What's the alternative? Low-ball him and trade up for Paxton Lynch or try to pry McCown from the Browns? The NFL has systematically made the QB the most important player on the field, and only 10 people on earth seem to be good at being a QB in a given year...it's just the nature of the game.
If Dalton had thrown 40 TDs and gotten us to the AFC Championship game in 2014 I would have been open to a stupidly-high payday for him too. You can't let a 26 year old QB with playoff success just walk away unless you want to be the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NFL, right?
