Let's not forget the real comparision here, Josh Allen. He got paid after year 3, he was bad first year, OK his second year and then blossomed in his 3rd year (with the addition of Diggs)

This is LIKELY the path Trevor takes with the addition of Ridley. 

In the scenario that he becomes that kind of QB through year 3, we can rest easy when he gets his big contract.


My argument is with those who are on this thread saying they'd feel comfortable giving him a Herbert contract RIGHT NOW (i'm not stupid, I know we can't technically give him one right now) but that dosen't detract from the argument. 

However, if he comes out this season with 2 years under his belt and his stats line up with the stats he had last year then no, he does not deserve to be the highest paid player in NFL history.

Does that make more sense?

I'd give him the Herbert deal today because I'm fully confident that he's going to continue his upwards trend and cement himself as a top QB in the league this year. Just like I was fully confident he was going to be just fine after the mess he had to deal with his rookie season.

That's great and all, but it's a gamble regardless. If (and im not saying he will) IF he turns out to just be an average QB, giving him that immense amount of money would hamper this franchise for years.

Remember when we all thought Nick foles getting 4yr/84m was insane? Herberts getting 4 years 262.5M. That's a big big investment and only a fool would throw that at someone who hasn't proven themselves yet.

This entire conversation started from somebody saying they are sold now and would give him Herbert money today, but as we've seen you clearly don't read the thread before spewing your ignorant opinions.

Again, not comparing him to Bortles but rather making a point on why you don't throw money at somebody because they played well for half a season. Bortles also didn't get paid like a top tier QB, but the point stands. You pay guys the big bucks once they've earned it. Trevor will have that chance to earn it this season and he very well may do that.


This entire conversation was based on somebody else saying they'd give him Herberts contract TODAY (Hypothetical or not) that would be a stupid move.

LOL.  You absolutely are comparing him to Bortles but are too stupid or stubborn to admit it.  But the way you continually change your tune that's no big shocker.

Are you actually this daft? I'm comparing situations, not the players. You don't give a record breaking contract to someone who has only been good for half a season. Same way we shouldn't have given Blake a lucrative extension based on him having a nice 4 game stretch towards the end of '17.
