So normal business does not mean getting paid for doing work? Interesting. It doesn't matter what the pay scale is. If you're mad because of what Dak makes, then get to the gym, start working out and go compete for the starting role. It's no different anywhere else. You don't like what you're paid, then do something about it. I am sure Dak thought he was underpaid with his contract before he was paid. In a few years, Dak will be underpaid again for what current QB's are making, if he stays on as the starting QB. It's the same for every player in every position. So no, don't "up yer game pal." If you think you're underpaid, go somewhere else, do something else. Otherwise, your compliance is acceptance.
And guess what? We all have a sense of being worth more in terms of how we are paid. We all feel we are under paid and over worked. It's life. No matter what BUSINESS is being talked about, there's always those employees or people who get upset about what someone else makes. Who cares what someone else makes. You agreed to what you are getting paid. Deal.
