Jesus Christ dude.....WTF are you talking about? No, even if this is guaranteed, Cassel is not the 2nd highest paid QB in the league.

Please tell me how you figure a 6 year, $36 mill contract makes him the 2nd highest paid QB in the league.

That was pretty much reality, I don't think anyone in their right mind expected 36 mill in guarantees that's the absurd part.

You brought up what fans of other teams think as if anyone gives a shit. As if raider fans want us to pick so and so that must mean something. Peterson was obsessed with what fans thought. Its not relevant to who will or should be picked

We signed him to what a 5 year deal? he has 4 more years to get over it. You cant go worrying about where the guy wants to play 4 years down the line. Thats playing scared, you cant do that.

If it's 36 mill in guaranteed money the only QB with more is Stafford...did that go over your head?

If they acquire a high calibre wide receiver to pair with Bowe, it's actually an upgrade from Gonzalez, and if they field a third receiver of any quality, it's the strongest receiving corps they've had here in years. People seem to be thinking for some reason it's just dump gonzalez and go on with what we have, and we don't know that's the case...

The bigger issue is what they do with the offensive line.
That's why I said it kinda depends on what we do today. And the rest of the offseason. But don't be silly, Gonzalez is a safety net that few others can match. He's not a big play WR but he's probably the best "safety net" in the league for QB's to dump off to besides Fitzgerald. He single handedly made Tyler Thigpen last year. Now if we go out and get Boldin I revise my statement, haha. But if we just go out and pick up some 4th round WR that's a little different.

dude I called it the day Pioli was hired...all of the drafturbators yearning for CP to be gone would HATE Pioli because New England does things THEIR ****ING WAY! The "reaches" Mecca hates will happen every year...because New England drafts by their ****ing board...not Mecca Kiper's.

Until you find out what the guarantees are, it's hard to make a judgement. That could include a 15 million roster bonus in 2013 for all we know.

It's the timing and rumor of 36 guaranteed that gets people.

I don't think many people thought we'd turn around to trade Cassel.

I am not arguing that either of those guys have a track record.

I am saying that you can't call one season a track record.

My post had nothing to do with Stafford or Sanchez.

That really has nothing to do with the absurdity of giving Matt Cassel 36 mill in guaranteed money, that report better be wrong.

Hootie 04-25-2009 12:50 PM
it doesn't matter how much Cassel gets...if he pans out it's worth it...if he doesn't, it isn't. Plain and simple...who cares how much he makes? Obviously he's our QB so the drafturbators need to STFU and stop being dumbasses.

people are using any excuse before the new regime even plays a down so they can bitch all year long. happens every year

all it takes is one player being signed to assume the worst.

one player.

I don't think it'll be just a 4th round WR, but what the **** do I know....

It's going to be an interesting day I think.

I hope.

That's a pretty good deal if it's really 6/36.
