Oh, there is no doubt where this current strategy is headed. I maintain that long term, this business model will not work. And I’m specifically speaking about the owners ability to control their costs. Which is right behind winning for most owners in terms of importance. there just aren’t enough really good QBs that can carry a team around to support this model. In fact, I bet we start to see a shift in the next couple of years. We may already be seeing signs of the young, relatively cheap (owners love both of those things) QBs showing signs of early sucess. These such teams need to be studied to see what they have done differently to prepare their teams for their eventual shot at a good, young prospect. Because, it’s becoming clear that just paying one position and hoping you got the right one, is proving to be both expensive and losing. Something owners abhor.The cost to do business in the NFL these days:
