Matt Ryan 5yr/$103.75 mil extension.

[Spaceman Piff]

not sure whats that supposed to mean, but if you think Im a blind homer who just started thinking this after Niners were successful with Harbaugh, you couldnt be more wrong. Im a pretty critical fan. have actually been called negative nancy by fellow team fans

nah, i meant the league is changing. but we're not gonna change each other's minds so

MoneyBall is a concept of finding value in baseball. Again two different sports, two different economic structures

moneyball is a concept of finding cheaper products that are underrated instead of paying for more expensive
it can be applied to anything, its not really a baseball philosophy. again, ask HHR

Matt Ryan just signed his deal for a little over $100 million how is that a made up number? You literally just typed some numbers and put a million behind it like it was a real number b/c you got frustrated that you sound like an idiot

fair enough, I missed that point.

Bledsoe got hurt, Brady has been signed to contracts worth more than 100 million dollars
Favre got traded to NYJ b/c he fell out with the organization, not because of contract demands. Rodgers just signed a HUGE deal & he's worth it
Montana got traded to KC, Steve Young got paid handsomely in SF & he was worth it too

you asked me about smith/kaep situation, all three qbs were groomed and replaced good qbs.

If you believe that not paying a player market value for his service makes sense you know nothing about economics. You can't run an organization not paying people what they deserve to make unless you're a cheap b*stard such as yourself who thinks the punter & quarterback should have the same pay grade

the market doesnt dictate what players 'deserve', players values relative to each other do. if every idiot in the country wants to drink beer today and I have to pay 50 bucks for a beer that doesnt mean price is justified.
in fact, you can see this with gas prices.
again a cheap ass hyperbole by your dumb ass

again, gms in every sport have made shrewd move letting overrated players leave for more money and signing underrated players for cheaper then they're worth. but I guess they dont understand anything about economics

So tell me which position in team sports is more important than QB in football. Don't give me a generic answer "all positions are important because it's team sports" crap.

its a generic answer for you, but a good enough answer for me.perhaps the main reason why I absolutely love football (and soccer) is because of team being more important than anything. more individualist sports like pro bball and baseball dont appeal as much to me.

when a commentator is sucking off a qb for a routine throw, Im enjoying the block right guard made in the B gap to negate the inside rush, and Im enjoying the RB picking up the strong side safety blitz to make this throw possible

 

[yseJ]

anyway I feel like Ive taken this thread too far offtopic, I think ima stop here, Ive had this argument many times before.

dont wanna be a dikk so Im dappin each one of my opponents here. while we severely disagree I got respect for yall. even trip

Routine throw?

Good QBs make it look routine because they understand where the hole in the defense is and where his receivers are. No other position in sports where a player has the amount of responsibilities as a QB has in every single play. You don't seem to comprehend what a QB has to do in every single play, even before the snap.

again, you should look at my posts in football threads, I know football. Im not someone who just got into football yesterday, let me clarify and emphasize that. Im not a redzone child who only watches the big plays or scores either. anyway, I'm out, just wanted to point this out before I leave

 

[daemonova]

I'm not the biggest Matt Ryan fan but we was going to have to pay that money,.so relatively, we didn't get fleeced so i'm cool with it

Rodgers, Ryan, Brady Best Ever Protecting The Football

Chris Redman is selling medical cream in Kentucky now breh

We cut him in training camp last season

Dominique Davis is our #2

nyggas talkin but don't know a damn thing about other teams rosters.

 

[Bboystyle]

Julio's not going anywhere. As far as this being their peak, that wasnt the best Ravens team of the past 5 years and they won. Anything can happen in a one game elimination...its about consistently getting there(playoffs) and thats what having solid QB play year in and year out gets you.

He's not in the upper tier, but he's in the Eli, Ben tier....guys who arent "elite" but guys capable of winning the SB if the stars align.

Breh dont ever compare Eli to Matt. Matt playoff numbers are horrible. He is not capable of winning shyt.

Yeah bc Eli doesn't have any playoff stinkers. :Rudy: Not every QB takes the same career arc in the playoffs....Ryan played well in last years playoffs.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

He's a step higher than Flacco but 5 steps lower than Brady, Manning, Rodgers and Brees. If the Falcons can still afford there WR's, TE and a decent offensive line while paying him big money than its a win. But if his contract starts to eat into other players like the Flacco deal and the Falcons have to start shipping people off than it will be a disaster.

Dog...good franchises with good gm's like the Falcons and Ravens plug players in via the draft. Julio isn't going anywhere and I guarantee you Ozzie Newsomw isn't losing an ounce of sleep losing Dannell Ellerbe(an UDFA) to the Dolphins.

If the Falcons can keep plugging good talent around him than its a win for both of them. But the minute they start fukking up in the draft or that huge salary starts to affect who they can and can't resign than its gonna blow up in there face. I just can't see Ryan carrying a team like Brady, Rodgers, Manning and Brees can.

Other than Julio- who is a must resign?

Rice will play out his deal then Pierce will be the Ravens back. Good teams have quality players replacements before they leave. The QB is the toughest to replace, which is why he gets paid the most.
