Even with your “projections” of the average starting QB salary being 30-35 million I STILL would not call 22 million a steal. A steal was getting Winston for 5.5 million to be the starter this year when that salary puts him as the 33rd highest paid QB. Paying a guy to be in the 20th or so slot isn’t a steal unless that guy plays like Kurt Warner. If Hill is a starting QB four years from now and 22 million makes Hill the 33rd or lower paid QB, then I’ll concede the deal was indeed a steal.

But this is just my opinion. If you think the contract is a steal at this amount for a QB going forward then Ok. Time will tell.

DING! DING! DING! Maybe it is finally sinking in, Boston. The contract is written as a series of "what if's". That's the whole point. It isn't a $23.75 million per annum contract unless those "what if's" are met. With no "what if's" accomplished the contract sits at $10 million per year.

And, yes, time will tell. I basically said that as well. No where did I say the contract WAS a steal. I said under certain circumstances it COULD be a steal. And I am perfectly self aware.

Give it a try.
