FalconsIn2012 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This isn’t meant to bash on Ryan. Just interesting to see the data. Ryan’s % of CAP is 12.5% this year and 17.5% next year. Here are the SB winning QB since 1995 Elway 5.20% Elway 5.00% Warner 1.30% Dilfer 1.60% Brady 0.47% Johnson 7.60% Btady 4.40% Brady 6.30% Big Ben 4.90% P Manning10.40% E Manning 9.20% Big Ben 6.80% Brees 8.30% E. Manning 11.70% Flacco 6.60% Wilson 0.56% P Manning 11.66% Brady 8.62% Foles 0.91% Brady 10.68% Mahomes 0.96% Average CAP assumed by SB winning QB: 5.6% since 1995 Jerz, Chitown2ATL_Falcon and Falcons_Frenzy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We dont have a clue what it is next year. Salary cap could rise 30 min in the new CBA for all we know. It'll also most likely be restructured again. Ergo Proxy, Lethal, Falcons_Frenzy and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Take away rookie contracts and Tom Brady and his under the counter earnings and you have a much different list. The Mannings are much more comparable and it's close so... Not to mention if DQ and KS didn't go full blown brain fart this wouldn't even be a topic.

Only the Mannings in the past 22 years Yea but you are equating us not winning a SB to Matt's contract and I don't think that is accurate. Not entirely anyway. Especially considering his coaches preventing him from at least 1. I can go down your list and pick apart the differences between those players and Matt and the differing circumstances, different skill levels, different points in their careers, etc. It's kinda a stretch. How many nfl leading rushers have won a SB? Does it mean we shouldn't aim to get one? No, of course not.

In 2016 Ryan accounted for 10% which is not awful And we are talking contracts, not production so the RB analogy doesn’t hold water A Pimp Named Slickback™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though had it been Wentz it likely still low since he just only recently got extended. The first 4 to 6 on the list is a different pay era all together.

So what is your root point of the thread because I am confused. Is it about inflation or is it about allocating too much on QBs? Also a follow up question if it is the latter is...if you are KC, are you not going to give Mahomes what he wants even if it is 20% of the cap?

In the past 22 years, only 3 QB’s exceeded 10% of the CAP and won a SB. The average is 5.2% of the CAP. 22 years is a large sample size. Perhaps a team is better going with a rookie for 5 years and building a stacked team around him. What would Atlanta look like with Hebert and an extra 30 mill in CAP space? Im not advocating any of this. Just something to think about. And yes, I know the dead cap makes this impossible for Ryan.

Just something to think about That is one way of doing it, but it also exposes you to missing on a qb and setting yourself back for years. In an ideal world, sure you just keep the stud rookie qb's on rotation and never worry about it, but that's not reality. It's not that easy. Ultimately, draft well, coach well, profit. I just don't get too wrapped up in this stuff because I don't really believe there is a direct correlation... Mahomes, Wilson on rookie contracts. Throw it out. Brady took less because of TB12, throw it out. Foles was a backup when he won, throw it out. That eliminates a ton. I'm not even gonna get into the early years because it's not comparable. Which leaves you with the Mannings of the world which is comparable to Matt. Big Ben had great drafting and defense. Question is, once you get a franchise qb...a true franchise qb...do you risk letting him walk for the sake of paying someone else less? I don't think so. In your scenario, Herbert could suck and we could buy Ray Edwards players...which would set us much further back than just paying the actual proven franchise qb. I get your point, and it is interesting, but I don't buy it. Too many variables.

What would coaches not choking SB51 have done to the average? It's not why we lost the SB. Injuries are more of a correlation than % of cap at QB. I don't buy into it as correlating just coincidental. It's a framing of data to extrapolate something that isn't really there just because correlation exists. For example, Chris Jones was on a rookie deal still and without his plays in the 4th Q the Chiefs lose and the Jimmy G team wins... ^The story to be told is...having underpaid rookie contracts before their 2nd contract...perform in a meaningful way helps odds of SB? That's more the truth here: Any SB team needs underpaid players to perform ahead of big pay days or to supplement highly paid players. The rest is just a story.
