Mahomes deal looks great. He will make 31m this year. Danny Dimes at minimum 40m....

Another interesting aspect of the Burrow deal is that IF he goes full Watson and demands a huge fully-guaranteed contract he could still win the SB and be the MVP and all that jazz and it would "justify" the insane prices QBs now demand.

I know we have it good, but I'm not sure we know how good we have it.  Burrow is a slam-dunk franchise savior and we lucked into getting him for a single draft pick.  Other teams are picking busts at #1, trading a buttload of picks to trade up to get busts and/or get veteran QBs that may not work out, and are giving middling QBs team-killing deals because they can't just grab the next Trent Dilfer off the scrap heap and build a perfect 52 man roster around him.

We can safely say  the Giants will never vie for a SB with Daniel Jones on that contract, that's fair.  But as a fan with a limited time on this earth I can admit that I watched 9 years of Andy "never going to win it all" Dalton, and if you think Palmer didn't have what it takes to win it all either, that makes 27 years of "Well, the Bengals will never win with THAT QB" football that we watched.

We managed to go 0-7 in one-score games in 2019.  We came amazingly close to missing out on Burrow and what should be an ability to avoid this QB insanity for a long-ass time.

There but for the grace of the football gods, go us.
