Here is a good article explaining what happens when you give the qb big bucks. We all already know this, so why is everyone so surprised? A couple of things are garbage in the article as it applies to Dallas, but the fallout from Rodgers and mahomes deals is evident.

So don't sign Prescott, we have a cheap bad QB?
The QB is so vital, teams will literally lose their rational minds trying to get one. It is the hardest position in football to scout, pick or sign.
And there is a built-in cost for one, so I do not understand the continual and stupid whining.
For the record, I did not like it. I think we did the contract too late.
People just need to be honest, and not fans one way or another about this.
Prescott is not upper crust, but he is functional. That is just simple fact.
He is not who I think can win to the level this franchise needs to overcome all of the built-in handicaps. It will take a generational type, ala Aikman, to get that all squared away. But I get why he is getting paid.
Kirk Cousins has gotten paid handsomely while in the league.
This is just what happens. People really need to get over the angst about Prescott's contract.
Unless you have a good one on a rookie deal, this is what you are going to pay. Two years from now, people will laugh at the contract Prescott signed.
It is just the nature of the business.
Honestly, there should be some sort of cap allowance you can use if you designate your QB to take the lion's share.
