It's been said ad nauseam amongst those against resigning our QB1 that no QB that has taken up 14% or more of CAP wins the Super Bowl.
Firstly only one QB wins the SB every year making it very unlikely accomplishment. Now let's dive into the numbers.
Heading into 2020 there are only three players with CAP hits that represent 14% or more, those are Goff, Wilson, and the highest CAP hit being Mr. Dak Prescott. So if you believe in the 14% myth you should want us to resign him immedsitely to lower that CAP hit.
In 2019 only 3 QBs hit the 14% mark again. Those being Cousins, Rodgers, and Stafford. As we know the Packers and Vikings had no issues putting good rosters around their QBs despite the large CAP hit.
In 2018 anybody want to take a guess as to how many hit it? YES YOURE RIGHT, 3! Carr, Stafford, and Jimmy G.
How about 2017? Anybody anybody? Correct it was only 3 again those being Flacco, Palmer, and Cousins.
In 2016 that number jumped up to a whopping 5 QBs, which you'll see seems to be an anomaly. Eli, Big Ben, Ryan, Flacco, and Stafford taking those honors.
2015 had two with only Brees and Rivers.
2014 also only had two with Eli and Big Ben
2013 saw that number jump to 4 with Brees, Manning, Stafford, and Eli.
2012 only had one with Peyton Manning
2011 also only had one with Sanchez
2010 was uncapped
2009 had two with only Manning and McNabb
2008 had Manning all by himself
2007 didn't have any
2006 didn't have any
2005 None
2004 want to guess? Yes you're right
You get the point
So when someone uses the argument of "No team has won SB(very unlikely event in the first place) if they've taken up 14% or more of CAP". What they are actually saying is that over the course of the last 15+ years that these 27 players(out of 500ish starting QBs) didn't win the Super Bowl so therefore it is impossible.
