Could you imagine a non-QB getting paid huge money in FA when they played a total of 7 games in their career over a 5 year period? Would NDamakong Suh have gotten his monster contract if he played 7 games randomly throughout his first 4 years in the NFL? Would Patrick Peterson have gotten his monster contract if he only played 7 games in the NFL? What about Laveon Bell? How is it cool for a QB that has shown "potential" to be paid as if he has already realized that potential when literally no other position in the NFL is treated like that? They get paid once they have realized that potential. It's a crazy double standard. Expand Do you really not understand that the QB position at the NFL level is entirely different? It is especially the case with so few high level QBs available. When you have the chance to secure one for your team, don't mess around.

Expand I'm putting together the info for a thread about QB pay adjusted for higher cap increases. Some people are going to be shocked how much changes for QB pay due to the cap increase. One interesting contract is Ryan Tannehill's. It was redone from time still left on his rookie contract in 2015. He signed for an average of 19.25 million. Factoring in ONLY the increase percentage of the cap increase that same contract is now worth 24 million per year! I'm doing this for all active veteran QBs.

Expand As many have already pointed out, every top rookie QB draft pick got, essentially, "that type of money" with ZERO body of work---and we all accepted it as no big deal. Now a guy with clear skills and a coaching staff that is more convinced than you are of his value is getting paid a lot of money now so they don't have to pay him even more money next year when his value would certainly go even higher. WHy is this so hard for fans to understand? And would the average fan (who is not a fan of SF) even care what they are paying this guy? Makes no sense.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 The asking price for any starting qb is high regardless. The question TBD is did they overpay like teams have for: Luck, Tannehill, Osweiller, Stafford 1

It's out of our price range. Looking more and more like Taylor is an option as the bridge QB after all.. Expand Why? QB market, get what you pay for

Garoppolo's deal comes with $74.1 million in guarantees, including those for injury.
