This is not at all an albatross contract.

I think the contract is fine. Trevor deserved it. I just don't think Trevor is an elite QB at this point. I think Herbert is trending more in that direction.

I agree.   Trevor isn't elite yet.  He wasn't paid because he's elite right now.   He was paid because this owner, gm and coach think that he has the potential to beat anyone else playing QB in this league...including Mahomes.

Here's a list of the top QBs Trevor HAS beaten...with arguably a worse team.

Josh Allen
Lamar Jackson
Justin Herbert (twice)
Dak Prescott

..and he SHOULD have beaten Burrow in 21.

I don't think anyone that post on this forum thinks that Trevor is great yet.   And he may never be great.

But we know that with a poorer team than those other QBs he's been able to beat them for a day.  I'm not even going to throw in CJ because he's so young.
