Can we talk about pressures that lead to high QB salary in a free market?

[FanofJerry]

Is a reasonable conversation too far against the narrative?

You’re either way smarter than me or way dumber than me. I’m not sure which.

Why does it have to be polarizing?

Its a must?

Really wish there was a separate cap for FAs and your own drafted players. The way the cap is currently setup it punishes teams that draft really well by not allowing them to sign all their own drafted players.

 

[FanofJerry]

Good/Love is fake? Its a means to an end?

Hate/Negativity is real? Extraction is foremost?

Taking advantage is the truth?

"Im neither moral nor immoral, Im profit seeking"?

Why the false illusion? Why is Dr. K's practice illegal unless its about taking me for everything you can?

No, because if you don't plan on resigning them the following year, you should be trying to trade them.

GM Jerry has a fascination with trying to acquire comp picks. Same reason GM Jerry does not want to sign good free agents, because it will offset our FA losses and devalue our comp picks.

Unbelievable strategy. He wants/believes we will win a SB through comp picks.

Sounds like a convenient way to leave the door open to complain about decisions a GM couldnt avoid...

Seems fair right?

I've been a proponent of something like this for years. For instance, if you have a player who has only been on one team and is say a 10 yr vet. then teams you be able to reward that loyalty not have to cut them as a salary cap issue. Say something like they only count 50 percent of their salary against the cap...

Pressures that lead to present Qb price levels

The multitude of rule changes that promote scoreing in hopes of more tv, attendence money..
....puts more and more emphasis on 1 person

They way to win in the NFL is to do the opposite of everyone else. Simple supply and demand.

NFL turned into a passing league. Defense went smaller and faster to keep up and then get dominated by the teams that can run the ball.

A handful of teams did not fall into that trap. The committed to stopping the run and did not abandon their run game.

Regardless of what the latest trends will be in the future, you have to have balance or at least the ability and/or willingness to adjust. DQ just kept doing the same thing as we got gashed in the run game.

Even after drafting Mazi tried to turn him into something he wasn't.

IMO, teams are mistaking the importance of a QB for what you should pay for one. The percentage of cap going to QBs is getting crazy.

Water is very important. You die without it. But you pay little because there is plenty of supply.

But for fortunate circumstances for Purdy, he could still be warming the bench. Same for Dak, really. Downroster QBs don't get a lot of chances. I bet there are more starting quality QBs buried on rosters.

Draft more QBs. Carry more QBs on the roster. Play more. Run more. Develop more.

Big bonus in cheap QBs on the field is that you can run them. Huge added dimension to an offense.

Build the rest of the team. Conserve cap. When you hit on a good QB on a cheap contract, and the team is quality around him, then you spend free agent money to push the team over the top.

Who knows? Maybe that's the plan now. Lance would at least be a step in that direction.

We drafted a developmental NT in the 1st and tried to turn him into a 3T.
Ugh.

There needs to be a QB paying limit. Ever increasing QB prices are destroying today's game since teams can't afford to keep much of their developed talent.

That would lead to more money devoted to player salaries. Since the salary cap and it’s increases were bargained for in the CBA what are the players going to give the owners of equal value to get such a policy added to the bargaining agreement.

Yes, that is my thought also.

The rule changes to make the pass game more faveorable has a lot to do with money for QBs going up.
