I don't think you can field a dominant team right now sinking $20 mil into a player who isn't consistently top 3. And it is really hard to get that kind of player.

So there are really only two options:
(1) blow up the team and Suck for Luck. This is risky still because you can suck for years and still not get the guy you are looking for
(2) underpay a serviceable vet like Alex Smith and hope you can identify/develop talent in the last 1st round / 2nd round. This is pretty much what Seattle and San Francisco did.

We are going with option 2 and it's a formula we've seen work out.
How is Seattle and San Francisco following path #2? They drafted a QB and lucked into the rookie contract.
