Saturday vs. Sunday returns with John Barban and Geoff Dover tackling one of the hottest debates in the NFL right now: Are these massive quarterback contracts worth it? Or are teams just throwing money at players who’ve never sniffed a Super Bowl?This episode dives into the numbers—real numbers—not just cap hits and clickbait headlines. From Brock Purdy’s newly inked $260 million deal to Dak Prescott’s top-of-market $60 million per year average, John and Jeff take you through a data-backed journey comparing playoff wins, Super Bowl appearances, draft position, and average salary per year for today’s highest-paid quarterbacks.John reveals a detailed spreadsheet he compiled comparing every top QB contract by AAV (average annual value) with one burning question: Does it correlate to postseason success? Spoiler: It doesn’t.You’ll hear why Mahomes is in a class of his own, why Purdy might be the best-value quarterback in the league today, and how draft position continues to cloud fans’ and front offices’ perception of a QB’s true worth. The guys break down the complete playoff records for elite QBs like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, and Lamar Jackson—and put it next to their contracts for a revealing look at who’s getting overpaid.They also highlight how the early Super Bowl runs of Montana, Aikman, and Brady are not historical flukes but the rule—if your quarterback is special, he shows it right away, often on his rookie deal.Plus, you’ll get a look at who’s still coasting off hype, who might be the next Peyton Manning stuck behind a Mahomes dynasty, and why team-building around your quarterback matters more than just giving him $50M per year.Oh, and yes—Bo Nix gets some love as the bargain of the decade.Whether you’re a fan who’s skeptical of the Purdy deal, a numbers nerd, or someone who just wants a clearer picture of how QB money really works in today’s NFL—this is the episode you can’t miss.Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop your take in the comments—was Brock Purdy worth the payday? Or did the 49ers just make a massive mistake?
