so paying one $200 MM with $150 MM guaranteed is ok? at some point the market has to top out...Once you start paying hundreds of millions of dollars for franchise QBs the rest of the players salaries will explode as well, then what, a salary cap of $5 BN?

Market and revenue dictates the salary and nobody makes that money now.

If the market and revenue don't hold up then the contracts will readjust accordingly.. there once was a time top picks in the draft were getting 76 million dollar contracts before they ever played a down in the league..it wasn't sustainable so the league forced the players union to renegotiate..same thing will happen again if the current contracts become a problem.

The salary cap doesn't change the fact that you need a franchise QB to have the best chance to win in this league consistently year in and year out. Yes they're exceptions to every rule, but you don't consistently stand a chance in hell without one.
