Josh to Gabe just kept getting better and better. But then….. 😱 You have to be able to put the ending aside, but even that just goes to make it more memorable. Hopefully, a few Super Bowl trophies from now, we will look back on that game as the the last step of our growing into a truly Championship team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I really like Stafford, but.... At this point in his career, $40-45M? He just isn't that guy. The list of guys in the NFL today worth $45M per based on a $208M salary cap is very short. Allen, Mahomes, Rodgers. Those are the only guys I don't hesitate with. I have Herbert and Burrow as a coin flip as to whether you gambled that kind money this early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 3 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: There were a lot of people on TSW who were all about Kirk Cousins in 2016-2017. The drum beat reached it's highest level in winter 2018 when we were sitting at 21 & 22 and they thought we should sign Cousins for mega bucks & use our draft picks on other positions. Every time I'd see a sign Cousins thread I'd scream NO multiple times at the computer. Cousins has always looked better on paper than on the field. That's why he never wins enough games.

DCofNC Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I wouldn’t pay either of them that. Stafford was not great this year, yet he got it done. He’s a fringe top 10 guy, right there with Cousins. So I get why people would be interested in having a guy like that to get them over the hump, but you have to have a helluva team to be “just a QB away”. I don’t know if the Rams really have a choice, they gave up the farm to get him, that would be too much to have him there for a short time, even if he did get the ring. I don’t think anybody that needs a QB would be considered instant contenders with Cousins. The only situation where I see a team that’s just a QB away from being a serious contender is Indy. Cousins would be a great fit for them and in theory, they could make his demands work.. kinda hope they don’t haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about those two in the same sentence, but it's perfect. They are underachievers. If you're a KC fan, if you're a Bills fan, if you're a Packers fan, if you were a Saints fan, with the game on the line, you think, "my QB's got this." If you're a Cowboys fan or a Vikings fan, you think, "come on, man, get the job done this time." Their good numbers don't add up to great quarterbacking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) If each year the % of money allocated to each position rises, then it would seem like the only reason to not rush signing extensions would be player health and desire to take advantage of rookie contracts. Buffalo has been exceptional in this area, specifically with Josh. His deal will feel like a discount in a few years. Tre being a potential example of why you wait, but how can we really say this? Do you risk alienating a player and build a bad culture by always milking the rookie deal as long as possible? Some teams do. This brings me to an interesting hypothetical. Say they never extended White, activated his 5th year option, and he suffers this injury. What do you do now? I imagine we would have franchised him with no injury if we went with the above. No idea what would happen now. Edited March 8, 2022 by KzooMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts and Doritos Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Any GM that even dreams about paying Cousins that kind of $ needs to be fired when they wake up. He's overpaid as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I generally agree that Cousins gets crapped on too much..... it's amazing how quickly Bills fans forget what it was like to have bad QB play and then disparage good QB play as soon as we ourselves found a great one..... the point that folks are making that the QB market is bad at recognising tiers in the same way as other markets is a fair one. The reason the QB market is broken is because the demand outstrips supply and it is really difficult to compensate in other areas for a bad Quarterback. I'd argue in the league at the moment there are 4 real top guys then about 8 or 9 very good guys then maybe another 4 or 5 capable game managers and then a huge drop off. The only other position in the league where I would argue the gap between the best starter and the 32nd best starter is so wide is Tight End and that is just such a less important position in contrast. You can compensate for bad TE play and win 13 games (as the Bills basically did in 2020 before Knox broke out some). For the other positions the gap is not as wide and again you can compensate to some extent with scheme. If you have bad receivers you can build a passing game that features tight ends and backs. If you have bad corners you can give them lots of safety help. If you have bad edge rushers you can blitz and get interior pressure.... but there is no scheme answer for bad Quarterback play. You can hide it for a game or two here or there but eventually it hamstrings you as we saw with Nick Mullens in San Fran a year or two ago. Shanahan could make him look serviceable for 2 or 3 weeks but once teams had film... that soon disappeared. That is why the market isn't very good at distinguishing between Josh Allen and Kirk Cousins.

NewEra Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 12 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: You were the one who set the bar at QB's who "getting their team to the SB" (while not "crippling the cap") not me. And clearly Rodgers has fallen into that category the past few years and quite possibly in years to come. They have been paying him tons to get to the SB--crippling the cap along the way. I'm not comparing Cousins to Rodgers----except with this very specific metric you have offered (as a way of criticizing paying Cousins). There are stats to combat both sides of almost every debate in sports. My comment is the reason 99% of the world thinks kirk cousins is just a better than average guy and don’t want him on their team. It’s the reason the Vikings took kellen mond in the 3rd round last year. It’s the reason media is constantly advising that the Vikings be in the QB hunt this offseason. It’s the reason why 17 people have lol’d @ my comment kirk cousins making 40M. You don’t even have a dog in the fight. You just target one statement and argue for the sake of arguing. You don’t think Kirk cousins is worth 40m per year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway...It was your statement--you're crying to me because, as it turns out, It damns Rodgers as much as it does Cousins--for the same reason. You didn't think this through, obviously. I'm free to point that out. Pick your metrics more carefully next time I guess. Edited March 9, 2022 by Mr. WEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
