Things I think I know

QB:
Goff went from bust, to system QB, to where he is now, where it seems 50/50 between "still a system guy" and "elite". No matter where you place him, it is clear the Rams are going to have some big decisions to make in few years. We've seen it before, in this era of the new rookie deals QBs (why couldn't be a year earlier? yeah SB, good for you). Seahawks tried their best to deal with this a few years back, before Wilson's new deal, and chose to go all-in on him. What will we do? It's pretty clear to me that McVay is a superstar OC/HC. I think this is the one thing about which nobody can argue (even Ram haters). So, who's to say we wouldn't be better off with a QB a tier below Goff that could succeed in McVay's system and use that money to keep the team competitive for its first decade in their new digs?

QB continued:
I have a solution for the QB dilemma. Since the QB is such a unique position, and the NFL even has a suite of special rules around protecting these guys, why not take the QB salaries off the cap? The QB could be like the NBA/MLB of NFL with either no cap or luxury cap driven. The rookie deal and everything else could remain the same, just after the first deal, it comes off the books, so to speak. Problem solved.

Go Rams. Rams 63, Chiefs 49.

No, that couldn’t happen since the exclusion would only apply to starting QBs.

And I have no issue with owners spending more on players, though I’m sure in negotiations that the net wouldn’t me massively different.

It's an interesting idea.
I don't see it going anywhere.
The one sure side effect would be a massive pay increase for marginal guys.
That always seems to be the results for QBs....good to work to get.

Well, owners are still going to not want to overpay for marginal guys, but it wouldn't cripple a team for 5 years if their rookie franchise QB doesn't work out.

If anything, I think it would further increase parity.

It would elevate the value of coaching and execution

So close to calling it. My prediction would have been 2nd highest score in NFL history, where the real score was only 3rd. Dang.
