They did him a solid by paying him _almost_ starting QB money. He's also taken a lot of heat and has gotten on the wrong side of the fanbase to the point the majority want him gone. He's earned his money. I'm not concerned about Irsay's money. He gave Luck $24 million for absolutely nothing when he quit. At least Jacoby tried. Luck didn't.
