What kind of contract extension will Love get this off-season?

My guess is 4 years (give or take) and $35 - $45 Mil. I lean towards the higher figure.

He's played well, and doesn't have a lot around him.  I think even your high end is very low.

It could be a bit low. Daniel Jones set the bar at $40 mil for a middling QB.

My guess is he gets Daniel Jones or better AAV over about 5 years without a lot of guarantees, with a lot of escalators for performance, and with at least one or two "off ramp" type moments where the team could move on without devastating cap hits or conversely extend and increase guarantees/up front signing $ if warranted.

Love is significantly better than Daniel Jones.

There is a special breed of sports fans that are happiest when their teams lose so they can complain and be right. 

I have a friend I regularly attend Bucks and Brewers games with and he's the same way.  It's exhausting to be around that kind of negativity.  I mean, look at 4elder's activity on the main board.  As soon as Marquette has a rough patch, there he is telling everyone this team can't or won't.  Take up bingo

The minute I started becoming jaded about sports I took a break until I could enjoy them again. Does watching with hope and optimism result in more disappointment? Of course. But it is no way to live.

Expecting a return greater than the investment you put into your sports fandom is a recipe for disappointment.

Bucks aren't goin' anywhere with #0, #34, #22, and this coach, aina?

Yep, agree

Throw #11 into da dumper too with the other guys. Terrible roster construction, aina?

Some people call it fair weather, but I agree.  One of the healthiest things Ive done is lessen my viewing/investment when a team is in a hopeless stretch.  I rarely watched the last 2 years of the John Fox Bears tenure, and I was living in Chicago at the time.  I went to every Wojo home game I was in Wisconsin for, but watched less and less road games after 2019.  My love of the teams didn't change, but the return was just worth getting annoyed or upset about.

I think those times are what made Shaka's first year, and to a lesser extend the Bears last year, so fun.  Reset expectations to just enjoying watching your team and finding positives and being hopeful for fun/good results.

Yeah if you aren't getting joy out of sports, what exactly is the point?

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

For some it's the misery that's appealing

Sure seemed like Christian Watson was tending towards playing...alas he simply can't be considered remotely close to an impact player until he can prove he can actually get on the field.

Panthers scored 30 against GB. In 7 quarters since, they have scored 0.

Does anyone trust Joe Barry Carroll with the season on the line?

Absolutely not

Packers best player is the kicker

if he doesn't cost them the game today he's definitely going to blow it in the playoffs.

Right now, the bears look more like the team that wants to win.

In big games you can't drop passes in the end zone, and miss FGs.

Decision to cut Crosby may be biggest factor if they miss playoffs. What makes it worse is that he wasn't beaten out for the job.

I was told on Scoop that Carlson was the only player worth not trading for a used bike

[BM1090]

I have no idea how this game is going to turn out.

But this offense is going to be good for awhile and Love is going to be a perennial pro bowler

dude could only get it down to the 10 yard line on the last kickoff.
