No Team has won the Super Bowl in 20+ years with their QB taking up more than 12.6% of the salary cap

One scenario is directly related to the ability to build a team and controllable, the other is related to chance.

Apples and oranges man. 

It was mean to demonstrate the fallacy of thinking that since X has never happened, it can never happen. It never happened, until it does.

You could have made this thread in 2006 saying no team had won the Super Bowl with QB taking up more than 10% of the cap. 10% is the magic number. Can't go over that. It's never been done. You would have been 100% right. But then the 2007 Giants won the Super with Eli at 10.75% of their cap.

Okay, fine, you make the thread the following year and say no team has ever won the Super Bowl with a QB taking up more than 11% of the cap. 11% is the magic number. Can't go over that and expect to win. You're absolutely right... until 2011 when the Giants (again oddly enough) win with Eli at 11.71% of their cap.

Fine, 12%. 12% must be the magic number. Can't go over 12% and expect to win. Looks great until 2020 when Tampa comes along and wins with 12.6% of their cap. 

But now, you're convinced 12.6% is the magic number. Can't go over that. Nope. No way...

Specifically on Watson, this is missing a couple things. You have to take out the signing bonus money from his current cap figures--since Houston already paid those amounts at singing they will eat them as dead cap this year once he's traded.

So for 2022, the percentage would be 16.8% (35m/208.2m).

Additionally, one of the benefits of trading for a QB and having the original team eat the singing bonuses is that you now have room to easily restructure, accelerate base salary into new bonuses, and get immediate cap relief and flatten out the cap hits each year.

Honestly his contract is a benefit of any deal when weighed against the level of QB play you should be getting.

I pretty clearly stated that already.

LOL

 

How you noticed its mostly the noobs that are digging their feet in for watson?  Any reasonable fan can look at this coaching staff, look at the front office and more importantly look at this roster and realize that trading for watson with the rumored what we have to give up is just going to torpedo this team for God knows how long.

The future of the NFL is winning with a super talented rookie deal QB, or a game manager with good FA around him.

Rogers, Mahomes, Dak; their teams are not getting back

I thought it was building solid teams, then bringing in a great veteran near the end of his career to take that team to the next level (Stafford, Brady at Tampa, Manning).

Fwiw, I don't think there is any one way.  But your way would probably work, if we hadn't screwed up the qb situation so much.

How many QBs a year are taking up more than 12.6% of the salary cap space?

This is the problem I always have when this "evidence" is brought up.  There can only be 1 Super Bowl winner a year.  If there are only 2-3 QBs in any given year taking up 12.6% of the salary cap, then this "evidence" means nothing other that it is just statistically unlikely for any 1 QB in a group of 3 to win what is essentially a one-and-done tournament.  The same as how no MVP has won the Super Bowl since Kurt Warner.  It does not mean MVPs can't win Super Bowls, it just means it is statistically unlikely for 1 QB in a group of 32 to win a tournament for 1 champion

Correlation /=/ Causation

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
