Who do want Ballard to go after in a trade, FA or draft? QB ONLY thread

Sam Darnold lite

Stop making sense.

Because this is his LAST contract and last chance of maximizing his earning potential. What did the colts pay rivers this last year $25 million? And he’s going to settle for less?

Stop living in fantasy land and join the real world. This is about playing football and getting paid and if you’re going to risk your ass you might as well get paid well

Contract extensions typically involve adding years to a deal, and those years typically have all the new/big money, plus part of the appeal of Stafford would've been having a franchise caliber QB at a bargain cap hit while the pandemic is affecting the cap.

If he's able to do what he does on the field in that kind of shape, getting him in an NFL strength and conditioning program will be even more advantageous than I'd originally thought. Obviously workout bonuses should be negotiated into the contract.

My guess is the 4.0 GPA and Master's degree in 4 years while being the starting QB on the best team in college football for 1.5 years of that.

Jesus. I know QBs can be kinda divas when it comes to lifting. But do push-ups and crunches at least. I’m in better shape than he is.

Jordan love sucks dude. Rogers has some bargaining power with anything he does otherwise he can just tell the Packers. I'll retire and you have Jordan. The Pack knows that they are in a horrible situation if Rogers retires, sits, asks for a trade etc. They will be fucked with Love at QB.
