I don't think a QB making 15% has ever won a Super Bowl. Or maybe it's 18%. Can't remember.
Matt Ryan should have been the first, but Ratface Jr. took that away from him. |

I mean, what is the price of a generational talent playing the most important position on the field who is capable of bringing multiple championships for his team?

I’ve seen national guys put out numbers like 17.5 percent.

Here’s a good article on this:
https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/1...atrick-mahomes “The only team to win the Super Bowl while having its two highest-paid players make more than 21.6 percent of the salary cap is the 49ers in 1994 with Steve Young and Jerry Rice.” |

You save 15% by cutting/not making the mistake of signing Watkins, LDT, Hitchens (I wouldn’t put Chris Jones in that group because he’s so important to keeping our Defense at a high level — Watkins, LDT, and Hitchens are replaceable though Watkins was a great get for this next season at least).
The need for a great GM just goes way up going forward. In Veach we trust... |

If he wanted 100 million a year I'd pay it. I'd pay for 'Reek, Kelce, Watkins, Fisher, and Schwartz. On D I'd pay Mathieu, Clark, maybe Jones. The rest of the team would be made of all players on their rookie deals and vets on one year minimums.

Matt Ryan, Cam, Eli Manning, Matt Stafford, Jimmy Grapes etc. Those are the “good but not great” QB’s who have to have a **** ton of help to win the Super Bowl, which is why you should t pay them top dollar. Dak Prescott is the very definition of this principle. Then you have guys who truly deserve it like Rodgers and Wilson, but their management is trash. Look at all the **** ups those teams have had in the draft? Mahomes taking up 20-25% of the cap should not affect our chances having a goddamn legend at QB. The closest thing to Mahomes the last 10 years is Aaron Rodgers, who took an ineptly ran franchise to 3 conference championships the last 7 years; almost 4 if not for an OT loss in the divisional rd. He probably takes the Packers to 4 conference championships and a Super Bowl or two if he has competent management behind him.

I'm not worried about the offense with Mahomes and Andy Reid, and when Andy retires, Mahomes will have things down such that he's basically running the show anyway, kind of like how Tom Moore barely had to lift a finger on those Indy teams with Manning. But when Rodgers lost his great defensive players like Woodson and Jenkins, Ted Thompson failed at drafting replacements, and when he failed, he didn't account for those mistakes and barely ever acquired veteran free agents to fill those gaps. And that's how Aaron Rodgers only won a single Super Bowl in his career. We can lose some guys (especially the ones not performing up to their contracts like Hitchens) but when you start pushing past 20% of the cap taken up by one player EVERY YEAR (where there's no maturation of the contract with the yearly cap rise) then it's not just one or a few of those glue guys on defense that you're losing. It's multiples. Potentially all of them. Or one of your stars. Or you find some way to squeeze them all in but then miss out on an important 1-year veteran signing that could put things over the top for your defense. |

Luckily, I don't have to pay Mahomes, because we would be ****ed if I did.
