The salary increases are not being spread around proportionately--when average QBs start making above $30m, something is wrong.  I think teams should have a scale where you have 1 A player, 2 B players, 5 C players, etc.  The A player--whoever it is--gets $20m.  The B players get $15m, The C players get $12m, for example--like the rookie cap.

The owners would go for it, the majority of the players would go for it.  $2m per game?  No Qb is close to being worth that.  Think about it--if the QB is on the field for half a game, that comes to $1100 per second.  That means the QB makes about $5000 per play.

Can't wait until QB's are taking up 25% of the cap. We are going to see a lot more rookie and journeyman QB's starting in the league. 

Soooo, you think I'm right about this being Cam's next to last season in Carolina?

The bubble is going to burst at some point.

Oddly enough, if I recall correctly, Newton was the first quarterback drafted when the league implemented the rookie wage scale.

QBs have been pretty consistently around 17-18% for the top end. It’s just that the cap keeps going up. Mahomes could possibly get 20%.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
