Augie Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) QB is different.Really? Are you sure? So QB is where you should pay a mediocre talent more than anyone else at the position? Have you called Whaley on this point? He might need to hear from you. My point is TT may turn out to be a hero (and I certainly hope that's the case), but you don't pay a guy like Fisher top dollar when they have proven to be no more than serviceable. Let Tyrod prove he's the man, then pay him, but not more than the Brady's, Bree's and Rodgers of the league, unless he's proven he's worth it. You pay for the real deal, not a prayer. Hope he earns it though. Edited July 31, 2016 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's one thing to blow a top 5 pick on an O-lineman. It's another level of stupid to pay one this kind of money. Based on his position, even i he was above average, there will never ever be value there. Man, how hard is it to be an NFL GM? three rules: 1. pick a good QB, 2. pick a good HC, 3. sit back and don't do anything stupid--your work is done. Yep, so simple.

mannc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Didn't they recently decline to pick up the fifth year option on Fisher, or am I misremembering? Obviously, KC sees something in the guy that some others don't. He's been on their team for three seasons so they should know better than anyone what the guy's upside is. If this were another team throwing this kind of $ at him it would be more suspect, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Teams have whiffed on the 1st overall pick before but those guys don't usually get 2nd contracts. Hes sure made a lot of money based on potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 4 year 48 million dollar extension. Added to the 2 years 15 million he has left on his deal. That is where the 63 came from. So he has a contract for 6 years/63 million. Much better for kc but still banking on improvement for it to be worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
