I can promise you, not many Saints fans give a shite about that

Exactly. Why do I care if Drew Brees was pedestrian his first three years as San Diego?

In my mind, Dallas already owes him over a ton in back pay. So if they end up giving him something like 4Y/120M, that less than 20M for a total of 7 seasons (4 + the 3 he has already played). I think that is fair..

I fail to see the relevance here. Drew's career really took off after coming to the Saints in 06, he was "pretty good" in his last two seasons in San Diego, but I don't think anyone will argue that he was great at the beginning of his career. Are you expecting that Dak will have a similar career arc to Drew? If so, that is hilarious.

Dak played significantly better than Aaron Rodgers in his first 3 years, too.

beta post

Joe Montana, widely considered to be one of the best all time, if not THE best, only threw for more than 30 td's once in his career. Nowadays, 30 is a pretty pedestrian number. Yardage is so inflated as well.

That graphic just shows how much the game has changed over the years, that's it.

So...if teams should be paying guys who outperform their rookie contracts “back pay”, should they also be clawing back money from all of the first round busts?

Tell him to frick off after this year and then just tank for Trevor Lawrence.

This isn't news. It's been known for a while that Dak has countered offers to make AT LEAST what Wentz makes. He will not be signed for less than that number. Whether he deserves it or not, you can take that to the bank.

Dak is somewhere in the 10-15th range of NFL qbs

2 of those qbs are fossils so lets put him at 8-13th

30 mil a year would put Dak at 7th highest paid QB once Mahommes signs

Seems about right

2 ...

Yeah I agree. The Cowboys should definitely pay him 30 million a year. In fact, I think they should guarantee all of it, make sure they have him locked up.

He's much closer to 15 than 10.

Rookie contracts are prove it deals. He has proved he is good enough to be a starting QB and vastly outperformed his rookie contract. When that happens, there should be some form of pay back for that service. Same thing happened with Russell Wilson. It's a factor..
