Is paying big money for a QB worth it?

Oh I understand how important LS is. Same with gunners.

I agree with your original statement about a QB and 40 others, I was just trying to throw in a little humor behind it as well.

Yeah that is what I was doing to man. 

We could start up a comedy show.

It would be better than Joey tho

lol. I can honestly say I have never watched a single episode of that show. I never gave it a chance the minute that it was promoted and I saw the most bland "comedian"(and I use that word loosely) was hosting it.

Watched 10 minutes no laughs.

If we did do a show together I would be the main guy and you would be my lacky.

The stats on the OP are interesting, but they lack context.

Who are the QBs in that categories? Are they using total cap available %, or used cap %?

Also the stat seems to contradict itself a bit, since the #s don't seem to add up. Is there more information available on the subject?

Yes. Not enough a question. Sure it'd be ideal having an elite roster and getting good QB on a rookie deal but it would also be ideal if I could just inherent a fortune rather than have to work hard and be prudent in my spending to get there but here we are in reality. If you were talented enough to draft/sign a deep roster that was QB independent, why wouldn't you use those skills to just get an elite QB anyways? A good QB ensures roster viability much more consistently than thinking you can consistently hit on the other 21 positions and fill gaps when you can pay all of them in FA.

QB's like Matt Stafford, Derek Carr, now Jimmy G and probably Kirk Cousins are all making around $25 million a year, more in the case of Jimmy G.

As important as a QB is to a teams success, is it worth it to pay that much for a QB? (Assuming the ultimate goal is to win a SB)

Do you think that you will see more teams give up a franchise QB like the Redskins if he demands that much money?

Whyyyyyy, if he's the right quarterback, he'll be worth every penny!!!

I see a fair amount of "small market teams" that can and have been able to compete for championships, and this isn't even taking into consideration how many small market teams have made the playoffs in this teim span either.  The "small market team" myth is widely exaggerated.  The salary cap doesn't imply a smaller market team can't compete, it just makes it easier to level the entire playing field from a dollar perspective.

I firmly believe that doing away with the salary cap wouldn't be harmful in the least.

A sports team can survive pretty well in baseball through a strong management team and a solid owner, ditto for football, but it is ridiculous to think a small market football team could survive with no cap in place. QB is such an important position in pro football that small market teams in a FA era, would never be able to keep their QB, if a large market team targeted him. Small market teams would sink into oblivion in such a set up.
