What the hell is going on in this crazy world we all live in?  OK, maybe the intro was too dramatic, but look at the plight of some established QBs on huge mega deals:

24.  Aaron Rodgers  50.7 QBR

25. Dak Prescott 47.4

26. Daniel Jones 47.0

31. Derek Watson 22.4

Meanwhile, unloved stocks with much lower salaries when signed who have busted on their previous teams are outperforming these guys making $50m or so a year:

10. Derek Carr 61.5

14. Jared Goff  59.1

18.  Baker Mayfield 56.4

19.  Sam Darnold 55.5

https://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr

So if these 4 retreads are outperforming 4 QBs getting paid bank, what does that say about the market?  I should add that the top 9 QBs were drafted by their current teams--and three of them were not picked in the first 30 picks of their respective drafts--one was Mr. Irrelevant.  Three were first overall picks.

Interesting note:  Cousins is ranked 15th, and he got pulled for the Falcon's first round rookie on Sunday. 

I realize that there are many ways to evaluate a QB, but here were some shockers: 
CJ Stroud is #20.  Jayden Daniels (love him) is ranked #5 and Drake Maye is #12.  Caleb Williams is #27.  For some unexplained reason, Bryce was not listed.

I have no idea where in the world you are getting your salary numbers from by those guys are by QB salary rankings as follows:

Rodgers: 17th

Prescott: 1st

Jones: 16th

Deshaun Watson: 11th

 

Carr: 18th

Goff: 6th

Mayfield: 19th

Darnold(keep in mind he is on a BACKUP QB salary): 22nd

 

"Mega" deals is eye of the beholder but from 1-19 they are all above $33 mil AAV. The Mahomes deal(the original mega deal) is 13th.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
