I want him to be the QB, but if he's gonna make 50m+/year, dude needs to be clutch. Otherwise, it's gotta be less to sign other talent.
50m/year is so off the market.
The question isn't, "is Brock worth 50m? 60m?" Nobody is.
The question is what is his market value?
If Josh Allen were to hit the open market, he would get 70 or 80m. He won't hit the open market though because if he and the Bills were at a stand-off, they can exclusive franchise him at 55, then pay 120% that value the next year, which is 66. So, the franchise tag will keep him at the top of the league but won't let it explode a single season - and their team won't pay it.
If Brock hits the open market he would get top money. The market has shown that, time and time again with players.
So this whole, "Brock isn't worth that." Yes, he is because his market value would be that. We can go through a long litany of QB's haven't performed nearly as well as Brock who've been paid top-market value.
Free agent value isn't determined by where someone was drafted, it's how they played.
