    But that's exactly the point. Garroppolo and his huge cap hits will have to be able to cover up other roster deficiencies that they can't afford to make a strength.

    The amount of money they get paid is a direct correlation to that. But I guess it doesn't really matter this day in the NFL. If you want to keep the quarterback you drafted you are going to have to pay him ridiculous money and see if they can cover up the holes. That's why it usually makes sense to front load it depending on what the state of your roster and free agents are.

    We're kind of saying the same thing though

    Garoppolo makes 24M a year, and the projected 2020 cap is a little under 200M. If they went with a cheaper QB instead (maybe grabbing a Mariota or Dalton), they'd have about an extra 10M to spend on other players. But there's virtually nothing they can get with that extra 10M that would be worth more than Garoppolo is (unless they want to start over and throw the dice that they can lend an elite QB in the draft). The much more significant cap trouble they'll face is when several of their defensive studs want 10M+ per year contracts. Getting rid of Garoppolo could let them retain one more defensive stud, but one more defensive stud isn't going to do that much for them.

    In all honesty, I tend not to really believe in Garroppolo which might be why I'm harping on the example. He threw 11 touchdowns against the Cardinals (2x) and Bengals.

    He was a non factor and a game manager in all of their blowouts minus the wild game in New Orleans. To me he looks scared in the pocket and throws a lot of could be interceptions in tight windows in crunch time when the games are close.

    He won't put a team on his back in crunch time IMO and is helped out by his YAC receivers in Kittle and Samuel. His numbers are extremely inflated because of it.

    I was only talking about the dollar value of QB contracts, not how good Garoppolo is. I agree that he isn't elite, though he is good enough to give them a shot at winning the SB.

    Teams are really held by the balls of the quarterback position as a whole, honestly. You have to pay quarterbacks 10-18 in the league regardless if you believe in them or not. Because the alternative is to shuffle through the bullshit like Denver has been doing the past 3-4 years and you still end up paying those scrubs regardless.

    Dak is an extremely interesting case though. They really should just franchise him and live to fight another day with him. He's a good soldier that won't fight it. It worked out well for Cousins.

    But these two and three year deals for guys like Cousins, Dak, etc might start to be the norm.

    Its going to be interesting who the Giants hire, because the division now has Two Super Bowl winning head coaches, a coach that took his team to the Super Bowl and lost, and then whoever the Giants hire.

    2 of them are bound to fail, if not 3 of them.

    Such an overrated coach. McCarthy is average at best. FFS, he had Rodgers and was still a mediocre coach with him.

    Low hanging fruit for the Cowboys too. Easy hire to not be criticized about. Jerry cares about that stuff.

    Does Mike Nolan run a 3-4 defense? If so, that's a horrible fit for that personnel.

    So quick? He and his staff have been analyzing Prescott the entire season. He seems perfectly content to let Jones do most of the talking. Read the article linked on here somewhere about how he has spent the past six months or so.

    From Jerry Jones' perspective, it's a perfect fit. In Green Bay, McCarthy had no control over personnel. He just coached the roster the GM gave him. He isn't a publicity hound. In Dallas, Jerry is the big cheese. He's the GM and an over-the-top media whore. He needs a coach who will stay in his own lane, and McCarthy will do that. We'll see how it works.
