Personally I like Tua. He is a good dude and is better than most fans here give him credit for. I also don’t see him as much of a threat! But yes, he likely isn’t good enough to carry a team the way a $50 million a year guy needs to.
that’s where I think these QBs would be better off long term, accepting less money. Mahomes is in every single ad. Tom Brady is getting $375 million to Broadcast with NBC. I doubt those deals happen without WINNING.
Mahomes obviously is lacking WR talent this year, just like Josh is. If they took less salary, and got assurances from the team they’d bring in some playmakers, it would help the team win and help them look good — the same way hill and waddle make Tua look good. They’d earn the money back in endorsements, TV deals, jersey sales, etc.
Anyway, Tua or a QB like him, would be smart to sign for 30-35 a year instead of 50. Win more, get more endorsements, get more of a fan base, improve your brand, land the TV gig….
