So I have heard a lot that when QBs or any player for that matter signs a "mega" deal, the following year they/the team struggles. So I went and dug some numbers up and here is what I found. 

Joe Flacco

Andy Dalton

Colin Kaepernick

Matthew Stafford

Jay Cutler

Tony Romo

win/loss record of these teams the season following these QBs signed their mega deals.. 

Joe Flacco-8-8

Andy Dalton-10-5-1

Colin Kaepernick- 8-8

Matthew Stafford- 4-12

Jay Cutler- 5-11

Tony Romo- 12-4

Combined team record of these teams one year following their QB mega deals- 47-48.

Of the 6 QBs only two of them made the playoffs following their new contracts.

 

Now lets look at QB ratings of these QBs the season before they signed their mega deal and the season after..

Joe Flacco; before 87.7, After 73.1

Andy Dalton; Before 88.8, After 83.5

Colin Kaepernick; Before 91.6, After 87.4

Matthew Stafford; Before 79.8, After 84.2

Jay Cutler; 89.6, After 88.6

Tony Romo; Before 97.7, After 113.2

Out of the 6 QBs, only two saw an increase in their QB rating after signimg their mega deal. Now you might be wondering why I didnt include Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady and frankly while Cam is great he is just not Brady or Rodgers level.. I feel currently that Cam is in the class of the QBs listed above moreso than the GOATS like Rodgers and Brady.

Where are the alarming "stats" regarding QB performance mentioned in the title? QB ratings, really? Looking at, and judging wins/losses in a vacuum while casually and completely ignoring the contributing factors which lead to those records, like players leaving, coaching changes, scheme changes, injuries, starting rookies who are learning on the fly, etc is pretty damn pointless.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
