Show me where any team has won a Super Bowl while paying its quarterback more than 15 percent of the current year's cap.
Rodgers, Brees, and Wilson all won one, got paid, and haven't been able to do it again, and it's not because they lost talent. Brady has always taken less to have a team around him, and he's won Seven. This is empirical, folks. It's not rocket science.
For Dak's $41m/year to not exceed 15 percent, the cap needs to get to $273m. They're done for quite a while.
And That's without giving up picks and players for him. Watson, at similar pay? That's insane.
The way to win Super Bowls is to draft a quarterback, and make it work. You can't buy a trophy in the cap era.
