Florio keeps preaching this and it makes zero sense to me. 

Today's world; as the cap rises the QB deal becomes a lesser percentage of the cap, that is good for signing other players.

A percentage of the cap would most likely be considered guaranteed, how would that be calculated for future years as to being in compliance with the escrow requirement?   

I do not see any benefit for this idea other than the QB is getting a raise every year, it most likely negates the opportunity to be creative with rolling guarantees, etc., and would defitniely prevent the signing of some new free agents every year.

I wish Pat or Mike or anyone, would explain to me how this is beneficial to the team moving forward.

Because a player will never take a larger percentage of the cap than they did when they signed. There's no guarantee that the cap is going to rise each year. We're just 2 years removed from the cap decreasing.
