Maybe a QB cap within the cap. Something like "only" 20% of annual cap can go to QBs
It's a good thought, but that doesn't work because any halfway decent QB would be making the max. You'd have Mahomes and guys like Kirk Cousins making the same money. The players union would NEVER go for that.
And the thought about QBs just taking less so that the team can pay more players... also a good thought, but it falls apart as soon as the team doesn't use the "savings" wisely. Might as well make the QB part GM so that he can dictate where the extra money goes in that scenario.
The fact remains that there are a few teams out there that have not had a legit franchise QB in 2+ decades... if you are a top 15 QB you are going to get paid!
