In '21, Jared Goff has a $37M cap hit. Matt Ryan has a $41M cap hit. Carson Wentz has a $35M cap hit. I don't think you're in tune with what good QBs make in today's NFL.

And all three have questionable relationships with their team's futures right now...

Those hits happen all the time. Teddy. Alex. Brady. Theisman. Cam. Luke. Delhomme. Really, in this game that's how most great players end their careers or end up as a shell of themselves. And then you're on the hook for those contracts. 

If we get Watson, I'll cheer him on. Not a problem. But there will always be the question if we'll be paying too much for him up and until that contract is over. There will also be the question of how bad that contract is going to hamstring the entire team over time.

None of those hits are like Smith's or Theisman's, whose were truly career altering. Luke was still playing at an elite level and still could be. Brady, come on... Is Teddy any worse than he was before the injury? No. 

 

Could Watson miss time with injury and make it tough for us to win? Sure obviously, that's a risk of the game. All 32 teams are in that same boat. You don't make decisions based on fear of a player getting a career altering injury. That's absurd.

It's irrelevant. The Jets have 2 1st rd picks this year, so they have more immediate impact. As does Miami. Either could trade both of those picks and the QB they just drafted, and throw in next years 1st. Both are higher profile landing spots.

They have to be interested in making the deal though. The Dolphins came out pretty early that they weren't gonna be involved. For better or worse, they really do seem committed to Tua. The Jets are reportedly planning on sticking with Darnold but I don't necessarily buy it.

Paying too much for him?  

Have you seen Mahomes new contract?  35M + is the new going rate for a top flight, young franchise QB - which Watson DEFINITELY is.  His deal will end up being somewhat of a bargain as the years go forward.  Hell, we're stuck paying Bridgewater 20M.  There are no deals for future Hall of Fame QBs these days.  If you have the chance to get one - you do it.  Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen are all going to get at least 30M a year in their next deals.

no way.  inwouldnt give more than 2 1sts and a 3rd

You do realize that the first this year is a wash, right?  We would be drafting a rookie QB at 8, so its like drafting Watson at 8 this year instead.  Dont get hung up on this years first.

      High stakes

      By pantherdad · Posted

      No matter what…I didn’t expect to be relevant and in playoff talks this late in the year. Very surprised. Just treat every win as a bonus and keep building on that from last season, this team is trending up.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      What you credit him for were good plays.  I refer you to the thoughts of another QB out there being tasked with that situation. Were they plays only he could make because of a unique skill set or ability, compared to another QB? Is it possible someone else of marginal NFL skill level might have made those completions?  This is the thing. You might reply that his intangibles come into play, his clutchness for example. I am saying it is fair to wonder if maybe another QB converts on third down and we don’t need a 4th down conversion. Or another guy makes the same throws and the train keeps rolling. Stuff like that. Where do you draw those lines? And if you don’t get a clear answer of Bryce could do that and another guy similar in skill set or maybe with a better arm could not, then do you pay him huge multiples of millions?

      Mnf uniform combo White uni. Black helmet & socks

      By joeyxfresco · Posted

      From my understanding of the situation we can’t make any changes for a few years bc the recoloring of the blue counts as a uniform update. I do know from my guy that:   - we were supposed to get new uniforms a few years back but the team hesitated and pulled back on the process    - the updated blue on the jerseys and the black helmet were a part of that update that never happened   - if a change happens it won’t be until after our 2028 Rivalries set drops   - ownership is actually pretty fond of the silver. They started to included it more in CFCs identity
