The NFL is all about value. I have to get the value of the amount I'm paying you, otherwise, I'm behind the 8 ball.
It's why draft picks are such valuable commodities, because of the cost/benefit situation.
Once you start paying big money for guys, the chances of them playing to that level are just not as high.
There's a reason the 2022 Chiefs were the first team to win a SB paying a QB 20% of the cap. It's really ****ing hard to do and we saw what it took him playing like for it to happen.
Is it unfair to ask the guy to be in "god mode" all the time for them to win? Sure. But that's what they're paying him for. When he doesn't do it, they just aren't gonna be at that level.
