No I said it does not come without risk and it could get you fired. I just think paying these guys that are merely good is more often a path to mediocrity.

Ok we will agree to disagree. I don't see how they are not comparable. These are all guys in a similar talent level tier to Purdy that got multi-year deals where the team is tied to them for more than one year and got paid a QB premium. If the Niners are a real contender the next four years...

I only bring up Jones as another illustration of how the QB market is out of wack. As far as a list of QBs near or below Purdy's talent level that recently got big or fairly big deals that come with a QB premium and if the team should regret them or not: Dak - regret Tua - regret Watson -...

I just wouldn't give them top of the market, roster altering deals. This whole "well you're up so we have to give you a top of the market deal" is nonsense to me.

Well the other route can also lead you to signing Daniel Jones for 4-160 with $81M guaranteed, locking yourself into him for two years with dead cap hits after. And no I am not saying Purdy is on the same level as Daniel Jones. But I also don't see Purdy as a guy that significantly elevates a...

First, I make Purdy what I consider to be a reasonable offer that would allow the team to keep the level of talent around him that he needs. They have already traded Deebo, probably at least in part in preparation for Purdy's big new contract. If he wants out I consider exploring a trade. If...

In one of the articles posted in here it said his deal basically has $181M in guaranteed money, second highest to Deshaun Watson. If that's the case there has to be some decent sized cap hits somewhere along the length of the contract I would think. That makes it harder to put the level of...

I agree he has been clearly better than Jones and Lawrence, but I also think he is nowhere near the true elite QBs. Maybe I'm wrong. We will see since they will not be able to put as much around him in the coming years with his bigger deal. They already traded Deebo in preparation for his new...

Yes I am in favor. I'm not saying they shouldn't be able to I'm saying I wouldn't pay average to a bit above average QBs a large percentage of my cap.

Did you read my initial post? I don't care what they pay them and I don't resent them getting paid. I just wouldn't pay guys like Purdy, Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Tua a big percentage of the cap.

Teams can already pay these QBs whatever they want so long as they conform to the cap. I'm not sure I understand the question.

This would be interesting, but almost all teams do pay these guys. I think it would be a more interesting exercise to look at teams that had good QBs on rookie deals that then paid them top QB money and how they fared during the rookie contract and then in the years after the big deals. The...

The NFL QB salary situation is broken. These guys are getting too big a percentage of the cap. I'm not paying guys like Purdy, Dak, Carr, Trevor Lawrence etc. If there was no salary cap then fine pay them whatever. Giving a guy like Purdy this contract is a good way to descend into...

Hope it works out, but probably not likely. Raiders LB group is very shaky. Spillane was probably worth an "overpay".

Agreed. I think he would be a fine addition. Also, when talking about an edge player people think pass rush, but Clowney is good against the run too.
