OT: Jalen Hurts Becomes Highest Paid Player in NFL History

[FreeTedWilliams]

Hurts was a second round pick (53 overall in 2020), so no 5th year option.

Dude, I will give you $100k if you can go into ONE thread between now and week 1 of the regular season without taking a shot at Mac.

I’m sorry I just speak what I see.

For 100k?? Bro!

For 100k?? Bro!

Hey, he has integrity in his beliefs, I can respect that.

I don't have 100 grand anyway, so I'm relieved.

For 100k I'd become Mac10/Showtime15 so fast it would make your head spin. I would look at it as a job.

Hurts was great last season and he capped it off with a terrific Super Bowl performance. Heading into next season he's arguably the 4th best QB in the NFL behind only Mahomes, Allen, and Burrow. But his arm isn't great and he has an excellent team around him (A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were among the best WR duos in the league last season). So I'm not 100% convinced he is going to have a HOF career. But right now I like the player a lot.

Also, this contract for Hurts makes Lamar's demands seem comparatively reasonable.

for me if those ducks don’t improve it would have to be a job I hate.
I’d have to say things such as oh yeah well who wants a qb who throws missies or frozen ropes cause it hurts the wr hands causing dropped balls and injuries to the fingers.

Macs balls drop like a balloon toss at a toddlers birthday party making it easy to catch on the hands.

Sure he’s not hitting them in stride but we never have to be concerned about our WRs injuring their fingers.

Well who needs big plays the new nfl is about death by 1000 paper cuts and nobody can **** back and throw 7 yds like our Mac.

He’s wicked smart oh how do I know that because if he’s not a scrambler he has to smart or he wouldn’t be playing.

Who cares Allen can run thru backers he’s asking for injury and or concussions Mac will have a long healthy career because he runs from contact even when it isn’t there or a threat to be.
Our Mac is safe and we aren’t sorry.

(1) questionable call away from winning the Super Bowl. Or at least a chance to win it. My Philly friends are celebrating today. No QB controversy for the next 5-10 years.

Did I forget how to math because I don’t think 255/5 = 41

Just like BAL fans who celebrated after signing Flacco, but they actually won their Super Bowl.

Simply hard to believe

I hate the language "fully guaranteed at signing" vs "total guaranteed" -- if they are different, they aren't guarantees!

 

[PatsFan2]

Eagles have a lot of nice pieces around their QB I don't think I would give a QB that much in this scenario.

 

[PatsFan2]

They better hope he doesn't get Hurts no pun intended.

Of course it was intended. You capitalized the H...

Lamar has lost some serious $$ in interest already with this money not in his bank account, and keeps losing day by day

No It wasn't I always capitalize names.

 

[farn]

Of course it was intended. You capitalized the H...

And added the ‘s’

 

[ahmed]

Our fan base on this site needs to get used to paying market rate for franchise QBs. That's just reality.

You all got twisted by Brady's cheap contracts for 20 years.

Yes they are taking a risk given that he just broke out last year but it's a good one given his progress since joining the league. Otherwise they will have to pay even more next year.

Good thing, I was about to ask if you could issue a cash-prize forum challenge to me
