Teddy Bridgewater has a “strong contract offer from the Lions,”
@JFowlerESPN reports.

The Ravens already have a 2022 Pro Bowl QB on their roster.

Well, he’s not an attractive person. Doesn’t that have something to do with endorsement deals? Neither is Rodgers, but Jackson is on another level of unattractive .

Obviously it’s a joke that he deserved to a Pro Bowl QB (think 6 guys turned it down) but he is a good NFL QB, and much better fall back option than the free agents left anyway.

Which players do you find attractive?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, Mahomes (somewhat), Hurts etc.
Chaka

...nope

People don't all want the same thing.
No one here knows what Lamar desires.
He has money so money may not be the ultimate thing he seeks.
Maybe Lamar does what makes him happy in terms of contract negotiations and endorsement deals.

Seems like getting a fat contract would make him happy
Chaka

Of course but I think @Bracie Smathers may be onto something. We don't know what truly drives these guys. These contracts are likely as much about feeling "respected" by the team as anything else.
Top dollar is a nice answer to "Show me how much you love me."
People worried about respect are, again, receiving terrible advice and lacking maturity.
"Hey man they disrespected me!" Dude cry me a river.
ghostguy123
Footballguy
Yep, and right now he seems pretty stubborn. Everyone telling him to get an agent probably makes it likely he won't, cause he doesn't wanna seem like he put his tail between his legs.

Well, clearly we know that doing a team-friendly deal like Mahomes does not make Jackson happy or it would have been done already.
“When I signed my deal, I knew I was going to be pretty set for life, regardless of what the market kind of happens,” Mahomes said. “But you just keep playing. Money is one thing, but when you get those Super Bowl rings, at the end of your career, I think that’s going to be what you look back upon. I think I’ve made enough money from the football field and obviously off of it as well, that it won’t matter at the end of the day.”

This seems like a less than comprehensive view of human nature.

Perhaps. Yes an agent would help him, but not sure it would help him with endorsements. Maybe a little bit. There are plenty of good players that I never see on commercials.No agent and apparently not trying to get deals come to mind.What do you think the reason is?

As dynamic a player Lamar is, he should easily be in as many or more commercials and whatnot than any of the other guys except maybe Mahomes.
I think you are bringing up an interesting point on his looks. I would still say that his exciting level of play make him very marketable.Perhaps.

I know I grew up seeing my fair share of Larry Bird commercials.

The truth is you don't really need an agent to negotiate a rookie deal. So he actually made a smart move in the beginning. He needs one now though.
What you are saying is accurate but there is some chatter he hurt his draft stock by not having an agent and I think it has merit.
Chaka
Footballguy
Not really.

Good movie. Entirely irrelevant but, good film.

I don't think so. Matt Stafford got a TON of endorsements after one Super Bowl. He got AT&T, Little Caesar's, etc.
Jimmy Garoppolo is a nobody QB who does Subway ads. He's never won a thing.
Looks have everything to do with everything from politics to stand-up comedians and comediennes to sports pitchmen and women. Any televised visual representation of anyone, and looks are probably the most important quality to have. Or at least watchability.
Now, Lamar would have endorsements with an agent. He'd be in one of those awkward introductory commercials where they make sure to say your name for the national audience, like Geico and Brian Orakpo, but he'd at least have a deal somewhere with a competent agent. Him having no shoe deal speaks volumes about how he doesn't have a competent representative handling his affairs.
But looks always matter.

Isn’t Lamar’s agent his mom? That’s what his problem is.
Jalen Hurts and Jimmy G are some handsome men, since we’re (oddly) on the subject.
I’ve always thought Tom Brady was so overrated looks wise. Not ugly, just basic. But he has an “all American” kinda look that has widespread appeal. Like a Ken doll if you will.

If Steve Buscemi can be in 100 movies, pretty sure an agent can get Lamar some lucrative endorsement deals.
He was probably offered a ton of deals but rejected them cause he was holding out for more money.
Who knows his motivation, but if his motivation is to actually make money then he's an idiot going about things the way he is.

No wonder the Maytag repairman was so lonely. He was ugly.

Hilarious. That is exactly how my sister describes Brady. Ditto for Joe Burrow. She despises them both.
Agree it's an odd topic, but I find it even odder that Rodgers has been deemed "unattractive." Danica Patrick and Olivia Munn most likely disagree.
Chaka
Footballguy
Yes, in life looks matter. As does being tall, also being male and, in much of the world so does being white.
But as a premise for not receiving endorsement deals it is laughably bad.

It’s a dumb argument when his TE is a top 3 at the position anyway.
But no, OBJ at this point is not a WR1.

Footballguy
OBJ hasn't looked like a #1 in half a decade or more
pollardsvision

If all OBJ is capable of at this point is getting this thread to stop rating QB's on the ****Official Offdee Scale****, then it is a fantastic signing!

Tom Pelissero claims Lamar recruited OBJ to BAL.

Not for nothing, but Steve Buscemi is an incredible actor.

It’s not really. Films require people from all walks of life of all different denominations, and physical types, to play all kinds of varying roles. Films are filled with all manner of unattractive, odd looking creatures, absurdly obese people etc etc to play many different things like paedophiles, firemen, beat cops, porn store owners, bakers, models, Wall Street execs you get the idea. Character actors are a thing. Of course, some do stick, like Buscemi, and become larger than life characters.
However, that has no relevance at all to celebrities being plucked by companies for endorsements
