OT: Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence agree to 5-year, $275M deal

[Bearly]

The market is the market

And it's a boon for the average starting QB. The top QBs are a bargain by comparison.

 

[SlickWilly]

The lions too paid goofy top dollar and one thing he's shown is he cant win anything, which is the reason the Rams got rid of him.

These teams dont have options, maybe they shoulda hireed Ryan Poles as GM and they'd have options.

Uh there were quite a few that started insisting last year that because right around the Falcons game that Justin Fields was the only QB good from the 2021 class and they kept it up until Justin was traded. For some reason y'all wiped the Packers game from your memory and insisted he was good on the verge of being great.

Prove it idiot.

Quick glance at Trevor's stats says he is better than any QB the Bears have ever had.

And like I said in a previous post dipshit, the most wins he's ever gotten the team is 9. Fuck stats, wins are all that matter.

That literally means nothing. Even you know this

Goofy has won 5 playoff games.

I believe Dilfer has also won 5 playoff games. Not sure what your point is here.

Didn't Kerry Collins make a super bowl?

Didn't Kerry Collins make a super bowl?

Yep.

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Yep.

I just looked. What a super bowl that was! Kerry collins vs. Trent different. Combined for like 260 yards passing

 

[zabavka]

I recall many claims here that Fields was better than Lawrence.

 

[PrideisBears]

Dude was averaging like one TD and one INT per game last season. Dude just has a great PR team

Jags just basically capped themselves at 10-7 for the next few years, in a best case scenario. Highest possible finish is a divisional round loss. Maybe they’ll get lucky and go 11-6!

That’s a losing team the next few seasons

 

[BNB]

People are correct however, the Jags have zero options and had to sign him. I'd have just let him play out year 4.

That's my angle. What's the rush? Let him prove himself one more year before paying him. Yeah, yeah... the price will go up... But if actually proves himself, I'd be comfortable paying a guy a couple mil more per season if he' worth it than regret overpaying someone who proves he isn't worth it.

 

[PrideisBears]

He certainly was more dynamic. Would you pay Lawrence that amount?

 

[PrideisBears]

I think he’s above average, just don’t think he’ll ever win much except for hollow stats and the occasional wildcard game.

Barely

If the option is to keep fields and pay him on his rookie deal or pay trevor lawrence 55m/yr to suck I'd rather just keep fields.

I didnt agree with paying fields and I dont agree with paying lawrence. Neither of them have been good. 55m/yr is a joke for a guy who's average. They should have waited a year.

The price likely wont go up that much cause who is even looking for a new deal next year? All the QB's from 2022 draft sucked ballsacks and I think the only guy still looking for a new deal from the existing NFL QB's is like...dak?

Pretty much all the "franchise" qb's in the NFL are under contract at this point unless I'm missing someone? Tua the only other I can think of but Miami doesnt really even want him.

The packers are about to pay love in the 40's. I'd take love 100% over trevor lawrence, as much as it pains me to say. His one year of starting was 10x more impressive than anything lawrence has ever done.

The market for a bit better than average qb is that?

 

[greg23]

So RB1 sucked worse than the "haters/racists/etc" thought?

A guy who is average is also a guy who sucks, got it.

A guy who has two 4,000 yard passing seasons in two years with absolutely no talent around him is average.

But you use the talent excuse for Justin Fields failure. Make it make sense why a guy whose best receiver would currently be the fourth best WR on the Bears this year and third best a year ago sucks.
