The point you are attempting to make is moot in the modern salary cap era. What most teams spend on their back-up QB in no way impedes them from making difficult roster decisions elsewhere. 
There's always a way to find a couple million in space. Take a look at current NFL news and all of the restructured contracts getting done right now. It will never come down to the fictional decision you've proposed above.

There is nothing keeping this coaching staff and front office from properly developing Lawrence AND ALSO prioritizing wins the same as they would in any other season. 
Nothing. Whether the back-up is Minshew, Alex Smith, Blake Bortles or Roscoe P. Coltrane.

Got it.  To paraphrase:  there are no trade-offs in building out an NFL roster.  Just do ALL THE THINGS.  Priorities?  Prioritize EVERYTHING.  Done.

Who are you paraphrasing? 

Not me. 

Please find me a coach that doesn't prioritize winning regardless of who is starting at QB. I'll wait. 

While you're at it - find me a front office that will go with their third choice at back-up QB instead of their second choice because "we aren't prioritizing a championship this season."  

LOL
