Wow.
I am literally at a loss of words, the lack of comprehension is hilarious.
Do you even realize how uncommon it is for a quarterback to be paid 13% or more of the salary of their team?
(HINT: It is also less than 13% of the league)
;)
BUT NONE OF THEM EVER WIN THE SUPER BOWL!
What a revelation, someone call the NFL teams - we have the secret.

They were certainly a good team that year, but wow have they ever fallen off of a cliff as well.

Yeah they've had struggles everywhere, injuries at multiple positions, if not I feel they would be up there in the rankings. Although atm they'd still be behind 49ers and Ravens, those 2 are in stupid good form.

The funniest thing is that you seem to agree with my point, but in your attempt to sound more intelligent than you actually are, you just want to argue instead. It's cool. The idiot in the room usually identifies themself. Sheesh, glad we got that out of the way.

So let's go back to original point: Dak and his contract. If you want to build like the Pats, then you pay Dak around 12.5% of the cap, which would be 25 million assuming a 200 million cap hit. Do you pay him 30 million like he is asking? Do you pay him a higher % than Brady since that is your model? A simple yes I pay him or no I don't will work. I'll go ahead and give you my answer if it wasn't clear: no.

That is probably one of the consequences of having a well-rounded team over some highly paid studs as well, injuries can be more devastating when all of those guys get hurt and you don't have a stud who can try to pick up the slack.

No other position gets paid like the QB does. You could build an all pro OL for 35M...

I'm not agreeing with your point at all.

I'm saying that the whole premise of "don't pay them 13% or you won't win the Super Bowl" is stupid because there is such a small group of quarterbacks that are paid 13%+ that the whole "quarterbacks who get paid that much don't win the Super Bowl" concept holds no water because of lack of appropriate sample size. So if so little teams even pay their quarterback that much to begin with, the possibility of even winning the Super Bowl drops that much more when only 4 of the 32 teams in the league are doing so. Have I broken that down enough for you yet?

But I guess we can write off half of the teams representing the NFC because they are paying their quarterbacks 13%+ of their total salary cap.

If I am Jerry Jones, yes - I am paying Dak because this is a business. Winning a Super Bowl is nice, but the ultimate goal is to make money. Dak may not be elite, but he's good enough to win with the pieces around him. The odds of winning a Super Bowl are dramatically low, but as long as fans have players they can cheer for, jerseys they want to buy and the team is competitive - I'm turning a profit.

No.. not even close.
You could get maybe 2.. and.. 1/3 of a guy though? lol
Tyron Smith, Frederick, and Martin are costing the Cowboys $41M.

Baltimore is ranked in the top 5 of OL. I know for a fact their OL doesn't cost 35M... Their highest paid player is a QB though so I guess he must be the reason they are winning games, right?

Has no one also pointed out that QB is the highest average paid position anyhow? Saying that a QB is the highest paid player on the team seems quite obvious lol

Paying an average QB elite money is not going to work

As long as it's less than 13% of your total cap - it just might.

Well Dak seems to be like he will make in the 16-18% range so good luck. Don't take into consideration that Amari will be gone and you probably have to cut 2 other star players, to make up the 30-35M difference Dak will make. Logically it doesn't make sense. Your team doesn't get any better... Not to mention Dallas has a losing record with Dak making under a million or whatever his rookie deal is

Paying Mahomes won't make the Chiefs better, he will be eating more cap. It's simple logic... However, Mahomes is legit and a difference maker. Maybe he's worth it. I'd rather pay him 40M than Dak 35M

The bottom line with the Cowboys is that they have missed their window because they were too stubborn to do something about Garrett. No matter what they do, they're screwed now. Between paying their offensive line, Zeke, Dak, Cooper, and then the defensive pieces they've crippled themselves - so they may as well focus on turning a profit and trying to make the fans happy (first step will be to fire Garrett).

I said it in another thread - but I'll say it again, I'm looking forward to Mahomes getting the record breaking deal as a Raiders fan.

Per Mahomes, I would be too... It straps a team against the Cap if he's making 20%. The OL gets worse, they have less $ to offer FA, their draft picks aren't high to begin with. It's tougher to win period. The biggest steal is having a QB on a rookie contract balling out. Russell did it, now Mahomes, Watson and Lamar even.

I don't know much about other teams caps but the fact that Flacco is the highest paid Raven is quite funny (and painful) to me. Will be interesting to see how they use 16M extra next year to improve that team. Lamar is on his rookie deal through 2022... If/When these roomie QB sign their 1st big deal is huge for a team. 30M is what some teams are paying their top 3 guys right now. Yes QB is important, but it's a team game

The Ravens really are set up for a few year run of success right now and will be a fun team to watch. I know sometimes I act like a pseudo-Ravens fan, but they've always been a team I enjoyed watching play the game (dating back to Lewis & Reed). I imagine Humphrey will be one of the major pieces in line for an extension with some of that freed up money, but it's scary to think of the Ravens improving at this point. They're like the Chiefs from last year except they can play defense.
