BigBillsFan Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Excellent contract for both parties only if you factor in the overpricing of QBs. It's really a 2 year deal that becomes 4 if he does well and if he does the Titans have him at what will be a median salary for the following 2 years. Not bad for a guy has "just above average" stats for starters. He's the perfect fit for that team with his maturity. He's basically David Carr's older twin for QBing. They play almost identical football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will only be paid as a top 10 QB on average yearly salary for about a year. By year three of this contract (incidentally the year when it is the most problematic in terms of cap) I doubt he is even in the top 15 of annual salaries. No QB is going to allow themselves to be pitched where they are now in the market..... because if they do then in 2 years they will be underpaid. Also not the point. This isn't about his ranking - it's just the indicator. I'm also not blaming the players. The players ability isn't congruent with the rise in QB salaries can only make it that much more challenging to build the rest of the roster.

Indeed but it doesn't put the Titans at any more of a disadvantage than anyone else because that is just the market force. What it has done the past 5 or 6 years is made it ever more important to win when u have a rookie QB on that cheap rookie deal. But finding good QBs in the draft is hard enough without deciding to just dump each guy at the end of their rookie deal and find a new one.

JMF2006 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think its a fair deal for both sides. 2023 could be converted to signing bonus per the new CBA and give the team cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's he's not the 7th best QB in the league but you have to pay him as such. It's outrageous what these QB's are making and it's very difficult to build a team when you're paying a decent QB - elite money. he might be about the 7th best qb in the league. there is such a small difference between 7 and 14. barely anything. tanny is gonna give you 25 tds, 10-12 picks close to 4k pass yards and a couple hundred rush yards. that's his average stat line. if he has some nice defense and a run game they will win some games. like a lot of qbs.

Obviously if you think he's the 7th best QB in the NFL - then he's worth the money. He's always had decent stats, I don't think that's the issue at all.
