Reckon there's a contract by the weekend
Not like green bay aren't gonna extend him

I know
But 8 decent games and he’s already at it
Let the buyer beware is all I can say.

Exactly. A dangerous game to be playing. I mean they had written him off completely around week 4.
Well at least the Packers can absorb a dud a bit better than other teams. They're young and cheap and a well run organisation for the most part. But Love holds all the cards really, he knows they have the money and its a sparse QB market, so I reckon he's asking for a fair wedge
It's only going to cost even more next year so that's why it will happen very soon
Apparently going to be the highest paid QB in the league. The Quarterback market is utterly mad

It’s such a tough situation because on one hand you have someone like Tua who is a thoroughly limited player and on the other if you let him go you can end up starting Josh Dobbs. I don’t even know where you draw the line and I don’t really envy the guys who have to. At some point someone is going to say “nah we’re good” and not pay an ok guy 50m a year though.

Who is they?
Regardless the Love deal is a little hasty but his play has been genuinely high level so I get it. I have more concerns with someone like Lawrence who has never actually played that well.

The resident Green Bay fan poster here plus the media at large. I don’t go on Packer forums so I don’t know what they were saying about him but I doubt if any of it was good until the light suddenly switched on for him in the second half of the season

Gotcha. I might be misremembering but I thought it was more growing pains and the whole offense being sloppy early on. That switch did flip in a big way though.
I thought he was very bad for 5 or 6 games but I clearly know very little about American Football and could not have been more wrong about Love.
I have no worries whatsoever about him getting a big contract.

Rash move. The guy will not beat the likes of Burrow, Allen or Lamar let alone Mahomes when it counts

Looks like the dolphins ownership/coaching staff may have more concussions than Tua himself
