T-Rode's Unpopular Opinion - Session 4:

Here is a list of some of the Free Agent Quarterbacks that were signed before within the last two years

Kirk Cousins - 3 years, $84 mill fully guaranteed
Case Keenum - 2 years, $36 mill with $25 million guaranteed
Sam Bradford - 1 year, $20 mill
Derek Carr - 5 years, $125 mill with $70.2 million guaranteed
Matthew Stafford - 5 years, $135 mill with $92 million guaranteed

The combined career playoff W-L record of those quarterbacks is 1-5.
None of these QBs has a winning record as a starter.
The combined career regular season W-L record of those quarterbacks (including this year) is 188-207-3.
The combined regular season W-L record this season of those quarterbacks is 13-28-1.

That kind of money should be reserved for QBs that have had success in the league. None of these QBs have led their team to a Super Bowl. Only 1 QB has won a playoff game (Case Keenum). None of these quarterbacks have had the type of success to warrant this type of money and it's arguable whether or not any of these QBs have the ability to have any of the type of success to warrant this type of money in the future.

None of these QBs deserved the money they got and quite frankly, all but 1 DON'T deserve to be a starting QB in the NFL.

But, that's just my unpopular opinion.

Well T...imo this is not really unpopular.

What I see is the game has evolved or has been changed to favor the OFC for the last decade. Where a defender can hit, how they can cover has really opened up the passing game. If you have good midrange accuracy, you can be a star in this league....I don't think you can reach superstar levels w/o winning something something significant, but over the 16 game season...4,000 yds is the new 3,0000 yds.

So...if you don't have one of those QBs...you have to be excellent in other areas to win consistently and that's hard to do. (note JAX) OFC production drive these salaries more than championships obviously but there is another tier reserved for the upper crust of the league...the Gold Jacket Club. That pretty much ensures endorsement $ for life for a QB that wants it.
