You probably didn’t see my edit but the last low priced QB to win a Super Bowl was Nick Foles in 2017 and he was being paid backup money. That was a rarity for a backup QB to come in and lead a team to a championship. You’re not going be able to compete for a championship nowadays unless you pay big for a QB. Any team that has a QB worth a darn is going to have to pay top dollar to hang onto them. Tua just got $53 million per season and he’s not that great. Every team is going to run into the same problem if they land a real good QB. Jordan Love just got paid $55 million per and he’s only played one full season.And I believe this will lead to difficulties for those teams, but especially for the Cowboys as the $60mil price will most likely be the highest and most difficult to deal with to date. Before the CAP, I never paid attention to what players made. But I watched what the CAP did to the SB winning 90's Cowboys and was disgusted. I sure hope I'm wrong.
The teams that don’t have a real good QB are struggling and are picking high in the draft. Not having a viable QB leads to a lot more difficulties than paying a QB top money. All the teams that have solid QBs are making the playoffs regardless how much they’re paying them. The Cowboys have made the playoffs three straight years for the first time since their last Super Bowl win despite the money Dak is being paid. You can’t compete for a championship going cheap at QB.
