The hate really amazes me. Joe has messed up plenty and most certainly deserves criticism. He does need to do better, no doubt about that. The money he is paid is thrown around constantly, but it is often forgotten that is what quarterbacks cost. They make more than the other positions on the field. I believe a lot of the vicious hate is rooted in jealousy of his wealth and success.
"it is often forgotten that is what quarterbacks cost" No- $120 million is what TOP TIER Quarterbacks cost. Joe is currently bottom tier (lower than 25th), and has been 3 of the 4 years since his postseason run. That is where a lot of the frustration comes from.
How is he lower than 25th if he's 5th in passing yards this year? are you talking QBR or something? What is he 25th at? And wrong, $18mil+/year is now starter money, not just top tier money. Joe makes a little more because, in case you forgot, he won us a Superbowl. Sure you want him to be better, but he got his market value. Tyrod is making $18mil a year for crying out loud.
18mil is NOW starter money, your right...back when he signed the contract though it was top tier, he should've been paid significantly lower, I like Joe...but Anquan Boldin and Pitta got him that contract cuz he was flailing the ball up like he always does, Boldin n Pitta were just coming down with amazing catches
