Why isn't Dak on that list? Disclaimer: after I got through the best 70 or 80 guys, I stopped reading.
I wish you could sort by salary or garbage yards, because then Dak would be VERY easy to find.

On a serious (but definitely stupid on my part) note, a 'garbage yards' list might be quantifiable enough to compile as a list. It would face tons of scrutiny, since all readers would never agree on the specific criteria for what constitutes garbage yards. That thread might end up being legendary, lol.
A salary list would be far worse. Player compensation has increasingly escalated since the early 1990's with the evolution of free agency under the current collective bargaining agreement system.
I think a 'reasonable list' would reflect any player (or quarterback in this instance) average salary cap percentage, of all the combined teams they played for, over their career. To me, that makes sense due to players usually receiving multiple contracts (and sometimes multiple teams) throughout their time in the league.
Such a list would automatically exclude pre-1990's salary cap players and/or their overall compensation. Or they should be fairly omitted in my opinion. Consider the Jets signing Joe Namath to a $427,000 contract as a rookie quarterback in 1965. That was the 'biggest contract in NFL history' at the time. Namath's compensation would fall just north of $4.3 million after being adjusted in today's dollars for inflation.
Contrastly, Dak Prescott's $240 million dollar contract made him the highest paid quarterback in NFL history three months ago. Take that same contract back to 1965 in a time machine. His compensation would have been $23.9 million.
Salary compensation is controversial enough while comparing today's players. I would shudder to think how Broadway Joe would react after seeing his salary compared with Prescott's. Heck. He might be pissed off enough to do TEN more new Medicare Enrollment commercials, lol.
