[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 839207"] Maybe it was Cousins getting that 3 year, $84 mil, [B][I]fully guaranteed[/I][/B] deal with Minnesota that broke the structure. Usually a QB has to win games to get that big contract. While he put up decent numbers, 102 QB rating in 2015, 4900 yds in 2016, yada yada, Cousins had not demonstrated he has those winning intangibles in going 24-23-1 in his 3 full seasons as a starter in Washington. Minnesota took a step back last season to Cousins' typical performance at 8-7-1. This offseason, in a moment of weakness, Cousins affirmed just this; he has to demonstrate he can win more games. I'd say so given that contact and that defense. Minnesota should have thought about that before breaking the bank. Or maybe they did, which is why the deal was for 3 years, and not a longer deal with a big signing bonus with dead cap stretching out into years 4 and beyond. It's a lot of money without a great deal of confidence it would seem. An arm to do just enough on the offensive side to win the prize (the Flaco / Foles model?) before the young defenders get to second contracts and the window closes. Or maybe it was Derek Carr that broke the structure with that 5 year/$125 mil extension after 2016. At least he was coming off a 12-3 record as a starter. But that's a ball control/game manager type coming off a broken fibula. If memory serves, that deal put Carr at the top of the heap momentarily. Or maybe it was Stafford's 5 year/$135 mil deal after 2016, with a 51-58 career record to that point as a starter that bent the curve? He did have a 10 win and an 11 win season, so at least there's that. Lots of fireworks, a couple of years with big fantasy points, lots of inconsistency. Folks aound here got bent out of shape over Rodgers 62.3% completion percentage with all those throwaways, playing on gimped up knee with a bunch of rookie WRs and a new TE. Stafford's career completion percentage is 62.4%. Hope sells season tickets I guess. It's not the top dogs getting to the top of the heap momentarily, as in the case of Rodgers now being equaled or surpassed, depending on how you look at it, by Wilson. It's the lesser lights getting to the top of the heap momentarily that bends the curve. [/QUOTE]
