The QB market this offseason

[SteelersPride]

Its gonna be interesting.

The bar for payments has been set high...........

when some guys like Eli(geesh) and Flacco are the 33 and 36th rated passers and getting big money, just about any QB can make an argument they deserve paid.

Who gets the big money, and how much

Depends upon a few factors.

First, how much is the cap supposed to go up this year?

Second, how much cap room does the franchise in question have and now many players do they want to resign?

I know Big Ben wants a raise but how much of one can we REALLY give him? He's done some restructuring for us in the past to keep some people. I don't know that he has much room coming off the season we just had.

And keep in mind there are about 5 QB's coming out in the draft that are supposed to be really great so after they're drafted you'll see some FA's floating around on the cheap.

I guess but i just see like cutler, why not 20 million for him?

for ben, i dunno he deserves the 20 mill,

It's not about what you deserve it's about what you can afford.

Thing is, the Rooney's want to move away from pass heavy play and get back to the running game. I don't know that they're willing to pay him that. I also don't know that he's a FA this coming season.

What's a good way to find out who free agents are? I'm not finding anything easy. I know Cutler's a free agent though. Maybe the Browns make a run for him?

Ben is worth more than cutler. Neither is worth a penny more than 10 though.

10?

I don't think you realize how expensive franchise QBs are these days.

 

[JDM]

Neither resemble a franchise QB in any way.

You consistently say some absolutely insane things about football.

Cutler is football retarded and Ben is far too inconsistent.

4100 yards, 65%, 27 TD's, 12 INTS

Yeah, he sucks.

I assume Andy Dalton gets a healthy extension. Also, Cam Newton....

Titans might make a run for him.
