If you have an organization that is strong enough to make the playoffs almost every year, you need a QB whose ceiling is high enough to go on a hot streak and win it all (e.g. Flacco or Eli). If you have an organization that is pretty much riding on one QB's spectacular play to carry the team, (Peyton, Rodgers, Brees, maybe Brady) then yeah, you can't tie up $20 million+ on the Joe Flacco's of the world. It's two different ways of building a team.
