[Birmingham]

suck it, haters! 

[Ogre]

Let me know what round he's drafted in.

Let me know what round he's drafted in.

Before yesterday I didn't think he would make a team, after yesterday I say he will become a backup and make millions of dollars.  It's fun to talk crap about millionaires not being successful isn't it, Ogre?

You don't understand economics, do you? 

Even if he makes a team -- which remains highly unlikely -- he won't make "millions" of dollars unless he stays on the roster for five or six years, at which point he might finally break that initial million-dollar threshold.

Meanwhile, many of us will work at our jobs making what we make now and at the end of ten years will have made more than JPW over the same period of time.

**Edit - I just went a reread your post.  You're right.  He'll never make millions, but my point is that he'll still be much more than fine in life. 

I've got to disagree with you here.  If he does make a team, he'll be pulling in some serious money over a couple of years.  Unless you're banking 150K+, JPW will be just fine if he plays backup QB for a couple of years.  He'll more than likely get signed on at around 350K/yr.  Even if he plays a mere two years, his salary along with Alabama used car commercials, he'll have plenty of money to invest along with plenty of money to spend.  Not to mention, he'll probably walk right into a cush job as soon as he finishes in the NFL. 

Here is a list of the back up quarterbacks in the NFL and what their 2008 salaries. In some cases back up qb's, such as New Englands Matt Cassel have taken over the starters job. They are still listed below. All salary information is from the USA Today's NFL Salary Database. (See related links)

Okay, so now we know what some people are banking. 

JPW never makes an NFL roster. 

[boartitz]

suck it, haters! 

Nice little prize for his last game ever.

[RWS]

Okay, so now we know what some people are banking. 

JPW never makes an NFL roster. 

more than likely will sign very late round or free agent onto a practice squad. wouldn't be surprising if Mike Shula puts in a good word for him somewhere.

[Kaos]

Wouldn't be surprising if Mike Shula puts in a good word for him somewhere.

That and $1.49 will get him a Mt. Dew at the Texaco station.

[Ogre]

Before yesterday I didn't think he would make a team, after yesterday I say he will become a backup and make millions of dollars.  It's fun to talk crap about millionaires not being successful isn't it, Ogre?

I don't see JPW being a millionaire any time soon.  I'd be willing to bet that Tyler Watts is knocking back more selling insurance in Birmingham than JPW will make if he goes pro.

[ssgaufan]

Damn I'll bet the Cardinals like that 6 million dollar waste of a uniform that they have on the bench.

[El Guapo]

Damn I'll bet the Cardinals like that 6 million dollar waste of a uniform that they have on the bench.

Despite what he did at USC, they should have known better.

[Saniflush]

The real question for JPW is can he hold onto a roster spot for 5 years and make his retirement?  Practice squad time does not count toward that total number for your retirement. 

[JohnDeere]

suck it, haters! 

Yeah, this is sort of like Brodie win the ESPN Skillz Challenge.....Brodie slung a ball five yards further then Vince Young....Bamer Nation continued to proclaim Brodie as the sure leader of the 2006 QB draft class for two more weeks. So now the question is......who will Croyle be suiting up with next year?

BTW....I don't think David Carr showed up in sunny Orlando for the event.

[CCTAU]

Man, some of these guys will not go away. If I'm Brunell, I too would sit on my ass for 4.7 mil. Is QB the most recycled position in pro football?
