Rich Eisen Weighs In on the Impact of Tua Tagovailoa & Jordan Love’s Huge New Contracts

A few of the massive QB contracts are going to age very poorly

I hate, just hate, the "combined playoff win/loss record." The win/loss record for all playoff QBs in a single playoff season is .500 (has to be). If you take playoff teams, say 16 of them in a standard single elimination bracket, eight of them end 0-1, four end 1-1, two end 2-1, one ends 3-1, one ends 4-0. Only four of the 16 will have a winning playoff record! It's the format!

The simple truth is the Super Bowl wins on that list will remain low. Most QB's won't win a SB. That's just the way it is. But the NFL makes more and more $ w/ every passing year and new TV deals so it's only fair the players get bigger and bigger contracts. If those QB's put butts in seats then the money is well spent by the teams.

We have a bunch of Sam Bradfords playing in the NFL.

100k more than Goff.

Stafford looks like he just woke up

I was waiting for this segment.!!😂

that vendiagram line was CRAZY

Packer fans are just happy they have a QB they actually like as a human being.

Also recency matters. If Mahomes was up for a contract renewal there's no doubt he would get the highest paid money.

Richie Green Bay's Love is paid in full.✈️✈️✈️✈️

And as long as people keep paying tens of thousands of dollars for game tickets and excessive amounts of money for overpriced merchandise, ect ect. It will stay that way.

They get paid based on market salaries for a Pro NFL QB. Not on past resume, past winnings, past records set, which is not the case for regular, everyday employees.

And this list of Super Bowl winners loses meaning when you consider 15 of the last 44 QB's in Super Bowls were 2 guys. That's 1/3rd plus retired QB's are moved from the list. There are only 2 per year and Brady and Mahomes have most of recent ones too.

i used to like this show but starting to see more and more that Rich takes a 1 minute point and stretches it out to a 12 minute segment.

Tua had had 2 winning years and still improving

Well yeah, Super Bowl is the ultimate goal but these franchises are also selling tickets, merchandise, etc. They are selling the possibility of getting that championship. Right or wrong this is the buy in.

Patrick Mahomes answered in just 2 words.... I'm here, in the best Kermit the frog voice ever

Goff also. This puts pressure on them to advance further in the playoffs than they did last year.

Tua and Love share an agent. By the way, Love's new 4 year deal is more like a 5 year deal. He's still under contract from that 1-year contract he chose to sign last year, so it's more like a 5/$237M extension. Closer to $48M per year, but people will focus more on the 4-year. That being said, Love will prove the Packers right for giving him the extension. He's the guy. Also, revisionist history is going on here. The Packers also paid Aaron Rodgers after a single season, they took the risk because they saw something in Rodgers and chose to extend him. Packers are doing it again, taking the risk and they see something in Jordan Love. If there was one organization I would trust with QB evaluation, it's the Packers.
