Toast is a moron, it's a good deal.

Well that good deal became an absolute steal today.  Good God, have you guys actually seen Brock Osweilers new deal?  4 years 72 million dollars!!!!  72 million dollars.  18 mil per!!!  For Brock ***** Osweiler!!!!

What the hell is going on in this league?  I mean, Aaron Rodgers now has to worth a minimum of 45 mil per, right. (Kidding, but I'm not sure 30 is out of line)  

Thank God, we got Andy locked up we did.  I can't imagine looking at this turd factory of a market that is being created for QB's and paying one of the knob gobblers 15 mil plus.  Personally, I'd keep all that money and just pay out to the OL and running game, and that see if you can get a vet for 5 mil and pair with a rookie.  Screw this approach.

You are right, it did turn out to be a steal.

I am going off my memory (old guy so not as good as the early years), but I don't recall you trashing the AD contract. I thought you said it could end up being a fair deal. Some of us thought it was a steal at the time, but don't recall you being adamant is was a bad deal.
