Guys,
First of all this post is not about Bradford. This post is about the evolution of the game we love.
Kap challenged the system last year. Wilson broke it this year.
I'm going to make the prediction now that there will be no more $100 million dollar contracts signed by "traditional" drop back QBs. When I say traditional, I mean guys that can't run for yardage on a consistent basis or extend plays with their feet.
I think there will be no more Manning's or Brady's in the modern era of football. We saw what happened to Matt Ryan when is Elite WR corps went down and he had to play with 'pedestrian' WRs - was not pretty.
This is NOT a white vs. black thing. It's an athlete thing.
I present two pieces of evidence, which you are free to criticize.
1. I'm sighting the video below as an example of the kind of conversations that are going on today behind closed doors (i.e., as GM's are looking at QB's);

2. Follow the money.
The Whiners and the Seacocks were heads and tails the best two teams this year. The real superbowl was the NFC championship game. Both these teams are build on "cheap" QBs and solid rosters, especially on the defensive sides.
These two teams have established a template for how the league will progress.
Anyway, I apologize in advance if this ruffles feathers. However, for some of you, this might seem extremely obvious...
