Jared Goff and the Lions agree to 4 year $212M extension.

That logic makes sense in a vaccum, but if you think back to when Peat signed his 2nd contract w/ us....he got payed like a top tier LG despite being slightly above average. Skill doesn't always dictate price, the market does. So yes you're right but wrong at the same time. Car was payed top 10-15 money at the time despite not being a top 10-15 QB because the market dictated his value more than his play did.
I have to disagree. It's a supply and demand world and the demand for Carr wasn't there. It was us and the Jets and they were using him as leverage to get AR and everyone knew it. We competed against ourselves with Carr's contract.
