I mean I understand you have to have a QB, but shit paying 250 million dollars to Josh Allen who's only just gotten half way good or the kind of money Kirk Cousins makes to be mediocre. Not to mention constantly overdrafting QB's in the draft every year because you gots to have one early and often even when there's only 1 or 2 guys worth a first round pick.
Your last sentence answered your first. Maybe I'm not getting your post though.
Having a franchise QB is way more valuable than the (5-8?) million/year on the cap that you're worried about. If Allen got 35/year everybody would say it was a great deal. Drafting well and bringing in the right FAs is more important than paying a QB market value to keep him. I do think you're lower on Allen than I am though. He was developmental coming out of Wyoming. Diggs was a savior, I definitely get that, but his game is still growing.
Mayfield is an interesting case. I think he'll continue to be very good with Stefanski. I remember saying before last season that offense was perfect for Baker. Mayfield still makes some bad, rushed decisions when the pocket collapses. Stefanski minimizes that a lot and plays to Baker's strengths.
I wish the Ravens would've signed Lamar before Allen signed.
