Franchise Tag Season

Jones is a tag possibility.

Funny to remember that this time last year Jones looked like a middling quarterback at best. Daboll really helped him resurrect his career.

And for that, he gets this 😕

Jones played well last year, but $45mil/year? That’s crazy…. It’s crazy that Murray, Wilson, and Prescott get paid that much too, so I’m sure he’ll get it.

Looks like a good candidate for the tag. He's not worth it. One good season doesn't make him a 45 mil per qb.

His stats weren’t that impressive and he was really helped by Barkley staying healthy. 
That playoff game was impressive but the game after it was not. 
45 million for a QB that threw 15 TDs in 2022 and was very meh the years prior. 
If Barkley gets injured again, and he will, Jones can’t carry the team. 
This is really stupid in Jones’ part. He should take whatever the Giants give him and be happy. 
45 million is money for a QB that doesn't need a healthy RB to win.

If I was the Giants I would be laughing at him when he said that is what he wanted. His supposed “best” season wasn’t all that great anyway. 
15 TD last season, 15. Also Barkley being healthy definitely helped mask Jones’ problems and Jones’ can’t win without Barkley.

It has been less than 30 years (1994) since the NFL salary cap was instituted.  That year's cap?  34.6 million.  Another year or so and NFL teams won't be able to secure the services of a middle of the pack QB for that amount.  Our society's priorities/values are way out of whack.

In fairness, prior to last season you would have a hard time finding many that didn't consider Wilson a top QB. That's a hindsight mistake.

It was a mistake in foresight to have paid Murray and Dak that money.

In today's money that would be about $70 mil.

But also consider the exponential rate of NFL TV revenue, which has gone up 623% from 1990 to 2020.

So, in reality the cap just matches the insane money they make. Goodell set a goal to have league revenue at $27 billion by 2027.

The ludicrous dollars being paid to QB's these days is 100% the fault of the competition committee.  Their insistence on continually changing the rules to favor higher and higher scoring games brought this on.  Gone are the days when you could build a great defense and have an offense simply take the chances presented by that defense.  We'll never see SB's where guys like Brad Johnson, Joe Flacco, Trent Dilfer, Jim McMahon, etc lead their teams to a title.

In order to lower the QB salary range, you've got to make defense a real possibility for building a championship team.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
