Why Russell Wilson's Contract was a Mistake...

The NFL has a problem. How much should a team actually pay its quarterback? More specifically, is paying a quarterback tons of money actually worth it.. or not?
Russell Wilson is (or was) one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but he’s also one of the most expensive. And his play on the field, so far in Denver has been... disappointing, to say the least. Wilson signed a four-year contract extension with the Broncos worth $165 million in new money, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. At the time the Broncos, with a top defense thought the only piece that was missing was that Elite QB. However, since becoming a Bronco, Wilson has also thrown more interceptions than touchdowns, taken more sacks than any other quarterback, and fumbled more times than any other player and plenty other bad decisions on and off the field.
So, was the price tag worth it? And to step back and look at the bigger picture, or problem. How are teams able to pay quarterbacks such historical amounts of money and how does that affect the rest of the organization? And what are the pros and cons of investing so much in one player?

I think paying a QB a lot of money is a lot like buying a house. It costs almost everything and can be either the best decision you’ve ever made or one you will regret for a long time. It takes a keen eye to inspect a house for foundation, plumbing, and electrical issues, just like how it is to find attitude, leadership, and athletic issues with a QB. Moral is don’t buy a house whose foundation is crumbling and don’t be like the Browns and bring out the pocket book for a QB who can’t control his urges and literally didn’t play football for a year while physically healthy.

huh?? buying a house is usually a safe sustainable bet bro, and u usually pay the market price for them so u get what its worth usually. Paying a qb a lot of money is almost always suppper risky as seen from teams going all out on qb then the other positions become shit. There are only like 2 or 3 quarterbacks rn worth what they are being paid like mahomes, allen. Paying a qb is more like betting your life savings on a volatile stock imo

@@raymondqiu8202Maybe in the 80s and 90s, but buying a house can often be a rude awakening, as people don't plan for, or are wringing out their dollars for repairs, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, pest control, and all of the other peripheral circumstances that come with homeownership. The same for cars and QBs. You want one that will last for a long time, won't habitually run down, and will get you where you want to go. We've seen a lot of teams bet the farm on Fords in a Rolls-Royce wrap over the years, lol. However, we've also seen high end QBs driven like demolition derby stock cars; just like people who buy/build luxury homes in flood plains & coastal areas. The analogy works.

@@raymondqiu8202 It's "safe" because there are professional home inspectors that home-buyers hire that should notice any internal damage to the structure of the house. Just like hiring a bad GM though, there are bad home inspectors that don't notice that termites have eaten the entire foundation of the house. There have been instances where an inspector doesn't do their job, the buyer pays full price of the property, and then the house gets condemned. Your $400,000 property investment then drops to the price of the land-only which is $50,000, and the new owner has to pay a $60,000 demolition fee of the house.

Dude, I'm from a country where we have zero clue about the NFL so this channel is really informative to understand some of these basics. The quality of these videos deserves way more views. As a newcomer, can you explain how the Jets could afford Aaron Rodgers and if it came at the expense of other positons they're very weak in. Also, how much do teams invest in their second string QB given - how do they balance having good backup in case of injuries while leaving enough for 50 other squad places

@AnotherSportsChannel 6 ай бұрын

Appreciate that! Short answer, alot of shuffling numbers and Rodgers ultimately took a pay cut. But I can definitely elaborate more on a video about contracts in general

Another great video! As a Chiefs fan who experienced the "journeyman" years, the achievements and growth of the franchise with Mahomes have absolutely been worth it. Alex Smith is a great example of a cheaper veteran working out, but even he was never able to get those mid-10s teams to an elite level of on-the-field success. After Trent Green left, the Chiefs had talent on both sides of the ball but hardly won for years because Cassel and the plug-and-play QBs couldn't get it done. As a GM, getting "the guy" is crucial. Paying an elite, young, and marketable guy-like Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson, or Mahomes-can set a franchise on track and, I imagine, will continue to be the desire of GMs. Going after the highly paid vets seems like such a "win now" move, which is what confused me about the Broncos desire to land Russ. Like, for the Browns, who look to have an elite defense, paying Watson could totally work out-if he delivers in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how different teams approach skill positions too. I know the Chiefs have been relying a lot on rookie deals and drafting specific pieces. I'm curious how emerging teams like the Texans (if Stroud turns out to be their guy) will build a competitive roster in the seasons to come. There's so much unreal QB talent in the league these days, it is remarkable.

Couldn't agree more with your assessment! I remember those Alex Smith days!

Maybe Russ was never truly elite, Broncos overpaid for him. He was good and had success with the Seahawks but had the support of a running game & great defense!

If you didn’t know his contract was a mistake the SECOND it was signed and needed this video to tell you at the end of his second season. You probably haven’t watched him his last 2 years in Seattle. They were so reluctant to ship him off for as much as they got for him.

Why was it so hard to see how long it takes Russell Wilson to release the ball. Also he has a noodle for an arm. The GM should never work again. I can't believe the GM is still there.
