Sam Bradford is not good when he plays, and he rarely plays. I guess 16 million per year is the new QB floor.

Sanchez is a literal back-up, though. We're talking "hired to be a starting QB".

SANCHEZ is not Bradford, even if you can't tell them apart.

Cheapest QB to win ratio is Brady by a mile. cheating rear end patriots.

The deal seems dumb to me because I don't believe in Bradford, but quarterbacks are expensive things. Brock Osweiler started 4 games in his career and looked mediocre as hell and someone is probably going to give him something ridiculous like 15 mill a year.

I thought Flynn was ridiculous on a $/start basis, but I guess it's closer than I thought:

Flynn: ~$20M/14 starts = $1.43M/start
Bradford (before this contract): $78M/63 starts = $1.24M/start

For shits and giggles:

Tom Brady: $163M/223 = $731k/start
Peyton Manning: $249M/265 = $936k/start
Aaron Rodgers: $111M/119 = $933k/start
Jay Cutler: $96M/134 = $716k/start

With the amount of money the best quarterbacks draw into the league week after week, it's kind of hosed that they're not even making a million per game when you think about it

And yet they have monster contracts that take up like 1/7th of their teams Salary Cap.

Although if we look at QBs once their rookie contracts are up after the new CBA their numbers should be higher. Dont rookie contracts go like 20mil over 4 years with a team option for a 5th year at an inflated number for that 5th year? If we look at Joe Flacco he played his rookie contract and then got a 20mil/year contract which is over a mil a game.
