One of the more ridiculous arguments to come out of the most recent NFL/NFLPA CBA is the idea that a team with a young quarterback has some sort of magical window during which time the team is uniquely poised to win the Super Bowl. Armchair GMs harrumph about cap hits and percentages, and they speculate about how locking a player up at a particular percentage of the cap performs contract alchemy, turning a lead roster into a set of gold jackets.
Interestingly, the quarterbacks to appear in the Super Bowl since the CBA do little to support this argument.
