Did they before though?

We've seen plenty of quarterbacks get massive paychecks without earning rings.

He didn't lose money, but that's also not like he got a massive increase in overall salary. And of course he didn't get the fully guaranteed deal.

He has a deal though. Next step is to see whether it works out for both he and the Ravens.

Whatever dude. He just signed the largest contract in nfl history. His side won.

His side won. Now we have to wait and see if his team can.

But his injury history will dictate whether he will earn that biggest contract in NFL history. The Ravens better hope he doesn't go down due to injury during the season.

I mean, sure, if you want to look at it that way. QBs are going to get paid, so if you have one that's actually worth a damn, you had better do some good budget planning. Their salaries are not going backwards.

I'm not sure for how long though. At some point the other players are going to get fed up with guys taking 25-30% of the ca, while the team and other players end up suffering from lack of cap space. I think it will at some point end up similar to the rookie salary cap. Vets were getting pissed because they couldn't get a decent salary because of massive contracts to one player. I think we'll see the same again when winning teams are almost impossible to build because 3 or 4 players are making more than the other 49.

I can respect your opinion even though I disagree with it.

 

Now on to the draft!

We even disagree on who to take but that's all good too. As long as it works out for the Panthers and we hoist a couple Lombardis, I don't give a poo.

Pretty hard to be made with $185 million guaranteed...

A lot of posters were adamant this wasn't likely to happen.
