Re: I'm expecting a QB who is among the 3 highest paid QBs
Goff got what he got because he got the going rate for a starting qb's 2nd contract in 2019.
It means nothing more than that. These things are slotted. They have nothing to do with how much the qb is presumably "worth" as a player.
Example: Wilson came up in 2015 and got 22 M, Carr came up in 2015 and got 25 M, Cousins was finally on the market in 2018 and got 28 M.
They just go up. That's all it means.
AND if you want to ignore all that and just demand your money's worth, the key is the offensive line.
If the OL can play Goff does well--we already know that.
He is one of the vast majority of NFL qbs who does not play well when the OL falls apart.
There is a TINY list of exceptions to that and even they tend to get trounced in the postseason.
