concussions ease the pain of life

>England's brave Gareth Bayol makes 15 million pounds or roughly 19.9 million dollars as a star for the world's biggest soccer club
>Literal meme Luol Deng just signed a contract with the shittiest team in the west for 18 million dollars a year to come off the bench

Really makes you think

Because backup QB is still the best job in sports

>make $2-10 million/year for holding a clipboard and *maybe* the ball during field goals

because being a mediocre QB will make you more famous than being a mediocre anything else
see:Tony Romo

>thinking about soccer when he clearly said football
fucking commie

you still have to perform well in practice or you're getting shit canned. they do a lot of workouts with first team receivers.

>being paid millions to participate in the best exercise program in the world

>>69158083
It's still way easier than almost any other starting job in either football or basketball.

>Wanting fame

I'd rather have 30 million a year and smoke weed all the time than never have any privacy in public

NBA contracts are also fully guaranteed, it's a game that doesn't have the same long-term health consequences as football, and it's such a toxic league that no one really expects you to try very hard every night

a basketball roster has what, 12-15 players? NFL rosters have 50, soccer have 25-35. That is why NBA players earn more.

>Tony Romo
>mediocre

Nigga did you see how badly the Cowboys imploded without him? You can argue he's not elite because of his injury issues, but he's a top 10 QB when he's healthy and mediocre QBs aren't top 10 QBs.

This is why football will die. People are more aware of concussions and CTE and realize the sport is way to dangerous

An athlete can play baseball or basketball for 5 times the amount of money and way less injuries.

Plus they can play into their 40s

>soccer
>several major leagues, each with about 20 teams, 23-25 players each

>basketball
>one major league, 30 teams, 14 players each

Basic economics

>>69158265
Eli's Top 10, as is Flacco when he's trying to make a paycheck
Those are some mediocre QBs

>>69158560
Then by definition they aren't mediocre. A mediocre QB would be some middling veteran like Alex Smith or Jay Cutler

Football really needs to either increase its cap dramatically or abolish it. The market value of Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers is in reality way higher than the value of some luckswing shitter who plays only every 5th game.
