If we look at the highest paid QBs and their history of superbowl and superbowl wins appearances, we will see a reality that should change, first let's look at Aaron Rodgers, he was selected in 2005 and it was until 2011 that he led packers to the superbowl and they won it. Between those years he had a salary between 10M and 22M per year, it was until 2018 that he was given a contract for an average salary of 33.5M per year, at the age of 34, since 2011 he has not had appearances in a Superbowl again. and from what you see he is in the final stretch of his career because he is already 36 years old.

Now let's look at Russel Wilson, he was selected in 2012, it was until 2014 that he led the Seahawks to the superbowl and they won it, and he had another appearance in the superbowl the following year and lost him. After winning the superbowl he was given a contract of 21.9 M per year, and it was until 2019 that he was given the 35M contract per year, at the age of 30, since 2015 he has not had appearances in superbowls, and this year 2020 he does not have very high expectations to get back to a superbowl

now it's Ben Roethlisberger's turn, he was selected in 2004, it was in 2006 that he had an appearance in the superbowl and they won it, then in 2009 they came back to the superbowl and they won it, and in 2011 they came again and this once they lost it. Between 2006 and 2011 he had a presence in the superbowl Ben had a salary between 14.6M and 21.8M, it was until 2019 that he was given the average 34M salary per year, at the age of 37, from 2011 has had no appearance at the Superbowl, and has no high expectations of reappearance.

Matt Ryan, selected in 2008 in the first round, led his team to the superbowl until 2017, his contracts before playing the superbowl between 2008 and 2017 was between 11.2M and 20.7M, until 2018 he received a 30M contract per year at 33 years. has little prospect of returning to the superbowl

These contracts can be said to be fair, but they are still excessive because there is no certainty that they will return to a Superbowl, the following contracts are a sign of corruption that is affecting current contracts, bad business, hasty and baseless.

It is the turn of Jared Goff, he was selected in 2016 selected number one global, and it was in 2019 that he had an appearance in superbowl which they lost, he just signed a contract for 33.5M at the age of 25, very hasty in my opinion. has medium expectations of returning to the superbowl,

Carson Wentz, selected in 2016 and had an appearance and guided the eagles to the superbowl in 2018, the same won but by the hand of Nick Foles, in 2019 he signed a very hasty contract of 32M per year, since he is very prone to get injured, you have a good chance of going back to a superbowl,

Kirk Cousins, selected in 2012, has had no superbowl appearances, just received a 28M contract per year, at age 33, bad contract,

Jacoby Brissett, selected in 2016, does not have appearances in the super bowl, he has not achieved anything, in 2019 he was given a salary of 27.98 M at the age of 27 very bad contract.

Jimmy Garoppolo, selected in 2014, had an appearance in the superbowl as a substitute for Brady in 2015, it was until 2019 that he led San Francisco to the super bowl which they lost. in 2018 he receives a contract that averages 27.5M per year at the age of 26. a regular contract, since it is not an elite QB,

Finally, Matthew Stafford, the first round selection in 2009, has no super bowl appearances, nor has he achieved anything, but in 2017 he was given a contract of 27M per year, another bad contract, but the price of being the same is the same. selection 1 of the draft,

If we compare them with the great Tom Brady, they are far from his quality in all aspects, Brady has had a maximum salary of 25M but throughout his career he has been between 12M and 19M per year, in summary Dak's ego is very high, pretending to win more than several that in a way have done something to deserve a high contract, but from what we saw, having a better paid QB in the league does not guarantee that he will win a Superbowl, a team does not need a QB with many dollars, I require that they invest in the entire team and make it competitive, so for me Dak is a moron, an opportunist, who should not be part of the jeans, with Dak or without Dak The team has a chance of making it to the Superbowl because it has talent on its roster. Dak is a squeaky kid, hopefully the Joneses soon get tired and look for another alternative, and focus on the team and not Dak, Dak is not a guarantee of winning a Superbowl, the guarantee is to have a very good team around your QB,

People really need to stop with the Brady contract comparisons. He's married to one of the richest women on the planet. It's foolish to believe that has nothing to do with his contract demands over the years.

So the question becomes is the QB contract/no SB thing correlation or causation?

Here's another point of view:
