Except that their has been 2? Super Bowl winning QB drafted in the 1st round since the cap - Maholmes and Flacco
And I don’t think anyone thinks the Ravens won because Flacco was on a rookie contract (although it sunk the franchise when they had to pay him- he’s was a mid 1st who wouldn’t had gotten a crazy deal in the old structure )
It helps compete for sure - but it hasn’t translated into superbowls.
