It makes zero sense to compare QB deals that are more than 2 years old (and even that is a stretch) because the cap has exploded.
Brady's deal is literally irrelevant. If he were 30 now and negotiating he'd be looking at $30m per year.
There really is no such thing as this pure scale that measures "what a player is worth" in terms of his intrinsic worth.
I mean obviously better players get bigger deals. Other than that, the market decides.
Now, with Stafford and Carr, qbs are getting 25-27 M. Are they "worth" more than Brady? No...they came up a couple of years after Brady's last deal, and contracts at all positions go up every year because if nothing else the cap goes up every year. That;'s what drives this.
