its time for us to have a conversation about whether Tannehill is an elite NFL quarterback

Not yet. Curious to see how he plays out the season. I'm expecting a game or 2 where he implodes

I'll take an occasional implosion over Cutler's consistently bad play sprinkled with the occasional amazing game.

Better question, would you rather have Tannehill or Cutler?

Other than having 3 more picks than Tannehill, Cutler is still statistically better in every category than Tannehill.

Essentially Cutler's worst season is still better than Tannehill's best.

But that's none of my business, I'm a Colts fan.

But in today's Chicago Sun Times, Cutler was quoted as saying (paraphrased from memory), "I need to play better, I need to step up!" Isn't that a sign of an elite quarterback?!?

2014 NFL Top Contract Value Salaries

Here is the list of overall outstanding contract values. Cutler tops the list, but mysteriously absent from the "these contracts hamstring teams" is #3 and #6 on that list. Yet Romo and Suh end up on there. This is why ESPN "analysts" are trash.

I'm no expert, but the ESPN thing wasn't just a list of biggest contracts, obviously. It was ones that actually hurt the team. Aaron Rodgers contract isn't hamstringing anyone, and Kaepernick's contract is surprisingly team friendly when you get in to the details. The ESPN article actually gives details about WHY the contracts are bad for the teams.

I get that it's easy(and fun!) to hate on ESPN, but if they just wanted to list the largest contracts on paper they could have.

I was reading the list. Then I got to Sam "Glass Man" Bradford. Now I'm posting this from my phone after I destroyed my monitor.

2015 NFL Top Cap Hit Salaries

Yeah, he tops the list in 2015, but $26.4 million doesn't handicap the Saints? Or $25 million doesn't handicap the Patriots? It's all sensationalistic bullshit.
