That’s why I’m so critical of young QB’s. If they aren’t elite, paying them probably won’t work out.
Goff is the most recent example of this.

Yeah, but if you're an NFL team you can't just say "If we don't have Mahomes, we're ****ed..."
Even if you probably are.
So you have to pick the best of less than stellar options and then figure out how to make it work. Sure, they'd like to stumble into another Dak or Wilson and have him dirt cheap for several years. But man - Jordan Love is going in the first round these days. Teams are hard up for QBs and unless they draft top 5, attempting to draft a guy is likely to yield a worse QB than what they have. The demand for young QBs is so high that any truly good bets will go top 5.
The QB market is ****ed up. Everyone knows this. But at the same time, nobody seemed to be too concerned about it during CBA discussions. If it was something the owners were really all that worried about, they'd have addressed it then.
