Goes back to my theory that teams that are able to draft a good QB, and have them play on a rookie deal, are going to be pretty successful for a while as they can spread out the money.

 

 

Most of the SB winners lately have been QB's on rookie deals, or lower deals.

They're going to be cap strapped eventually...

I think I heard that the contracts of Thomas and Sherman are front-loaded so they are getting their money up front which will allow the Hawks to re-sign Wilson... but what about Wagner?

I guess they could cut Lynch next year to save some money.

 

They have arguably the best secondary in NFL history locked up until 2020. As long as they continue to draft well and find good talent in the UDFA pile they should be good to go.

Well, that's a massive contract.  My prediction - Sherman blows out his ACL in a meaningless pre-season game going for a tipped ball in the end zone while concurrently trash talking the receiver about how he's the greatest player in the history of the NFL.  Seattle fans everywhere weep for days.

Most of the teams that have locked up their QBs to hundred million dollar contracts have proceeded to not get to the Super Bowl with them.

 

Likewise, it seems to me that when you see a guy get huge money like this (Revis, for example) the next thing you watch is their downfall.

 

Coincidence or trend?

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
