This makes a lot of sense as investing so much in one player has to limit the resources to acquire and maintain the other players needed.  With all the massive QB contracts being signed it will be something to watch going forward.  Green Bay has already had to let Adams walk.  Kansas City has 50% of their cap tied up in their top 4 players. (65% if you add 2 more)  Yea I know there are ways to "manufacture" space by adding void years, but that really sounds like a high risk alternative if not used prudently.  Are there any front line Saints without void years?? LOL 

This is something I will be watching with interest this year.

What do you guys think?

So I've always wanted a stat like this, but I'm a bit wary on limiting it to Super Bowl winners given the nature of Super Bowls being 1 game and how random variables can affect 1 game. As a result, the power and sampling error can affect such a stat especially when you limit it this to era of football because QB's in the 90's or 00's is asked to do very different things than ones in today's NFL.

I would be interested if the search was widened to as at least Super Bowl appearances, or even Conference Games and see if that alters the target cap percentage number, or even a 95 range/CI with number of outliers.
