You're right. Brady isn't getting a 30 million dollar signing bonus. Someone just made that up. LOL

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Hoppy's sensitive because his wife is the money earner in his family. Boom! There's parity.

 

[CityOChampBrew]

I heard it was 30 million lol. I blame whoever told me that through the radio. Brady is a ****** nevertheless ...

****** or not. He's the best qb in the league.

 

[ChshreCat]

****** or not. He's the best qb in the league.

Was. For a while. Not lately though.

Alex Smith heading to the chiefs. And Kaepernick will hit his sophomore slump in 2013 as defenses figure him out. Haaaa hahaaa hahaa!

Smith was overpaid for by the Chiefs. I'm SO glad Reid is out of Philly. He's KC's problem now...

 

[dfc]

How is no one laughing at the Chiefs? Trading pick number 34 for Alex Smith? They could have drafted Barkley, Wilson, Bray, Manuel, etc. in the second round and been better off long term. Why make that trade unless you think you're 1 player away from winning.

See my above post.

I was surprised to see Alex Smith go for a second round pick. The Chiefs clearly overpaid for him, and as DFC pointed out there was value in the 2nd round this year for QBs. Alex Smith is not a Peyton Manning. He needs to be in the right system to succeed and isn't capable of carrying a team on his back. Honestly, who else was going to trade for him? Jacksonville obviously has a need but they're probably the only team worse at evaluating QBs than the Jets. Perhaps Arizona, but I think we'll see them try to get value in the 2nd round and hope that Kolb stays healthy.

Hoppy, Chshre, my apologies... I've been trying to figure out exactly where the mistake came from, and I'm asuming that Cape and I both read the same article over at PatsPulpit, that apparently got the signing bonus wrong by a factor of 10. Everywhere else I'm reading does indeed explain the signing bonus as $30 million, spread out over the next two years (spread out for cap space reasons). Still, that's awfully team friendly when you compare it to the contract that Drew Brees signed just last year, where his signing bonus was a one time hit of $37 million.

 

[Cape Brewing]

That is totally different than how it was reported.

It was reported that his signing bonus was only $3mm while $30mm of his existing contract and the extension became guaranteed. Two pretty different things.

I am seeing it now too though...

Now they are saying it was a $30mm signing bonus with the out years being guaranteed if he is on the roster for the last game of the 2014 season... Which, unless he dies, he will be.

Regardless... The argument of "selfless my azz" is still retarded because signing bonus or not, he still took a lot less money than he needed to while locking himself into the Pats for the rest of his career.

 

[ChshreCat]

Hoppy, Chshre, my apologies...

*facepalm*

Seriously? Apologies? Do you not know what forum this is? You can't let being wrong stop you from being an obnoxious a$$ here. I mean, it's worked for Moto for a long time now! :rockin:

 

[Accidic]

Say what you want about Tony Romo - he's still vastly superior to any QB the Jets have on their roster.

That really made me giggle.

How do you say Tony Romo in spanish?

Mark Sanchez.

How is no one laughing at the Chiefs? Trading pick number 34 for Alex Smith? They could have drafted Barkley, Wilson, Bray, Manuel, etc. in the second round and been better off long term. Why make that trade unless you think you're 1 player away from winning.

Because for all Smith's faults he is a safe bet than the others you've listed. He's basically what they thought Cassel was. He won't blow you away on the field or do anything to win the game but he will rarely lose it for you. He did extremely well last year and with some consistent coaching on his side he looked like he might turn into a little bit of what they thought he'd be when they drafted him. If I remember correctly he was 7 passes short of one of the passer ratings in history which is just odd considering the tribulations that poor kid went through.

And no, they're not one player away from winning... But they were a QB away from being more than just a complete and total laughing stock. In this case Smith is a drastic improvement and for all of Reid's faults, he's done fairly decent with QBs (although the recent Vick nightmares kind of reduce his stock a bit). I don't think they'll make the playoffs or anything but they'll at least pick themselves up a little bit and probably win 3 or 4 games they wouldn't have otherwise won.

Barkley might have a shot but USC quarterbacks don't have a very good track record in the NFL. I don't think Geno will fall that far in the draft honestly as he can be moved to a different position and still have a pretty good career. The QBs this year are terrible. I don't really think a 34th pick is necessarily wasted as he's been around long enough they know what they'll get with him. Now Carson Palmer a few years ago... THAT was a complete ripoff for the insanity they traded for him. But the QBs coming out of the draft this year (SAVE ***MAYBE*** Barkley and very VERY longshot on Geno (who again will do well in other roles if it comes to that)) are garbage. Judging by his performance last year I'd even go so far as to say that kid that Washington stole later in the draft is probably better than the lot of them.

Mark Sanchez.

Incorrect. Russell Wilson in 5 years is Tony Romo, if you're lucky.

 

[Darwin18]

In Mark Sanchez's wildest dreams he's as talented as Tony Romo. Hell, he was outplayed in 2012 by Blaine Gabbert.

Sanchez in 2012
YDS CMP% TD INT RAT
2883 54.3 13 18 66.9

Blaine Gabbert in 2012 (Only 10 games)
YDS CMP% TD INT RAT
1662 58.3 9 6 77.4

Cmon man i know this is offseason and we've all taken some time off but dont bring that Hoppy level post in here theres only so many faceplam posters we can allow per thread

 

[Lazarous]

Wilson is so over rated it's not even funny

 

[HoppyDaze]

Wilson is so over rated it's not even funny

Not after next years MVP season

Wonder where Woodson ends up.

That is all

 

[ChshreCat]

I'm still curious how drunk Cape had to get when he discovered he was wrong about something and Hoppy was right.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Didn't happen

 

[Cape Brewing]

I was F&^*$@ right the first time....

According to Peter King this morning... :

" Keep in mind Brady was going to make $30 million in cash in the next two years, not guaranteed. Now he'll make $33 million, guaranteed. (In many quarters, it was reported Brady was handed a new $30 million signing bonus, but it wasn't new money -- just a guaranteeing of the money he was supposed to make in 2013 and '14, with a $3 million sweetener added.)"

so he didn't get a "$30mm signing bonus"... it was like I said the other day originally. They simply took the $30 he was scheduled to make and made it guaranteed.... and added the $3mm to that.

 

[stratslinger]

Well that makes a helluva lot of sense...

 

[Darwin18]

Joe Flacco - six years, $120.6 million with $52 million guaranteed. Bwahahahaha!!!! Terrible, terrible, overpay.

 

[stratslinger]

Come on man, but Joe's elite!!!

Nope. I can't say that with a straight face.

 

[HoppyDaze]

I'd take Flacco's future over Brady's all day...

 

[Darwin18]

I'd take Flacco's future over Brady's all day...

Just a couple years ago, people were arguing for the Ravens to either cut or trade Flacco and start looking for a replacement. I hate Brady as much as anyone else, but if I had to pick one to win a game with right now, I would pick Brady. Flacco benefited from having a much better defense than the Pats this year. Honestly, Flacco is in the group of QBs with Philip Rivers, Ben Rothlesburger, and Eli Manning - good enough to win a championship with IF you surround them with enough talent but not great enough to carry the team on their own like a Peyton Manning or the Brady of 5 - 6 years ago could.
