Sharky7337 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Josh, Lamar, or Baker ? I think its safe to say darnold won't. I honestly think it will be either Josh or Lamar. Edited January 12, 2021 by Sharky7337
ClemsonBills Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Ravens are in a tough spot. They have a really good team around Lamar and he isn’t a guy that makes everyone around him better. I could be wrong, but this is just my thought. 3
Jerry Jabber Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Josh Rosen😂 Hard to say. My guess would be whoever gets their extension last as the QB agents want to wait and see what the other QB’s contract is worth. Seems with the QB market, they always try to make the next QB the highest paid player in the league. Edited January 12, 2021 by Jerry Jabber 1 3
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I am unscientifically guessing Mayfield, only because Haslam has always struck me as a drunken sailor in port just after being paid. EDIT: I know that's an insult to drunken sailors everywhere. 😕 Edited January 12, 2021 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1 1 3
IgotBILLStopay Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Josh will deserve the largest extension based on merit. But there is a glass ceiling for how much one can pay a QB and still put together a competitive team. That will make Baker's and Lamar's contracts similar to Josh's since both have done enough to merit being labeled The Franchise QB. All 3 will sign deals between 4yr 160 mill and 10 yr 450 mill. 1
DCOrange Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Pretty clearly Josh IMO. It sounds like Josh might become the highest paid player in the league. I can't imagine Baker would get anywhere near that much unless they wait on an extension and he blows up. I expect Lamar to get a huge extension as well but probably not highest paid player in the league big.
PetermansRedemption Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Allen without a doubt. Unless he takes a hometown discount. I can see Baker raking Cleveland over the coals. The city would riot if they let Baker walk after breaking the playoff drought and getting a W. Lamar I feel gets a big extension and then falls apart as the team around him falls apart (due to salary complications). 2
Gugny Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Josh, hands down. Mayfield is a game manager and Jackson is a RB. 1

Most TD passes of the “big 3” from that draft, just broke the playoff drought, fought for a W as an underdog. I don’t think Cleveland can let him go under any circumstance.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Shoulda made this a poll. My heart tells me Allen, and I think he is the most deserving. But I could see Cleveland do something real dumb with Baker's contract just because they are so hyped right now. 2
thenorthremembers Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 It all depends on who gets the extension last. Josh is the best passer, but Lamar has won more and has an MVP to his credit. I think you're seeing the Bills being smart by trying to get to Josh first, much like they did with Tre because they know the situation. 1 1
Big Turk Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Allen. He can run any offense and make any throw. Lamar can't. He is still a limited player. A great limited player, but still a limited player. Edited January 12, 2021 by Big Turk
Bulldog Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Of course Josh is deserving of it - but I am an admittedly a biased Bill's homer. Most likely though, it will be whomever signs last. Surprised there is no support for Mason Rudolph, lol. Remember seeing some pre-draft love for him around here back then ... 1
whatdrought Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 This isn’t a “Lamar is a RB” post, but why is it that RB’s value decreases so much? 2 main reasons: - Number of hits they deal with while running (which applies, though Lamar is great at protecting his body.) - the severity to which an injury or continued injuries limit their ability. As soon as a RB loses a fraction of his speed, or agility, or as soon as his body is just a little less able to make the things happen that it always has - it’s over. Lamar feels that way to me. If Lamar was hobbled by a sprained ankle, and can’t run - what happens to the offense? That’s something the Ravens need to consider. The margin of error is much smaller. 1 1

Lots of Steelers fans wanted to see Mason Rudolph put in during the playoff game on Sunday lol.
SCBills Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Allen should because he's already shown he can carry a team. He's done it multiple times this year, and has now done so in the Playoffs. Baker clearly plays off the run game. He's good, but not in a take over the game by himself type of way. Lamar, I honestly have no idea. I think he has the ability to take over games, but not as consistently, or to the level, that Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes can. Edited January 12, 2021 by SCBills

I think you just build the O around oline, TEs, and lamar. Keep him surrounded with young running backs, and speed WRs.

He is good when the run game is going but he cannot carry a team if its not working. Edited January 12, 2021 by Big Turk
Scott7975 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) They will probably all get around the same amount of money. Do any of these teams have a choice? I think Josh is the best of the bunch but like how screwed would the Ravens be without Lamar. No other QB could run that offense. Baker isn't terrible and they aren't going to get anyone else. The only way I see Lamar not getting that money is if the Ravens decide to move on from that type of offense and get rid of Roman too. Edited January 12, 2021 by Scott7975
