[QUOTE="paulska, post: 495938, member: 557"] Since we're talking Favre, perhaps this is fortuitous. There may not be a better comparable for the contract we're trying to nail down with ARod. There were other elite talents in the NFL at QB at the time Brett got his megadeal, but Brett had an extended run of dominant play and 3 MVP trophies either in hand or on the way. ARod is arguably, based on his play the last three seasons, the single best QB in all of football, bar none. He has a lot of football left ahead of him, like Favre did when he got his megadeal. Did Favre's deal hamstring us cap wise? Not to the degree that $25 mil per year will relative to our cap for the duration of the contract, but it still represented the single biggest chunk of our salary cap for a very long time. It meant Favre was the foundation and soul of the team. You say, Favre never did squat payoff wise after we lost to Denver in the SB. True, but his play after than reminds me a lot of Tom Brady since NE's last SB win- he may not have played to former glorious levels in the post-season, but his regular season play and cachet were the reason a lot of guys wanted to stay with the team rather than leave, and reason why we made the postseason consistently to even have a chance at winning another championship. We were spoiled by ARod's SB run and subsequent MVP season- we may NEVER again in the NFL see a player be that dominant at QB- he was that good. Is he that good now? No, but he's close, and consistently so, and that one fact means the single biggest factor in winning football games is moot for us, and you can attach a price tag to that. It's the cost of being a team with a legitimate chance on a regular basis or not- ask any woe-ridden Browns fan. Any Chargers fan. Any Raiders fan. Any Jets fan. You pay ARod his record breaking sum, like Brett's deal set the new standard. Other QB's will come along and exceed his contract's annual value- Cam Newton likely will. RGIII and Andrew Luck will. But ARod will have set the bar for them, and still be in the top 10 or so paid players, period, and be the factor that magnetically attracts players to stay in GB to win. You can't put a price on that- look at how Brady has transformed NE from an NFL backwater to a destination franchise. ARod's next deal puts us in that frame. The trick will be to see TT manage that window better than Belicheat once it's signed. Based on draft record? I like our chances... [/QUOTE]
