CAN NFL TEAMS CONTEND WITH A HIGH-PRICED QB?
BY IAN HARTITZ

I figured many would find this interesting with the largest discussion on here surrounding signing Dak. Here's 2 excerpts from the article:
"NFL teams with a higher percentage of the salary cap devoted to their QB have consistently made the playoffs more often than those with a cheap option under center. We also see similarly-positive trend lines emerge when accounting for more success than simply making the playoffs."
"Naturally, teams that experience success tend to pay the QB that helped engineer that success (as they should). Paying top dollar at the position hasn't led to overwhelmingly more success than teams that have rolled with lower-cost options, but it's still been the superior choice. If a team doesn't have a solid home-grown option to build their franchise around, they're likely better off going back to the draft than gambling on a mid-level free agent addition."
