Of course no one will ever convince you. Rational went out the window a while ago with you and you don't even want to hear the other side in this discussion.
100% correct. He's a former first round pick who has been decent in his career, but he still could stand some time learning the game. He also just turned 26 a few months ago, so he has plenty of time. If he went to Miami and bombed (most likely scenario), his career could be basically washed up. If he waits one more year, learns from Brees, and comes back out next summer, he could land in a great spot.
I have no idea, but unless it was for like $30m guaranteed, there's no way I'd even consider going there.
$30 mil I guess you could consider, but the guy is getting $7 mil for a season. Nothing wrong with that and as you pointed out he can reassess after next year if he chooses.
Agreed. I think backup fits him well, but he's not taking any team to the promised land. At least not right now. Maybe he picks some things up from Brees and improves, it's hard to say, but Miami is in tank mode and should be focusing on grabbing their QB of the future in the 2020 draft IMO.
Didn't say that I said they may not be as bad as some think. Some are saying tanking or last but it's highly conceivable that they do a lot better. They still have a lot of young good talent that the average fan would not know. Howard for instance may just be one of the top CB's in football. We'll see how it comes together but of course if they go with Falk at QB it may not give them a chance no matter what if he's no good.
I'll take my opinion over your giving up without trying attitude any day. I've achieved success in life instead of waiting for it like Bridgewater. I really do hope that it works out for him but I can also see him missing the boat and fading away. Great decision... good for him.
I think that it was a safe bet that he'd be starting in Miami so the odds were pretty stacked in his favour compared to waiting for brees to retire. You are delusional to think that it's guaranteed next season that he will start in NO nevermind them drafting another QB to compete. This is my point that you fail to understand. Take a job if it falls in your lap...
Here is my point no one not even you guys who for some reason back his decision have any faith in him. He was given an opportunity to show himself possibly improve his value around the league yet it makes sense to hide behind brees for another year? Do you see anyone giving him 30 M of course not that's insane because he sat last year how on earth would that change next year by sitting again? He will be an unknown and another year older great plan of action for his career. I honestly feel bad for him he's getting bad advice. Sure the situation in Miami isn't perfect everyone knows this but at the same time if he proves himself he has a great chance of improving his stock. Sitting does 0...
Did you get paid $7 mil to "wait for it"?
If your goal is being a backup then good on him. My goal would be to be a starter a winner....
It's all relative he could be passing up ten times that if he took the shot and succeeded...
I don't fail to understand anything. You are calling a guy a coward and trying to determine his life and have never even spoken to him.
And if he plays poorly with garbage teammates?
