Vick was never used as a battering ram. Cam was. No HC ever really let their QB take the designed beating that Ron let Cam take. 

Buffalo's gonna do it to Josh Allen next.

No you don't.

You're still chasing unicorns.

You do this to draft one and have them on rookie deal and use the cap savings to sign veterans at other key positions to compliment.

trading away draft capital for a QB that also has a huge cap hit is dumb

I like Lamar. He’s an elite QB.

With that said, I’d rather use our capital to move up in the draft for Stroud or Young.

Lamar is a great young QB, however if we have to trade a bunch of picks either for him or to move up to the top 3 in the draft I’d rather roll with the rookie on the rookie contract than a Lamar type for 50 million bucks a year.

No thank you

People saying trade those picks to get a QB on a rookie contract have to realize the QB has to actually be GOOD to win anything. Lamar is a known commodity 

True but he’s going to cost 50 million a year and probably north of a quarter billion total. fug that noise.

Lamar already turned down a 133 Fully guaranteed offer from the Ravens.  And the rumors up there is that he wanted a contract in the range of Watson’s

 

He is going to want the BAG wherever he goes.

Seems like Cam is the poster boy for every QB who runs.

People said the same thing about Josh Allen this year saying he is gonna end up like Cam.

 

My question why wasn't this a thing before Cam?

 

Vick never had that label. 

Vick...didn't hear the injury label? Lololol..

Are you 18 to 22? Vick couldn't stay on the field man. He was always injured and it was discussed at length by damn near everyone. 

We don't know what Josh Allen is going to be. He's what, in year 4 now? With a major elbow injury? How will rhat elbow hold up by Year 8? 

You're writing things off for the present. That tells me that you're young and probably only witnessed Cam's situation and Mike Vick's injury history through the words of others.

Jackson's production has only gotten worse as the League has figured out how to play him. Not only that, as mentioned at length, he can't stay healthy.  One reason why he's wanting a fully guaranteed contract.  He's not stupid, but he's also tipping his hand.  Lamar knows his style of play has a shelf life and it's likely to expire before he, or the team, would like it to.

I don't like his decision making on or off the field honestly.  

Choosing to not have professional representation for negotiating what will be a $220+ million contract is absolutely stupid.  Not smart in any way you spin it.  In a league with over 2,000 players, he's one of like 15 who don't have an agent. No legal representation, no one verifying contractural language, potential amendments, no help.    

He's also 4 years removed from his MVP year already, playing in just 12 games each of the last 2 years.  

Going after him poses a bigger risk than trading up for a rookie.  You're giving up similar assets (maybe even more) and don't have the liberty of it being a rookie deal, it's a mega-contract.

Rumor is he's wanting his contract fully guaranteed like Deshaun Watson.  That, more than anything, is the sticking point--not the overall value.
