And honestly, its not even a smart allocation of resources because a guy like Garappolo can throw to a premier WR corps and put up points - a great QB doesn't do a TON to make those guys better. They're going to be marginally more productive than they'd be with an average QB under center. And when having those guys prevents you from putting an OL in front of your QB, they can't even be THAT productive.
The Chiefs are doing it right.

I've kinda thought about this recently. Any money allocated, is robbing Peter to pay Paul. More of one is less of another so you get into "what can I make up for and what do I need to pay for".
We've talked about this ad nauseum but this current group has Mahomes and Andy. Fair or not, Pat takes a big chunk of the cap so he's gonna have to make some chicken salad somewhere. They've chose to do that at WR more than on the OL.
