    Yes.. it’s piss poor for a non rookie QB 

     

    Right? Like I kind of get it, but I don't really get. Yes, it's a lot of money, but no, it's not a lot of football money. I don't know if his point is that they should have given somebody else a vet minimum salary, or tried to pay him less than the vet minimum somehow, or...?

     

    My only point is that the guy is getting his ass kicked for LOW FOOTBALL MONEY and is being a professional about it. He doesn't need to be doing this. It's a miserable situation but it's probably the best stopgap for right now as long as good ol' Derek is the consummate boring professional in the locker room and doesn't get his neck broken on the football field until Josh gets back. That's it, I'm not trying to argue wealth distribution or some larger socioeconomic argument here. No matter what they have to pay somebody money to be on the field.

    He's a back up, and bad at his job. Just because Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins make a ton more, doesn't make it a relatively low salary.

     

    He's relatively bad at his job.

     

    You don't get it. At all.

     

    But he's not a backup anymore.

     

    He's getting his ass kicked as one of the lowest paid quarterbacks in the league.

     

    Calm down, Francis. I constantly see you getting all emotional in these threads. I'm sorry that we apparently disagree on the insanely unimportant topic of Derek Anderson's salary...

    75k a week isn't a lot of money?

    What?

     

    It's all relative.

     

    Compared to younger quarterbacks who won't get his as much...no, it's really not.

    Low salary? 

     

    Yes, dude, we get it. Far more than you or me or anybody who actually works for a living, but when it comes to playing QB in professional football, it is absolutely a low salary.

    I don't like the guy. Beane/McD were obviously in desperation when picking him up but he has a ***** attitude and he really did not want to be here in the first place.

     

    he's collecting a check and unfortunately will likely be here for the remainder of the season. hopefully we only have to see him on the field until the bye although it will certainly depend on allens return which I'm seeing may be in december now?

     

    their choice of bringing him in put a damper on my trust they can even build an offense but I'll give them this off season to get it right before I start calling for their heads.

    misread your quote.

     

    Derek Anderson signed a 1 year, $1,073,530 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $58,530 signing bonus, $58,530 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of$1,073,530. In 2018, Anderson will earn a base salary of $716,471 and a signing bonus of $58,530, while carrying a cap hit of $503,236.

     

     

    Huh, I see it completely differently. He left his family to get completely beat up for a relatively low salary. There was no real plan for him to start yet the worst happened, and now he's currently getting his ass kicked for the franchise and saying the right things while it happens. It's not going to be enjoyable football but the dude is being a complete professional and actually limiting the total embarrassment that this franchise could be going through right now.

    Lol, not this season. McDermott is actually a good HC, we just have zero OL and zero WRs, coupled with JA and scrub QBs. 

     

    Yeah, you're probably right. Hey it's okay everybody, we might be good at some nebulous point in the future maybe, possibly, just keep accepting this miserable BS that is actually happening right now.

     

    McDermott sucks.

    ...knowing what you know as well as what you have observed (exclude the Dennison firing for a moment), does McDermott make the tough decision(s) or is he a "loyal Wade" type as far as his staff?....just curious........

     

    Seems to be the latter. I want McDermott to make the tough decisions and stir things up, but hell, Peterman's still on the damn team. I'm starting to doubt that McD has what it takes.

    ...yup, you're right...keep churning the "turnstile to no where"....paid HUGE dividends during the "drought"......I hate the Steelers' "turnstile"....3 HC's in 48 years, Colbert as GM since 2000 and SIX Lombardis on the shelf.....what a woeful example...SMH..........

     

    I'll grit my teeth and keep rooting for the general McBeane experiment, but a coordinator or two has to go at this point. This is awful. If we're supposed to have faith in any kind of process then people need to be held accountable. Brian Daboll is simply not doing his damn job at this point.

    Because there's nothing wrong with pointing out that there's a problem. It doesn't demand that you also offer a solution. You sound like one of those people who would say "I'd like to see you try!" when someone says that someone is doing a bad job at something. Pointing out that there's a problem does not infer that the person is saying they could do better.

     

    Right? Replace them with anybody. Why are the process drones okay with spending time and money on a historically bad team? Does anybody have faith in Daboll at this point? Get rid of him.
