I don't hate Dak.
I rarely think of Dak.
The 13% is established fact.
Prove me wrong.
That whole 13% thing is completely overblown.
Prior to 2013, there were only 3 seasons where any QB made more than 13% of the cap.
The league started paying QBs differently due to all the rule changes.
“Several times a team at least appeared in the super bowl despite paying a player in excess of the bugaboo amount. In 2016, Atlanta with Ryan at quarterback got to the big game despite paying Ryan 15.44 percent of the cap. Absent the furious comeback staged by NE, the 13.1 percent bugaboo would already have been broken.
In 2015, Carolina paid Charles Johnson, a DE, 13.78 percent of the cap. In 2013, Denver paid Manning 13.15 percent, which beats Young’s record. In 2009, Indianapolis got to the super bowl despite paying Peyton Manning a staggering 17.2 percent of the cap.”
