He’s good enough not to flop imo

The Joel guy is one of the biggest idiots on the internet lol qbr is a joke of a stat
Nobody says he’s bad but he’s wildly inconsistent.
Look at his game log from this year, 5 games under an 85 qb rating. In comparison Tua has had 5 games under 85 in the last 2 years combined and Tua is often described as “mid” amongst fans around the league. He’s also not a rusher so doesn’t even bring that element to the game.
Like I said solid qb but needs to get consistent, it’s a bold move counting on that consistency. Like the move overall though, cheap considering Khalil Mack went for what 3 1st I believe and parsons is better

Tua is better than people give him credit for, but it doesn’t matter in this context. Love is the ‘franchise QB’ for a team whose SB odds just got much more likely yesterday. GB has the 6th highest and Miami has the 9th lowest.
But one franchise is making moves to contend now, and the other is talking about resetting their cap.
Plus, Tua’s time in Miami could be over around the time Parsons’s new contract is just going. Love hasn’t shown he’s worth a quarter of a team’s cap with the upper echelon of SB odds. Which they currently are, and his inconsistency doesn’t make that foreseeable
Imagine their number of wins if Love hadn’t played like a below average QB.LOL I knew that would draw some stats out of you they went 11 and 6 last season I believe so that's what maters but thanks for all the info none the less.

Tua time!
The other is talking about resetting the cap cause the gm is a joke. He already got a cap reset when he traded Tunsil for that draft haul. He just botched it all up.

Tua time!
Yeah where the hell tbey getting flop from?

From people who didn’t like him coming out

Yeah, and how is that Tua’s fault?
Back to the topic, Love started half of one season and they extended him like he was Aaron Rodgers. Now, they think they have SB aspirations, but his contract and inconsistency are the issue — and he didn’t earn it IMO.
If you want to bring this to Tua, Tua has started since his rookie year and had to earn a contract that way (I get that some believe he didn’t); Love had was widely inconsistent for his first season as a starter, and GB rewarded him with a huge contract. It seemed silly to me — he should have gotten something closer to what Fields got with the Jets to show more growth.
Love got his contract because the GM didn’t want to looked like he botched the Love/Rodgers situation
I liked him a lot coming out and still do. I’m mostly being tongue in cheek about his play due to the media fawning over him when he hasn’t played anything like they claim. He’s still young and I think he will be a really good QB at some point.

From Matt Lombardo, execs around the league think it’s a home run:
Jerry Jones’ high-stakes game of chicken has ended with the Cowboys blinking first, after Dallas traded All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, signing the game-wrecker to a new four-year $188 million contract extension.
Parsons’ contract includes $120 million guaranteed from a franchise that sent a clear and resounding message to the rest of the league.
“They’re Super Bowl contenders now,” an AFC scout told me, on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about the trade.
Two first-round picks and Kenny Clark are a pittance to pay for how significantly Parsons raises the Packers’ ceiling in 2025 and beyond.
“Huge impact,” an NFL Scouting Director tells me of the trade, on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about another team. “Clark is a good player, but replaceable. Pass rusher is premium in the NFL.”
Putting pen to paper on his new extension with the Packers, Parsons obliterates the edge rusher market with a market-setting $188 in total value, surpassing Nick Bosa, and Parsons’ guarantees rank third behind Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt.
It had been wholly obvious for weeks that the situation between Jones, Parsons, and his agent, David Mulugheta, had become untenable, which allowed general manager Brian Gutekunst and the Packers to swoop in and make one of the boldest trades in recent memory across the NFL.
“This is all because of Jerry’s ego,” a league source texted me moments after the trade went down.
Parsons will get a crack at Jones’ ego, and at his former team, when the Packers head to Arlington to take on the Cowboys in Week 4 on Sunday Night Football.
Dallas’ self-imposed demolition is the Packers’ gain, adding one of the premier talents at his position who lands in Jeff Hafley’s defense having produced 52.5 sacks through his first four seasons and wholly motivated to exact revenge not just on his former team but the rest of the NFL.
“I’d expect the Packers to use Micah the same way Dallas did,” the scout told me. “But, Jeff Hafley may use him in space, too. He’s mainly going to be a pass rusher there.”
Last season, the Packers finished eighth in sacks with 45. In 2023, the last year Parsons was fully healthy, he posted a career-high 14.
Green Bay’s pass rush had previously been loaded with underachievers, but the wait for Lukas Van Ness to live up to his billing as a first-round draft choice no longer matters with Parsons’ arrival, and the 26-year-old’s presence has the potential to significantly mask some of the growing pains the Packers’ secondary will likely be going through in the season ahead.
Jerry Jones’ gamble wasn’t just losing a game of chicken, it very likely cost the Cowboys their already slim Super Bowl window.

It changes the value proposition entirely.
Take, for example, the most competitive teams in the league. KC, Detroit, Buffalo, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. They are paying their top 3-5 players combined less than the Packers are paying Love and Parsons. I'm sure their duo will be wildly successful, but it leaves faaaar less margin for error in building and retaining a deep and competitive roster around them, like the other teams have.
So what I'm saying is that while I agree that he's probably the most valuable non-QB in the league, and that most GMs would pay him, it doesn't fit in with the philosophy of the most successful GMs. They generally don't give up that much draft capital and cap space. It's kind of a Grier move, which is exciting now, but one that their fans will rue if it doesn't put them over the top before the bill comes for missing those 2 first round picks and their associated rookie deals.
Parson’s cap hits from 2025-2027, respectively, is $9m, $19m, and $26m… after that they have an out with a dead cap of $17m in 2028 and $9m in 2029.
I don’t think his pay will inhibit anything they want to do in the future.
That Packers-Cowboys game is going to be something.
Prescott's head better be on a swivel. Parsons is going to want to have a signature moment in that game.

I don’t see the media fawning over love?
Regardless he was right there with Tua for me personally that year and has shown he has the talent to be a franchise qb at this level

Love's receiver's couldn't catch a cold in an epidemic.
I personally feel that there's not much difference between the top 6-15 qb's in the league atm. Each brings certain elements that their team is trying to capitalize on.
Tua is elite at what he does well.. but if you put Josh Allen in our offense you wouldn't need to play the same way and he'd vastly improve an already explosive offense.
I personally wanted to see miami be the running team I thought we'd see before we traded for Tyreek. We've been pigeon-holed and its become almost a crutch at times.
