I'm all for players getting paid but these type of salaries for QB's tends to leave less for other players. That shouldn't scare you away from securing a legitimate franchise QB. Having one of those pretty much guarantees a competetive team year in, year out. I know there's examples of QBs cashing in and then the team around them begins lacking (Flacco, for example), but paying him all that money wasn't the main issue (big factor, though). It was the fact that the Ravens haven't drafted nearly as well since then, as they had in the past. Get as many players on rookie contracts as you can, and hope they over perform. It's a roster building strategy, and it doesn't always work out, but it's probably a better strategy than spending more money elsewhere, while hoping a franchise QB falls in your lap. If the Bills want good QB play, they're going to have to pay for it, eventually, unless they get lucky in the draft (how's that worked out?).

Mark Vader Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well the 49'ers have the money to do this. I'm still in the minority when it comes to the hype that Garoppolo gets. I never saw what the big deal was about him when he was coming out of Eastern Illinois, and I still don't see what the big deal is when he hasn't even played a full season. Now what is Cousins going to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: If we can get Cousins we have to. This is the market for a QB who played well in FIVE GAMES. Cousins has 3 consecutive years of top 10 production. If we draft a rookie we'll have to make them the highest paid player ever in 5 years or so. There's no avoiding it. Do it now. Cousins played well in 5 wins too last year. Draft a rookie in the first round and watch from afar as Cousins craters in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garoppolo, 49ers agree on 5-year, $137.5M deal Those questioning the small sample size or the lack of touchdowns (7 TDs, 5 INTs) are either not watching Garoppolo play or forgetting that the 49ers owned a dead-on-arrival offense before he entered the lineup. The 49ers scored 28.8 points per game under Garoppolo; they scored 17 points per tilt in games he did not start in 2017. Garoppolo immediately morphed the 49ers into one of the most enjoyable teams to watch down the stretch. He had Niners players espousing comparisons to Tom Brady, and giddily talking about his "different aura." More importantly, his arrival in San Francisco made playing hella more fun for his teammates. Garoppolo's leadership and talent caused the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick, to balk at getting rid of the quarterback before he absolutely had to make a move. As colleague Chris Wesseling eloquently detailed, Belichick envisioned Jimmy G as the perfect post-Brady quarterback. Only TB12 stiff-arming Father Time caused a ripple in that plan.

hondo in seattle Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) In the era of the quarterback, you have to do deals like this. Franchise QBs are hard to find, but in his 49er starts Jimmy sure looked like a good one. If you dork around with QBs, you become the Buffalo Bills of the past 17 years. You can never know for sure, but the signs are that Garoppolo is a good one. At this point the 49ers have to go all in and hope for the best. Better to pay the man at the beginning of his ascendancy than sign a big priced FA at his peak moving toward his decline.

Garropolo probably would've accepted the tag and signed a long term deal if he had a good year. Now, QB's and agents can point to Cousins and say 'if you don't believe in me to pay me now you can franchise me but I'll never sign a long term deal with you and you can watch me walk out the door in 2 years'.

Lfod Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Patriots could of traded away Tom Brady's replacement. If it comes back to haunt them it's a win.
