30 million a year would put him in the top tier of QBs. He is no where near the top tier of QBs playing today. He isn't in the 2nd tier either.
Troy didn't have to have elite talent. He just had it. Great players can play with other great players without making one a fraud. Emmitt ran behind that OL. That OL blocked for Emmitt. Both were great. Prescott needs great players because he lacks talent. He can't throw the ball. He can't read defenses. He has no pocket presence. You better have a great running game and defense or you got no shot with this QB. Your passing offense will always be a sloppy sandlot style of play.
They don't adjust the contracts of all 32 starting QB's to make sure salaries reflect QB rankings at all times. That's not how it works. That's not how market value works. The current market environment is as much a factor as the talent of the player. Accordingly, Dak's contract will simply mean he was negotiating in a better market environment than those who may have negotiated a year ago, or 2-3 years ago.
