If we didn't sign Moncrief and Hayden we could have frontloaded Blake's deal instead of making his salary a measly 10 mil this year. If we had done that and structured it like 30/11/13 instead of 10/21/23 then an 18 mil difference between Blake and Cousins would be a legitimate debate to have. As is, Cousins + 8M looks like a screaming deal compared to Bortles going forward.

Fully guaranteed yo.... fully guaranteed.
Also Cousins has fewer wins than Blake (on more attempts)

This isn't a "Blake is our QB!" thing...
just that you can't look at the one year and be like "Oh Cousins at 8 mil more would have been a deal)
cuz it isn't 8 mil.
Bortles 26.5 mil guaranteed (with 20 mil being paid this year, so we could cut him next year with just 6.5 dead money)
Cousins is 84 mil guaranteed.

It's 16.5 to cut Blake next year, we aren't doing that obviously. So it's essentially 2 guaranteed years for Blake vs 3 guaranteed years for Cousins. Why are y'all so caught up in fully guaranteed when it's just 3 years. Might as well start being like "omg we gave Moncrief a fully guaranteed deal".

Also, I wasn't being a douche. I was using his words, because he has a habit of trying to go ad hominem on people when his point doesn't have merit. Obviously it was effective since you let him slide and tried calling out the guy pointing it out.
