It worked for Trent Dilfer, that guy on Tampa Bay that I can't name, and 2015 Peyton Manning, I guess.  

Kapernick, Grossman, Hasslebeck, McNabb, and Delhomme are the only ho-hum QBs that have even made the SB in the past 12 years or so and they all lost.  I'm not saying that paying a QB $785,000,000 is the key to success BUT it also seems like winning it all with a game-manager is a bit of a pipe dream these days.

If you talk price tags, Kapernick and Wilson were both super bargains for their price when they were in the SB...until they had to get paid.
