I'm not sure I get the point you're trying to make, that's the way the system already works. Changing it to the proposed system would give the elite QB team a bigger advantage.

Look at it this way if a team has a top QB and is paying him $25 million per season, and another team has "just a guy" at QB and is paying him $12 million per season. That team has 13 million extra dollars to improve other areas of their roster. Under the proposed system both teams would have the same cap amount plus one team has a way better QB.

Also why do we need to make a QB pay scale if we aren't counting them against the cap anyway?
