 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? Let me take a seat, man. Let me take a seat I wish I could feel like staffing and get the highest deal in history Anyway, YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video We are here to talk about mr. Matthew Stafford who there had been talks about this coming up for a long time now But now it's finally actually here. It's done deal. It's a wrap. It's completed And Matthew Stafford is the NFL's highest paid player richest deal in history and That's that and shout out to any Lions fans out there. I know we haven't been talking about Lions much this offseason, but I Mean here it is now here. We are so shout out to Matthew Stafford. He's he's getting paid He's getting paid now really quick before we get into this and it's not gonna be very long It's gonna be a quick video. Let me introduce myself me. I'm engraving vids. This is my YouTube channel engraving vids And I'm a Ravens fan, but I just love football. You know, we fans of football over here So we talk about each and every single NFL team that there is Everybody we talk about every single body So Matthew Stafford congratulations Detroit Lions fans congratulations. Do y'all feel good about this? Do you all feel good about this? I think you should Matthew Stafford? I think I Think Matthew Stafford skill gets overlooked because The team loses a lot of games Detroit's not really known for defense there. They're their teams don't have great defenses So Matthew Staten and enough times to They would be behind in a lot of games so his numbers were sort of inflated from time to time But Matthew Stafford is solid. He's a solid guy, man. He's a solid guy. I Won't really quick if you knew here make sure you subscribe and if you old here Make sure you subscribe to and leave a like on a video as well man, but ooh, excuse me, but um Matthew Stafford I know of course people are gonna say he got overpaid for of course people are gonna say that It's always gonna be somebody that says that about every single quarterback But and then they're always gonna come compare it to To Tom Brady because they're gonna say oh Tom Brady took took less Well Tom Brady he took less on the salary cap, but he got a lot of bonuses to that really made up for it But anyway, it's not about him. This is about Matthew Stafford with your quarterback You have to take care your quarterback you have to take care of him And I think this was the trend that Joe Flacco started When he Before Ravens won a Super Bowl that the year in the beginning of the year they offered him a contract They offered him in his agent of contract with his agent Joe Lennon said no Flacco said no, we're gonna take the risk and we're gonna play this thing out We're gonna play this thing out. So what did he do? He played this thing out and won a Super Bowl So now they had to pay him even more money. They had to pay him even more money No, Kirk Cousins did not start the trend. That's who was the first QB getting a hundred twenty mil Let's think about that. It wasn't Kirk Cousins Kirk cousin there wasn't Kirk Cousins It was Flacco Flacco started this And then from there you had to go After Flacco got his deal after he won a Super Bowl you had to For any team after that if you were gonna pay your QB money, you had to compare it to that contract You had to it was as simple as that you had to you you absolutely had no choice Because that became the Ravens and and it's hurt them a little bit in different ways too because Flacco hasn't lived up to it but From that point on The Ravens set the bar and it wasn't always necessarily a positive thing But the Ravens set the bar for the going rate for QBs for how much you were gonna pay you gonna have to pay your QB So I know Flacco did get a big deal to trade bolden, but Kirk Cousins has a big impact to on it No, this has nothing to do with Kirk Cousins at all This has absolutely zero to do with Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins was franchise tag once or twice This has zero to do with Kirk Cousins But flat Flacco got a contract Kirk Cousins didn't get a contract. He got he got tagged Getting tagged and getting the contract is two completely different things But anyway, like I was saying Kirk cuz I mean man You got me saying the wrong thing now Flacco started the trend or the Ravens started the trend when they paid Flacco all that money So now any quarterback who's getting a big deal? It has to be on part it or it had to be on part with that contract It had to be you had to be paying your QB depending on what he's done for you. You had to be Paying your QB over a hundred mil. You had to pay him at least like 20 million dollars a year You had to do that because the bar was set the going rate was set and the market went from here to all the way up there So a lot of QBs who had never even won a Super Bowl A lot of cute some QBs who never even want to play off like look at their car Look at their car Not saying he's a bad quarterback cuz I like their car, but he he ain't even win a playoff game yet And then granted he was injured last year So that took away from that playoff game because that was looking to be a good one But when he got hurt it was like oh man The greatest are gonna lose and then the Texans are gonna get destroyed when they play the paint It's just it just made it so born. It made that was one of the most born playoff games in history Even as Texans fans I know that it's like they couldn't even get hype for that win because they knew it was against a team that was Not good. They didn't have the top guy. Oh, it's a five year three four It's a five year a hundred thirty five million dollar contract. So he becomes the highest paid player in the league More than you Joe Fleco More than you King Ravenville, you got me here because Ravens won Super Bowl verse 49ers. I won't argue it I won't argue with you. I get what you're saying. I Know Yes Okay, cool. But anyway. Yeah, so Matt Stafford got his money. He got his money. He's somebody that can make a lot of plays though I feel like Matt Stafford is He's nice. He ain't the greatest in the world, but he's not the best He's something he's something that he's somebody you can win with a hundred thirty five million dollars and Has he even won a playoff game before? I don't think so I Know I feel like he's been to the playoffs maybe once y'all let me know if I'm wrong I feel like he's been there one time and they lost I believe I Don't think he's won any playoff games though. I really don't so It's oh, he's been to the playoffs twice really they wouldn't play off last year. No Now Ethan saying three if we just keep going up by the numbers but we keep going up by numbers But Matt Stafford he Is hard man. The QB market is very hard right now because 2011 2014 and 2016. Okay. Appreciate that Ethan. Thank you. Thank you So he lost all three then right they lost all three Because I don't remember him winning anything in the playoffs like at all, of course He ain't been to a Super Bowl anything, but it's like that's when it that's when the argument comes into play like yes That is your quarterback. That's your guy. You want to take care of him or whatnot, but then it's like, oh What has he done? Has he elevated his play in the regular season? Has he elevated his play in the playoffs? It's five years or hundred thirty five million whipped cream It's like what has he really done something to deserve this the guaranteed? I gotta look at the guaranteed I gotta look at the guaranteed so It's kind of confusing. It's like it's something that you just There that it's for it's forever. It's always gonna be a debate on this It's always gonna be a debate on this especially when it's quarterbacks that haven't Taken their team to the playoffs or they haven't won in the playoffs and now I understand it's not completely all on the quarterback There are pieces around the quarterback to make a huge difference. Oh, yeah, you know, Roger's here W Lake said he said Roger's got to be sitting back smiling. You know what man? You know if Matt staffer got paid a hundred thirty five million dollars That's a lot of money. That's crazy money If he got paid that much, you know, and Rogers has passed that That is in line for a big QB deal to what are you talking about? This is his second year, man He's still got his rookie contract to play out. He can't do a new deal until it's like only two years left on his rookie deal so Yeah, he he got a little while to go when these are starting to look like NBA salaries Yeah, and because every year the NFL salary cap goes up every single year It's a five-year hundred thirty five million dollar deal Malachi Every year these things go up. They go up. They go up. They go up and they're gonna keep going up We're gonna see what happens in 2021 with the lockout though with the lockout though That's gonna be something he said no hard again pay 50 mil 50 million. Yeah Yeah, that's what's harder than 220 million or 200 million. I forgot what it was Engraven what I'm saying is if he plays well cowboys will have to pay him huge money and be highest pay player Yeah, eventually because that's Yeah, that's that's that's how it goes and usually the usually the QB salary just they just one up each other every time and it's it's it's not even It's not even about success anymore really It's just about what the what the rate is for a quarterback. That's all it is Jimmy Smith, I believe he's okay. I think they said he was at practice today. I believe I got a double check though I don't think I think he's all right. The NBA roleplayers are making more than NFL superstars Sometimes they do NBA players make a lot of money baseball is really where it's at though. Kirk Cousins gonna get car salary. I Don't know if Matt Stafford Got 135 mil I don't know Kirk Cousins. He'd be here. He'll probably he might be in between them to or if Redskins really feel like You know what? This is our dude and we gonna take care of this guy. I don't know if he goes out and kills it this year Here might pass Matt Stafford, but we'll see man running backs are gonna going up to any meal even running backs been going down a lot Man, they've been going down a lot over the past like two years the running back market has changed like drastically They don't they don't make big bucks like they used to anymore. They really don't Abel said wonder who's gonna overpay for cousins. What's up, Ben? What's going on Isaiah appreciate y'all coming through man, but let's see man We'll see let me on about the change the whole running back market. Yeah, that that's gonna be tricky because who's gonna follow after him Who's gonna follow after Levy on bill if still let's pay him huge crazy money. Who's gonna follow after that? Because I mean the Vonte Freeman he got his big paycheck What was it 45 or 54 million? I forgot what it was. I think it's 45 point five million or something Like that. I gotta look at the video again because we did the video on it. Ah David Johnson. Thank you. See I appreciate you That's why I love y'all man. That's why I love y'all cuz y'all come through and y'all will let me know. What's up, Brad? Appreciate appreciate that man Appreciate it. Yeah, David Johnson How about them cowboy says Zeke after him if he does great you got to stop getting suspended man Yeah, ZQ ZQ sit up. He probably end up getting there, too Where would you rank Stafford in your top QB's I Wouldn't put him with the top QB's I put him with the the middle of the pack guys It's hard to really gauge my staffer because What's up DJ? It's hard to really gauge my staffer because I mean he did have the best receiving a league for a long time But they still didn't win anything Um It's hard to gauge him just because they haven't done anything and like I said before I know that it takes more than just a quarterback But man, I know he's nice. He and he's a he's a nice scramble. He got a huge big arm Which are always favor No, man He always rely on Calvin Johnson too much Justin Tucker didn't crack the top 100 players I don't look at those list those lists are stupid. He's top six So you put him up there with Brady and Rogers Rathlis Berger Phillip Rivers is pretty good Who else who else I Hate doing these lists cuz I was that when I when I try to do these lists That's when I always forget about all the quarterbacks in the league. I always forget about it He said if step it is a top six then flak always. Yeah. Oh Matt Ryan See Matt Matt Ryan and I can't hold it against him because You need to thrive if you're if you're in a good situation, you need to thrive. Oh, please. Thank you Drew see this is why I hate doing these lists, especially on the spot but With Matt Ryan and like I said, I don't hold it against him because if you If if if you're in that position and you should thrive, but I feel like I don't know I don't know how Matt Ryan would be if he didn't have all those good receivers Cuz from as soon as he came in a league, who did he have Julio Jones and Roddy White? He had that one-two punch for the longest and then last year you had Julio Jones still he asked Muhammad Sunoo Taylor Gabriel he had a squad man. He always got a lot of people a lot of good receivers around him But I don't I don't know man Mallet is better than Roger's combined. Y'all are crazy. Big Ben is not thinking about retiring I'm so tired of him about Big Ben. He said he says the same thing literally every single year He says it every year. It's old. It's old This is very old He's a beast quarterback beast quarterback one of the best in the league But he said he talks about that retiring thing every single year Oh, Russell Wilson is nice too Blake Bortles. He's I thought Blake Bortles gonna be a lot better, man I thought he's gonna be a lot better. I Thought he's gonna be a whole lot better, but he hasn't been but anyway I'm gonna go ahead and get off and hit now We may stream one last video because I want to talk about one more thing one more thing So we may stream again in a couple minutes So stay tuned turn your notifications on and and join us again if we talk about it But if we don't I see you all tomorrow Unless something happened later tonight, but for now, I'll see you all tomorrow unless we stream again later on But I do feel like I want to talk about one more thing.
