It's a mult-billion dollar industry and there are at best about 20 people on the planet who can play qb at a high level.

If you and I were in a line of work that was that challenging and good performers were that rare we would get that kind of money too.

Given that I tend to check my "contract spite" at the door when it comes to NFL players.


....

IMO, Oldschool was doing some math and playing with the numbers, which really illuminates just how much money that is. I read zero "contract spite" in his post.
