I understand it quite well, but it's only so because idiot owners are overpaying and getting very little in return to show for it. How much are the Dolphins getting for the return on Tannehill? Osweiler? Flaaco? Cutler? Alex Smith? I can go down the list of QBs vastly overpaid and their teams aren't getting their money's worth, and their teams aren't even winning due to QB play.

As others have said the going rate for average QB's like Osweiler is around 17 or 18 million. Are they overpaid? No, because that's what the market determined that they were worth. They may be in your eyes, and several others, but it's the market that determines their worth. Of the QB's that you list there aren't any better options out there, that's why they got their money.

Also KC is probably better than the QB's you have listed, outside of Flacco.

KC has earned the long term deal I think. He's proven to be a middle range starter, maybe slightly above that so he should be paid as such. We don't have any better options at this point. We aren't going anywhere with Colt McCoy under center.

I would argue that Kirk is playing better then every QB on that list since he became the starter.

None of them have 2 4th Quarter comebacks this year. Kirk has 2, should of been 3 if we held on yesterday.
