Who's ready to become a Big Baller tonight?

You can come visit me in LA, weather is a little hot right now though so you might want to bring extra sun block.

So I'm in Nashville currently and all the Titans fans are like "we going to the super bowl" and I was like it takes time.

Mariota Vs Wentz in the Super Bowl. Yankee will be so conflicted.
Ginger Jesus takes home the W.
Sorry to hear that
My condolences.

Man Mariota is going to be so good. If only a team had been able to trade up for him.
I am not sure anyone is actually ready for the Ball era that is set to begin tonight. There are somethings in life you just can't prepare for, you can only hope to experience or be a part of them and then thank whatever power you believe in that you were able to be a part of history.
Just like that Mario trailer. No one was ready for that but we are all better people (with some exceptions made for the BGs of the world) for having experienced it.
Yeah. I would love if our franchise QB couldn't stay healthy for a whole season. The next Vick is all I dream of.

I know. Just messing with CDY. CDY a good person. *shakes hand*
They're probably still hyped about the Preds. I'd be happy if we just make the playoffs or if we beat the fucking Colts this year.

I will take the good player who has been hurt a few times over the bad player who might be more healthy.

What's this hear about a 125 million deal for Carr? That's a bit much, isn't it?

Like with any Carr the minute the Raiders sign the deal he'll be worth 80% of that.

Not really. 6 years of control for $126 mil. Going rate for franchise QB's these days.
If they traded up for him he wouldn't have a team around him. Imagine the 2015 Eagles OL protecting Mariota, and you've just traded away your best defensive player along with multiple future picks.
And he would have had to learn a whole new offensive system last year.
It will be overtaken by the next QB up for extension and the next QB after that.
Yea it's worth it. He is the franchise. The team is literally hot garbage without him.
$125 Mil is a deal for him on and off the field

Eh, fair enough I guess. Just seems like a lot, but I guess with QBs around the lead crippling their teams to get paid it makes sense.
Eh, 6 years at $125M is roughly $21M a year. With the cap currently at nearly $170M and only rising, a $21M a year QB only takes up around 13% of the cap. Seems fair for a franchise QB. QB salaries have been getting big, yes, but the salary cap has been getting bigger
Edit: Even 5 at 125 is still only 15% of the cap
sorry, friend

Middle of the summer?
Means it's time for some Cam Newton hot takes!
15-1 NFC Champion NFL MVP and you're the "best young leader in sports"
6-10 injury riddled underperformer and you're "not a leader and your teammates don't like you".
Sports media da best
Cam should have a ho-hum, good but unspectacular 11-5 season just so I can see if media folks can spin that to fit either narrative.

Keep your head up and stay safe out here.
Derek Carr is a paid man. His deal looks great right now with $40 million guaranteed at signing. Five years and 125 million is a great deal. It's not the Tom Brady value but maybe he'll grow into the deal with stellar pro bowl and super bowl performances.
No, I'm reporting you to HR for misconduct wearing inappropriate work clothing.

And spray paints his name on them lest we forget..
Cam could win 5 Super Bowls and the first thing that will pop is that his ass stole a laptop and spray painted it..

Steam sale time! What games can I add to my backlog that I won't play for months this time around?
I've been thinking of picking up Stardew Valley.

Instead of wasting my money on Steam sales I just waste my money on Manga now....at least I'll read them within a reasonable time period unlike my Steam backlog.
It's excellent. Looking forward to playing it again when it comes to Switch

I will take the better player and figure out the rest.
If Chip had gotten him I think things work out very differently, he lets Chip run way more of his offense and maybe that helps get Murray going and Chip is still here and howie is long gone and dougie never gets hired. Man what a wonderful dream that is.
That's how you become the Chargers/Saints
What games can I add to my backlog that I won't ever get around to playing this time around?

The Superbowl winning Saints? Sounds good to me.
The Super Bowl winning Saints from years ago that then spent the next decade on the outside looking in and have gone 7-9 the last three seasons while having one of the greatest QBs of all time. And the Eagles' roster post-Mariota trade would be modern Saints tier, not 2010 Saints tier

Good thing the Eagles kept this stacked roster together then, what was their record last year again?
