The point is (which you are totally missing) is that 25 million is obscene money for a backup that didn't do anything. Businesses are failing , families can't make ends meet...but a backup hardly used QB makes 25 million. Does that make sense to you?

You are worth what someone is willing to pay.

If we bring him back it won't be for (and it was 20 mill not 25). It probably will be around 10 Mill for 1 year which is reasonable.

Yes, I don’t get the hate. He is one of best backups in the league, he is well respected amongst players and staff, he is great role model outside the organization. He is not our franchise QB. If, a big if, he is re-signed it will not be for that $$. Plus he took his benching in stride and did everything asked of him. He is one of my favorite players on the team

I agree. He is a awesome teammate, is he worth 20 Mill a year, no he isn't that I will say. Having said that, 10 Mill for 1 year I can see which is still great backup money. We might bring him and Rivers back for cheaper which I would be fine with. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs with those 2 and darn near beat the Bills.

What is disingenuous?

The constant talking of how special of a player Brissett is, and even the apology by Ballard in regards to when he said "the jury is still out on Brissett". He said that was a crappy choice of words, when it was not, because his actions backed the sentiment up by signing another qb and relegating Brissett to the bench. Unless he meant they were a crappy choice of words because he had decided Brissett is nothing but a backup QB, but I doubt that. 

 

Saying he is a special player (which I am pretty sure, I have heard numerous times) seems disingenuous because their actions ultimately don't back that sentiment up. 

 

Or maybe they mean he is a special backup, which would, actually, make sense. I just have never heard of a backup QB be talked about so highly.

I guess you never heard of Gary Kubiak or Frank Reich

   They made the careers being excellent backups

So you don't see anything wrong with a backup making a million dollars per snap?

Not really.   It isn't my money.   Also,  he wasn't the backup when he signed the contract.   He also runs the scout team in practice,   works with the coaches during the week and stays ready to play.   I get you're jealous.  You gotta let it go

Ever heard Sean Payton talk about Taysom Hill?

I was only a few years old when Frank Reich was in the league. I know how he is talked about now, and I know he is famous for his great comeback against the Oilers, of which the praise for that game is absolutely warranted.

Oh..i didn't realize he did all that! He's underpaid for sure.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
