[QUOTE="rmontro, post: 733328, member: 12340"] First off, the Lions can get by without being in contention for a Super Bowl. They've never won a Super Bowl, and no one expects that of them. Secondly, "the Packers will find a way" isn't very reassuring. They haven't found a way in the past six years. They'd better find some very creative accountants is what they'd better find. One thing I respect about Brady is that he takes less money than he can get, just so the Patriots have more money to spend on the rest of the team. That's why he has five rings. I'm not sure if I can see Rodgers taking less. I mean, I could see it, but until it actually happens we won't know for sure. I get the feeling that Rodgers ego would demand he be paid like the best quarterback in the league. I seem to recall some discussion of quarterback salaries and Super Bowl wins. Steve Young holds the record for the QB who won the Super Bowl who accounted for highest percentage of the cap. Here are some numbers. I'm not sure it's realistic to expect the Packers to win a Super Bowl while paying Rodgers $30 million a year: [B]% of Cap Spent on SB Winning QB[/B] Year Name Cap % 1994 Young 13.1% 1995 Aikman 6.7% 1996 Favre 10.2% 1997 Elway 5.2% 1998 Elway 5.0% 1999 Warner 1.3% 2000 Dilfer 1.6% 2001 Brady 0.47% 2002 Johnson 9.6% 2003 Brady 4.4% 2004 Brady 6.3% 2005 Roethlisberger 4.9% 2006 P. Manning 10.4% 2007 E. Manning 9.2% 2008 Roethlisberger 6.8% 2009 Brees 8.3% 2011 E. Manning 11.7% 2012 Flacco 6.6% 2013 Wilson 0.56% [URL]https://overthecap.com/super-bowl-titles-high-salary-quarterbacks/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
