The guy had a half season of great play

And gets $155 million guaranteed.
Love is as likeable a QB as there is in the league.

These QB salaries are ridiculous now. WTF?
Dak has to love this

He’s up next and will probably top this.

The QB class from the 2020 NFL Draft is getting PAID. Five QBs were drafted top-100 that year:

Joe Burrow ($55m/year)
Jordan Love ($55m)
Tua Tagovailoa ($53.1m)
Justin Herbert ($52.5m)
Jalen Hurts ($51m)
$55 million a year

Agreed. This reward is based on 8 games. Jordan's second half of 2023. Which is pretty remarkable...
That is very rich  
UberAlias : 7/26/2024 9:30 pm : link
But I guess the point is, there are fewer franchise guys than there are teams. So if you think you have one, pay the man.
I know the market, but that is ridiculous.

Yes it is. We will finally see the return of Danny Dimes this season. I firmly believe that. I don't care what the doubters say. In Daboll I trust.

It's not doubters. It's what we've already seen. Look, I hope we see the QB the giants paid for. But, the reality is we have yet to see that guy.

likes Jones so much that he fully endorsed Schoen's attempt to trade a ton of draft capital to move up for Maye, and would have supported a similar effort to get Daniels if that was possible.

The clock is now on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Prescott was in a position to wait on Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa deals to finalize, then bat cleanup with the last QB deal of the cycle.

It's not about having a good year. Prescott HAS to win.

Dallas is actually smart not committing to Prescott. Have him prove it. If he does Dallas will pay him or he could choose free agency.

By not signing Prescott Dallas is doing the right thing not committing 5 more years to the same old same old.
I’m not sure Dallas is punting the decision

We kicked their ass. He was 25-39 1 TD 1 int. 24-22. If DJ did that with only 2 carries 1/2 of BBI would be calling for his head. Granted he got better. But agree it was less than 1/2 of a season.
For damn sure...

they certainly didnt watch any of him in the first half of the year. he played well down the stretch but i am shocked they had to pay this much for him off 1 good half season. i wouldnt be all that comfortable paying tua but i get it, he's at least had 3 good years. id have gone 1 more year with love even if the price went up as a result.

Please stop. “Return” of what? A mediocre scrambling QB who had success against weak defenses two years ago and got completely exposed by competent teams? I hope he plays well and the Giants win this year, but let’s not act like he has ever had a season this warranted a “return” to greatness.
Dec 11, 2023 Packers At Giants  
Trainmaster : 7/27/2024 1:58 am : link
De Vito 17-21 158 yds 1 TD 0 Ints

Love 25-39 218 yds 1 TD 1 Int

My recollection De Vito outplayed Love that day.

Of course Love is a better QB than De Vito, but I think this is a massive overpay by the Packers.

And I have some friends and neighbors who are obnoxious Packers fans, so I hope this contract blows up in Green Bay’s face.

And I think sometimes the other players resent it.

Love definitely should've been franchised, or at least made to do it again before getting paid.

Tua's contract is just as crazy. Scary injuries aside, I don't know if he's that good. I'm no fan of Jones by any means, but I think even Jones would produce in Miami.

This is where I’m at too. I wouldn’t have done it because I don’t see him every day like they do, which is such an easy thing to gloss over as a fan. But he’s there guy and now you lock him in and don’t have to worry about this dragging, and can instead focused on how else to improve the team with zero uncertainty at QB. And like Tua, if it doesn’t work after a couple seasons there will take it on the chin for a year or two and move on.

It is more defensible than Tua. Love had the talent but was raw as heck coming out which is why people criticized the first round selection. Everyone knew it would basically take the entire rookie contract at a minimum to know what you had with him. It may backfire, but it is a gamble worth taking when you see what lesser QB’s have received.

Is a ridiculous contract. Before the season, there were doubts he could be an NFL QB and now he is the highest paid player in league history? The hypocrisy around here is comical.
It may look like an overpay now but  
ajr2456 : 7/27/2024 12:32 pm : link
If he plays this year like he did down the stretch it will look like a bargain.

Also, now twice the packers have drafted a QB while having a HOFer still playing well.

The Giants haven’t drafted one in six years.

So that's what we need to be praying for --someone outside the top 5. Maybe there was last year, maybe there wasn't. But it gives me hope.
