The Vent King Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Saw an article on the 4 letter network's website asking this question so I figure let's see what the fans say. They wanted to know if "Big Bank" Blank should go ahead and lock up the Iceman and make him the highest paid player in the NFL. I say go ahead and do it. The market sets the price and we can't afford a do-over with another QB right now anyway. Window is too small. We let him walk and then what? McCown, draft a new one, what? IMHO the Iceman has put up great numbers, been a positive face for the franchise, a non-headache off the field and super clutch at the end of games. I know, he (or is it "the TEAM"?) hasn't won a playoff game yet, but what else are you going to do? Those playoff losses aren't all on him, he doesn't play D and besides we are more than good on the offensive side with him so what do you think?Thoughts?

The Vent King Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Gheesh, not a topic watcher...can't keep up with EVERY one that's made. Didn't know there was one on this.

Finally Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Unfortunately we have already debated this because, you see, the article is a couple of days old. When that happens you can expect that at least one thread has already been created. You have maybe a 3 hour window on new articles, tops.The good news is the vick trolls will love this thread and it will take off anyway.

Guest Negatorris Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's just that these threads attract trolls more than ever. It will probably get to 10 pages before tonight filled with arguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Didn't see it b4 today and didn't check the date...goodness, you guys have too many rules. It is not a rule, it is just how things work around here. If the article is obscure enough you might have a few hours. From ESPN,, AJC, Profootball, or the NFL the clock runs down really fast. It is practically a competition around here to find anything remotely relating to the Falcons. I don't participate because, well, I have better things to do with my time.

Just thought it was interesting topic, but I do know what a mess asking a question like that can start on the msgb. Too bad they don't allow us to erase threads once something like that is realized.

With a game tomorrow it will get buried pretty fast and there is not much traffic tonight.Now that they have been encouraged to do more it makes me not even want to start a thread praising Ryan or this organization. Thanks AFMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to know if "Big Bank" Blank should go ahead and lock up the Iceman and make him the highest paid player in the NFL. I say go ahead and do it. The market sets the price and we can't afford a do-over with another QB right now anyway. Window is too small. We let him walk and then what? McCown, draft a new one, what? IMHO the Iceman has put up great numbers, been a positive face for the franchise, a non-headache off the field and super clutch at the end of games. I know, he (or is it "the TEAM"?) hasn't won a playoff game yet, but what else are you going to do? Those playoff losses aren't all on him, he doesn't play D and besides we are more than good on the offensive side with him so what do you think?Thoughts?His price tag goes up once he wins a few playoff games; however, he should not be the highest paid player in the league. 6 years at 16.5 million per.

DD: Objective Elite Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If you draft your franchise QB, you eventually have to pay the guy. I would hope Ryan doesn't try and handicap the team. Something like 8 years $100M with $65M guaranteed would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He is already on a 70+ mil contract so, why not. Give him 90 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
