Again, Kershaw got $30.7m/yr the same year Bailey got $17.5m/yr. That means Bailey got just 57% of the salary of elite pitchers of that time.

That would be like a QB getting a $31.3m/yr extension the same time as Joe Burrow getting $55m/yr and saying "they're the same situation!"

Homer took 6 years to be even decent, he didn't get paid at an elite level, he didn't get accolades, and his hype was largely regulated to just people trying to hype up some advanced metrics while being shit or mediocre at actual stats.

They aren't in the same situation at all.

You continue to use a “Strawman” argument to push the narrative away from my original post response to Pally which stated: “Starting to remind me of Homer Bailey. Great early success, signs huge contract and then gets a severe injury. Or, is he just an updated version of "Man of Glass" Eifert. Either way, Burrow's trajectory is starting worry me.”

Where did I try to compare the talents/achievements of the two athletes. I only trotted out the Bailey playing history (my naive mistake) when you decided to focus on a performance detour. My original post was intended to focus on the similar situations, or as bgfine aptly noted, “highly drafted prospect, performed well, got lucrative contract, got hurt.”

And will stand by my opinion that Bleacher Report is more credible than you.
