...I think I read somewhere that Dalton is the 20th highest paid QB for 2015. I think we're getting our money's worth.
Yup. I was all in favor of waiting to sign Dalton, but when I saw the numbers I was very happy with it. People that hated the contract just weren't understanding the current QB market.
20 million is the going rate for "average" (competant) QB's these days. Fortunately for us, we got Dalton on an "average" contract when it looks like he's much more than that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
