Fun poll taken by NFL players

90% of the players don't understand his contract.

Big signing bonus. Spread over 5 years really not 3. And base salary for 3 year extension but some of the base is before the extension in 2013 and 2014. The last 2 years of extension are fluff and can be re-done easily.

they don't have to understand the contract. It is about how he is looked at by his fellow professional players. They think he is overrated.

They are doing the rating based on the contract in this pole. And they are too dumb too understand the contract. Therfore, their rating system is flawed.
 
And the other players don't know everything Stafford has done. They don't know his turnover support, his weapon injuries and his run game. Stafford carries this team. Worth every penny and he's on a very good deal.
 
Your opinion is fine......but it means NOTHING to my question. Where in the "fun" pole did it say "players say he basically sucks".

It was a question about being overpaid......not who is the worst.

Deal with it.

It was about being one of the worst making 15m. At least as far as the few players who voted. In any event no one wants their QB to be ranked on that list..even if it just a "fun" pole.

You think the players just picked a name out of a hat..
 
Everyone has a right to their opinion. I happen to trust the the opinions of NFL players more than those of a biased Detroit Lion homer.

But you do? The players who play against him, and seeing Calvin - the best weapon in the NFL and still think he's overrated. He's overrated..

I do. Because I understand his contract. And I see his produciton. And I know what all he had to do deal with. ESPN should pole me. And me alone.

When you say ESPN should "pole you" do you mean stick a pole up your ass?

Nope. They had 9 to choose from......really, in the not deserving catagory.....they had 6 (nobody was going to vote for Manning, Rodgers or Brees)

Stafford isn't deserving of his contract. Doesn't mean he isn't good. Any top 5 pick in the old rookie scale system was massively overpaid. Basically, the old rookie scale was the equivalent of graduating engineering school and becoming the highest paid engineer on the planet, before your first day of work!

Nowhere did it say "players basically say he sucks". Nowhere did I say my opinion was more valid than yours. But you spewed both of those as facts and tried to run with it when neither was even mentioned.

Trollers troll......you and Hughes prove that daily.

Do you even know what a troll is? You use the word like you do..

In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response ...

Stay on topic!

I'm upsetting you and starting an argument? If that's what I'm doing we're all trolls..

Where did I say that?

If you're referring to my definition, that was a copy and past definition.....not a personal statement.
