I feel ya on that.
But if you are crying because the MARKET for a specific position is too high, I couldn't care less.
Does anyone NEED $40 million a year? I would say no.
Am I upset that Dak makes $40 million a year as an NFL QB?
No. That is what QBs are paid, and well within the comp ration for the position, so good for the young man. And IMO, it he IS worth it.
Is Zeke worth his contract? .... maybe? maybe not?
Is Jaylon worth his contract? LOLz, you are funny if you think so.
All I'm saying is, if McDonalds decided to pay you $40 million a year, would you not take it?
I would hope you would jump at that opportunity. And if you have kids, that is generational wealth that can change everything.
Would I care if you made $40 million a year serving fries in the drive thru? Absolutely not.
The only reason I would care is if they started charging $40 for a Big Mac. In that case, I'll just go to Burger King and I wish you the best on holding onto the big salary.
I try not to worry about what other people are doing / making. I got enough problems of my own to deal with.
It's not his money so he doesn't gaf. But if he were offered the same amount, he'd jump on it. He's a troll and goes on my troll list.So are you saying I should reject my next raise?
I mean, if I make over $50k a year, don't you think a person making minimum wage (or $15/hr) might think $50k is a little excessive?
Hell, what if I had the skills to hold a job that pays $100k a year? $1 million? Should I say "yeah, I'll do the job, but please, for the love of life, don't pay me that much so we can hire more employees?"
Some people man.
Just like a manager makes more than other position in the store, a QB makes more than any other position on the team.
Just like a manager makes more than other position in the store, a QB makes more than any other position on the team.
Why is that? Because QBs, like Managers, have way more impact on the success of the team/business than a non-QB/non-manger person does.
Doesn't mean that non-QBs or non-Managers are not important. They just are not AS important when it comes to the success of the team/business.
The only "silliness" here is thinking that Dak is screwing over the Cowboys because he got a MARKET RATE DEAL.
I wonder if you would be crying if Dak got paid Josh Allen's or Dashawn Watson's deals.
Neither one of those guys have won a Super Bowl either, but they are making "Dak Money" (43 vs 40 vs 39) too.
While that is NOT more than Mahomes (who is the highest paid QB at the moment), they are paid more than Rodgers, Wilson and Ben. The only reason Rodgers, Wilson and Ben will never make as much as Dak, Josh or Watson is because they are older. Even then, I would not be surprised if Rodgers and Wilson get one more big deal each.
But they are "Super Bowl winners", so let look at QBs that have NOT won a Super Bowl, but are likely to get paid more than Dak/Allen/Watson ... and maybe even Mahomes.
I think Lamar Jackson will get paid more than Dak/Allen/Watson before he wins a Super Bowl. And that is probably true for Mayfield, Herbert, Murray, Burrow or any other young QB that is a "franchise QB". That how it works.
So if you want to blame anyone for "Dak not being cool" you need to blame NFL Teams and the NFLPA.
Dak or any QB could not sign for that much if no Team offered that kind of contract. That is simple supply and demand.
The price for a franchise QB wouldn't be so high if the NFLPA gave a crap about "fairness" and wanted every position to get paid the same.
THAT'S the common sense you seem to be missing.
So if you would like for me to "work with you amigo", then first grow up, get a grasp on reality, and realize that you opinion, like mine, does not freaking matter when it comes to NFL salaries. It is just what those people get paid, regardless if it is "fair", "good for the team" or whatever other silly excuse you can think of.
But that seems like that is a long shot at this point. Oh well.
Yea you are quicking losing us fam...
And all that means ****,we lost and that's the only thing that matters, this is not fantasy football where stats matter...bottom line we're o-1...end of story.
the last drive debacle is on Moore and MC....they botched managing that drive......
Like babe said on the broadcast,we're something like 2-20 when losing at the half...that definitely isn't clutch qb material, actually that's freaking pitiful.
And they did a great job last night in spite of the all pro missing the game and Dak's salary.
Does it make it better to lose pretty or win ugly? Apparently you like to lose pretty... If YOU can't understand that,then I definitely can't help you, doesn't matter how much you lose by,it's still a ****** loss...damn,you people and your fantasy stats.
