People who bring up this tired argument are out of touch with the basic principles of supply and demand.

 

Paying a QB - who was named to back to back pro bowls and has a ridiculously good TD/INT ratio and is still 27yrs old - a salary that amounts to a cap hit that would put him around the 20th highest paid QB in the NFL isnt stupid is as stupid does.

Pro bowl means little. Especially as an alternate. And what was Tyrods record when asked to do things that quarterbacks are to do. What is Tyrods record with no McCoy. If we had cleveland money sign him up. But an offensive and defensive scheme change require players on to of that we have very little money and have to find another 20 guys to fill out the roster. Is just a hard cove when all things are considered

I'm not sure, but Buffalo is 0-3 without Tyrod.

We ... are ... grossly ... overpaying ... for ... Tyrod.

 

Someone gave Osweiler $18 mill a year. Did that mean that we should give Tyrod $20.5 mill? Or did they wildly overpay Osweiler? Clearly the latter. And if Glennon gets a deal for $14 - $15 mill a year, first it's a ton less than Tyrod would make if they picked up his option and second, the fact that somebody might overpay for one guy doesn't make overpaying for another OK.

 

Tyrod is a bridge QB. He shouldn't be paid like a franchise guy, and yes, $40.5 million guaranteed for two years on the roster - his most likely term - is franchise QB money.

 

Glennon is also a bridge QB, though not as good a bridge guy as Tyrod. $14 - $15 mill would make him the most expensive bridge QB in history. And will almost certainly look like a terrible deal in a year or two.

 

Also worth remembering that some teams have an awful lot of money available under the cap to throw around if they want while we have very little and still can't even come close to fielding a roster of 51 NFL-ready players.

starters get paid like starters even when they aren't starting quality

Wasn't Glennon the banjo playing kid from Deliverance?

the banjo guy is his Dad. Not only can Glennon pass over the middle, he also has a pretty mouth

Glennon did put up 30 td's and 15 int's in his 18 starts on a bad team, take it for what it's worth.

Sticking to it, Glennon is my hot take. He will throw more

Touchdowns than TT in 17'

Matt Flynn threw for 6 TDs in one game and parlayed that into big payday ;-)

You know things are bad when Glennon is suddenly some big FA prize....

 

I forgot he even played football. Maybe next year is EJ's big year to get 17-18 million from someone.
