The point is: Brady was NEVER considered a "career backup".

you're blind

Speaking of blind, I guess you missed the numerous posts that show that he was only guaranteed $6M?

Teams heavily backload contracts knowing they are never going to pay that money - as a small percentage of the extension was guaranteed.

They could have signed him to a 40 year, $900B extension, and if they only guaranteed $6M, as they did in this instance, they could have cut him the next day and not owed him a dime over the $6M they guaranteed in the deal.

Then why don't YOU write a book that disputes it.

JFC.

Un****ingbelievable.

And his point remains valid.

It's already been covered.

Those two picks kind of skew those numbers.

And Cassel, playing behind two Heisman winning quarterbacks doesn't? Doesn't play in college because the guys in front of him are winning Heisman's and National Championships and falls to the 7th round. But Starr falling to the 17th round because he missed his senior season is okay?

At least to me, there seems to be some cynical double standards being applied around here.

They structured that contract to make it easy to get out of it.

Obvious to anyone who's not trying to cover their ass.

Just to clarify: Whitlock did NOT write the book in question.

Perhaps that has clouded the conversation.

**dirk digler** · 10-18-2009, 10:53 PM

Cassel's deal is similary structured and it is basically the franchise tag for 2 years.

He's guaranteed $28M.

Not $6M.

Hey, Lemon_Pie: remember yesterday when I said that you didn't post enough for me to know if you annoy me?

I've seen enough now.

you're implying that his deal had something to do with Brady... when it's more than likely just good negotiation on the pats part

Yea, Troy Aikman sucked his first season too. You can't judge rookies after 1 year just like you can't judge a QB whos traded to a new team with shitty talent.

I'm not sure how you can even compare the eras.

The things scouts are looking for and the attributes that define a "franchise QB" has changed quite a bit in 50+ years.

There weren't a lot of 6-4, 240 pound QB's back in the day.

The fact that Cassel hasn't yet played in the SB doesn't skew those numbers.
