Yah, that contract was loony tunes. But there's a lot of QBs getting paid $40 million AAV that don't deserve it. And Baker is better than more than a few of them. Derek Carr is getting $37 million/yr, and Baker outplayed him last year. Dak is getting $40 mill Deshaun Watson is getting $46 mill/yr, and Baker has been outplaying him for a while now. Kyler is getting $46 million/yr, and Baker has always been a better QB than Kyler. Russell Wilson. And Tua is supposedly going to get $50 million/yr, and Baker is a far better QB. |

Baker's worth the contract. Some guy on ESPN a week or so ago said that Geno's 3yr/$75 million contract would be worth more like $34 million/yr in today's dollars, so this contract is just in line with NFL inflation or whatever. Never mind that Baker is better than Geno.

Good for him.
He has seemed less douchey as of late. Glad I’m not a Bucs fan though. |

Baker has more playoff wins than Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins, Trevor Lawrence, Dainiel Jones, and Geno Smith. He is tied with Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and Lamar Jackson. I think he is better then average and that’s the cost for better then average. He might even be a top 10 QB after this year. Playing hurt in Cleveland really changed his trajectory.

Baker is, arguably, a top-12 QB in the league. Certainly top-15. His contract AAV ranks 15th before Cousins signs and whatever you want to do with the Russell Wilson shit. I'd say it's pretty much on the money.

Baker deserves a shitload of credit for getting back on the horse and battling himself back to relevance after the Browns did him dirty. He is, at worst, an average NFL quarterback and this is what they cost. And unlike most average NFL quarterbacks, there miiiiiiight be a little more upside there into being actually good. |

These billionaire owners aren't going to pay this type of money to anyone if they don't think they are worth it. Mayfield is capable of doing enough for Bucs owner to get a return on his investment and keep Bucs competitive until they find their guy. We are spoiled here in KC w Mahomes but lets not forget before he came here how hard it was for KC to find an elite QB. It's simply a very difficult position to play which is why even mediocre QBs get paid the way they do. |
