Not sure why you're being retarded with "unbearable degree of suffering" and "can't be done" or where you're getting either of those numbers as a "salary", but for a profession with a short shelf life that can end at any time you're a fool if you willingly give up half of what might be all you make in your entire lifetime so a football team can win some more games.

Is it? Are you really saying that making a little less than 40 million a year for todays crop would break them? Did you think this through?

Yeah I love when regular people act all self righteous when it comes to player contracts. You have maybe a few years to make as much money as you can to set you up for the rest of your life.

That's just a bullshit retarded take. Not surprised you endorse it at all. Just a few years isn't at all what the average top QB plays and acting like a 10 year 477 MILLION dollar contract doesn't go far beyond what's needed to be set for life is so far beyond a Zombiehawk take.
Brady set the team up for success with a knowledgeable take on salary cap reqs in the NFL. No one has to follow his example, but he set one. A pretty easy one to follow if the QB thinks they are talented enough to win it all multiple times. Mahomes may be the only QB out there talented enough not to need too much help but we'll see.

The reality with every new QB contract being a record breaking one shows that it is not. Keep on denying reality.

No, that's called scarcity, and can be described in Commodity Theory, dummy. Tell me again where they have a few years to barely scrape by for the rest of their lives. Go ahead. I'm dying to hear your big brain take.

That's such a poor person take. I'd rather have 400M than 250M. You're not struggling to get by in either scenario, but it's a lot easier to be top tier ball out in all aspects of your life until the day you die for sacrificing your body and maybe killing yourself by the age of 52 due to CTE.

It amazes me how sports is the only industry where the employees are vilified for taking as much money as they can. No one working construction or IT or finance is going to take less than what ever they can get from their employer. Any argument that can be made against a top tier QB taking less money "for the team" can be made for any top tier accountant or lawyer taking less money "for the company." And in both cases, they are stupid arguments.

Again, making shit up about it "breaking them"
I'm sure where you work you take only what you need to pay your bills and give everything else back because you're not a hypocrite and the business thriving as much as possible is lot more important to you than your family's security.

That's not the argument and it never was. They can take whatever they can get but Brady made sure the team had options for weapons to win the crown. It has nothing to do with the company or anything else but winning the SB. You can redirect all you want but that's the argument you couldn't understand. Probably still can't.
The argument by Alex specifically is about other positions which is a retarded redirect.

, show me the QBs who are dying from CTE at 52. I'll wait. For RBs, and other positions where a dude isn't playing until 40, sure. Where the face of the team doesn't have a lot of options after football...sure. That's not QB though. We're talking QBs. Get your ESPN hot takes in order.- 1

Bullshit it's not the argument and I'm starting to think you might be actually retarded. How is taking less money so their team can be successful any different than any other employee sacrificing their personal shit for the company they work for?
You really do come off as a hardcore liberal with your idea that since they're rich they owe you shit
