ROI = return on investment Joe Flacco Jersey , so which QBs have been the best investments in terms of wins in the modern NFL?"The Seattle Seahawks just handed Russell Wilson the most yearly money of any player in NFL history.This got me thinking about the ROI (return on investment) that teams get for these crazy QB contracts (*note: all data for this comes from Spotrac.com and pro-football-reference.com). If Wilson’s cap hit for 2019 is $35 million, that means Seattle will have almost 19 percent of its salary cap tied up in one player. Spotrac has a tool that shows the entire career earnings by position if you want to see it, so I looked at the career earnings for the top 100 modern QBs (some QBs did not show up in their list, suchas Steve Young and Joe Montana, no idea why) and then found how many wins each QB had led his team(s) to. I divided money by wins to find the best and the worst QBs in terms of ROI. Note that the guys on the “bad” are mainly career backups who got paid large sums to hold clipboards and wear a headset. I also looked at the total number of passes thrown and figured out how much each of these QBs made per pass. Chase Daniel is the king of making a fine living as QB2. He has earned $28.3 million in his NFL career and has exactly two NFL wins to his name. Daniel has made an insane $184K for every NFL pass he has thrown. Among starting QBs, Sam Bradford has made the most money for the least results with Matthew Stafford a distant second (worst). Starting QBs like Jimmy Garoppolo and Baker Mayfield should turn into much better investments IF they start producing winning seasons for their teams on a regular basis. It is interesting to note that both Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers are in the top 20 worst ROI QBs. Two former Bronco QBs are in the top 30 worst ROI - Brock Osweiler, by virtue of that huge contract Houston threw him, and Mark Sanchez have both made more than $2 million for every NFL victory they have “authored.”I realize I have not adjusted this to constant dollars to normalize the QBs who played in the 80s and 90s with the QBs who are playing today. Someone with more of a finance/accounting background should do that since I don’t have the time nor inclination to do so. That being said, Jim Kelly, John Elway and Dan Marino produced with a tremendous ROI relative to modern starting QBs. Elway earned $307K for every victory he authored, while Jim Kelly earned less than $300K. Of course, here in the real world where the rest of us live, $300K is a lot of money and probably more than many of us earn in a year. However, in the NFL, if you have the skills to play QB at an elite level like 0.00000001% of the world’s population can, you could have earned a lot of money even 40 years ago in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers makes roughly $37K every time he throws a pass. John Elway earned about $6K. How’s that for inflation? Currently Peyton Manning holds the record for most money earned by an NFL player during his career (according to Spotrac). He earned about a quarter of a billion dollars playing in the NFL (that does not include endorsement money). His brother Eli is poised to pass him next season. Eli Manning currently has earned $235 million and has $5 million guaranteed for next season even if he is cut prior to June 1. If he makes the roster, he gets another $5 million roster bonus and can earn another $6.5 in base salary if he plays for the Giants in 2019 - bringing his salary for 2019 up to $16.5 million. That would put him in first place all-time in earning for an NFL player. Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady could all end up in that No. 1 spot in a couple of years. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are envisioning ways to stop Patrick Mahomes.The visuals will have to suffice. They’re not simulating the Kansas City Chiefs and their dynamic quarterback at full speed during practice this week with such a short turnaround.They’re basically holding a series of walkthroughs rather than exerting energy ahead of their Thursday night showdown.“It’s hard, particularly playing an offense as prolific as this. You’d like to go out there and experience playing against some of their plays — at least at a practice tempo,” Broncos coach Vic Fangio said. “We won’t be able to do that totally this week. It’s a major, major adjustment from a weekly schedule.”Von Miller won’t deviate from his customary routine to get ready as the Broncos try to snap a seven-game losing streak against Kansas City. Instead, he will condense everything. So his customary every-other-day plunges into a cold tub to get his body ready will have to come on a back-to-back-to-back basis.Of course, there’s the energy of playing the Chiefs in front of a national audience to boost him, too. The Broncos (2-4) enter on a two-game winning streak after starting out 0-4 while the Chiefs (4-2) have dropped two in a row following a perfect September.Suddenly, the Broncos have a real chance to jump right back into the AFC West race.“I mean Bradley Chubb Jersey White , everything is great about it except the short time span between games,” Miller said. “Everything else is super exciting. Going against the Kansas City Chiefs, division rival, versus Patrick Mahomes, one of the best quarterbacks there is — they’re going to be ready to play. It’s going to be a great night.”The lighter-than-usual prep work for the Broncos includes mental reps in practice and plenty of film work. That and anything else to get the body right.“You’ve got to try to recover any way you can,” safety Kareem Jackson said. “You’ve got to take those couple of extra steps or extra stretches or do whatever you’ve got to do to try to get your body back to somewhat of reasonable shape so you can go out there and perform on Thursday. It will definitely take every day this week.“As pros, it’s part of the job and you’ve just go to know what your body is going to need.”Because Mahomes, bum ankle and all, promises to be a handful.He’s thrown 14 touchdown passes with just one interception this season. As for whether the Broncos want to keep him inside the pocket or flush him out, well, it’s a pick-your-poison sort of deal.After all, it’s hard to forget the right-handed Mahomes’ left-handed throw last season in Denver on a Monday night. It was all the buzz on social media. As he scrambled to his left on third-and-5 in the fourth quarter, Mahomes switched the ball to his other hand so Miller couldn’t strip it from him. Tyreek Hill for a 6-yard gain and the first down as the Chiefs rallied for a 27-23 win.“He’s able to make throws inside the pocket, outside the pocket, all over,” Miller said. “He can beat you in all types of ways.”Especially if the Chiefs can establish their ground game. Stopping that is high on Denver’s to-do list, because “if they get started running the ball and they run it all over the place, it’s going to be impossible to win that game,” Miller said.The Colts and Texans both won at Arrowhead Stadium this month by running the ball and keeping Mahomes on the sideline. The Broncos will try to do the same behind running backs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman.“They’re going to come in energized and ready to go, knowing that this one is a big one for them and a big one for us,” safety Justin Simmons said. “It will be good.”NOTES: Fangio didn’t have updates on Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) or OL Ja’Wuan James (knee). … DE Adam Gotsis has been inactive for the last two games after starting three of the opening four contests. “Naturally, he was disappointed,” Fangio said. “He’s handled it well as a good teammate would.”
