Sure, tying up a lot of money on one position can be detrimental - but if any position warrants it, it is the quarterback position. There is a reason they command so much on the market.


All it takes is for a team to have a pretty successful couple years of drafting to surround Wilson with the pieces he needs to win them a Super Bowl.

He’s the highest paid right now. He won’t be by next year.
I mean anyone who got a record breaking contract. Even if they’re not actively the highest paid, when’s the last time someone followed it up with a SB win
12 tm/PPR/SF/TE+/Full IDP (start 11/11)/Contracts
QB- TLaw, Stafford,
RB-
WR- JJ, Lamb, DJM, Dell, Kirk , QJ
TE- Engram, Schultz

I'm pretty sure never, but that doesn't really tell the full story. I believe the stat that is most-telling (or most cherry-picked, depending on how you feel about it) is that no team has ever won the SB when giving their QB more than 13% of their cap. I believe Wilson's $35M would be 18.6% of the cap.

Having said that, call me crazy in the face of those numbers but I still think he's one of those few players that are so good that he's worth every penny. But, he's really only worth the money IF (and it's a big IF) the Seahawks actually let him f***ing throw the ball more. Here's the passing play %'s for each team last year:

01) 67.5% - GB
02) 67.4% - PIT
03) 65.2% - ATL
04) 64.4% - MIN
05) 64.0% - NYG
06) 63.1% - TB
07) 61.9% - IND
08) 61.7% - CIN
09) 61.6% - PHI
10) 61.3% - DEN
11) 61.1% - KC
12) 61.1% - OAK
13) 60.6% - ARI
14) 60.4% - DET
15) 59.8% - CLE
16) 58.9% - CAR
17) 58.6% - JAC
18) 57.8% - SF
19) 57.8% - LAC
20) 57.8% - NYJ
21) 57.7% - MIA
22) 57.2% - WAS
23) 57.0% - DAL
24) 56.7% - LAR
25) 55.5% - NE
26) 54.6% - HOU
27) 53.8% - CHI
28) 53.6% - BUF
29) 53.4% - NO
30) 51.8% - BAL
31) 51.6% - TEN
32) 47.2% - SEA :wall: :wall: :wall:

How you gonna make him the highest-paid QB of all-time just to have him lead the league in handing the ball off? Seahawks better let Russ take more command of that offense.
Peyton came in at 13.3% after incentives. That was just the first guy I thought of.
All I Der Is Win - 16 Team IDP League (Pass TD 6pts)

QB - Stafford, Stroud, Tune
RB - Swift, Hall, Penny, Bigsby, Ford
WR - Pittman, Olave, Di. Johnson, G. Wilson, J. Williams, Metchie, Robinson, M. Wilson
TE - Okonkwo, Schoonmaker
LB - Brooks, R. Smith, Phillips
DL - Crosby, Allen, Simmons
DB - D. James, Baker, Delpit
K - Just a stupid kicker
