That's not true. Have you heard of the salary cap? When you have to field a roster of 53 players, questions about who is worth what are legitimate concerns. You can't pay everyone what they are worth on the open market. The Niners success has come with a very specific formula. They go cheap at QB (Alex Smith, Colin Kapernick, Jimmy Garropolo, and now Brock Purdy) and load up on defense and the skill positions. If they let Purdy reset the QB market or pay him 50M, that formula goes out the window. Do you think Purdy can carry an offense like Mahomes or Josh Allen? Nope. You saw this year that without their great skill position players, Purdy is just another QB. Through 16 games, he's got 3800 yards, 20 TDs , and 12 INTS. Very mediocre stuff. Paying him would be foolish.
Im over the lousy excuses, like the ones you are pushing...
Define YOUR IDEAL percentage of cap for each position, along with what you think the MAX PERCENTAGE should be for SUPERSTARS at that position.
Give me your list and then we can talk. Until, your leaving a door open to argue for pages and pages and pages...which is what you want unfortunately.
Dont just talk about it, define your percentages before you start claiming so and so isnt worth it.
Until this board defines the percentages...this board is engulfed in controversy, which only benefits the people that profit off this board.
I think your ideology is tinkering with overpaying non-important positions. Money left over from paying QB's large contracts will cause the percentage of pay for long-snappers to increase. Dont try and lie to me and say that the money left over from QB's will only go to other skill positions.
Im not for Big Cats taking all the money, but Im not for, in a sport with cap implications, wanting to pay positions lower on the totem pole.
Its over-pay QB's(important position), or devalue the QB so that other less important positions get paid better.
Its a tough balancing act, but I think the Owner and Agents of Players have mostly figured it out. Sorry to be an a-hole about it.
I get the 49ers ideology of a balanced team, but they havent won squat with that philosophy, so Lynch is the same as Jerry at this point.
Pay a QB that can compete with Mahomes, because Mahomes eats through well paid, balanced teams. Paying a QB is better than a good defense that good QB's are eating up.
