Yup the only way you give QBs those huge deals is if they can elevate WRs like Mahomes does and like Rodgers and Manning did in the past.
If you don’t have that kind of guy - and honestly there are only two guys I would firmly say are that level currently in the NFL in Mahomes and Allen - then I’m paying my QB around $30-40 million a year (which is 12-16% of the cap in a given year) and loading up around them.
Why do people think Brady’s teams won all of those SBs? He was taking contracts that would usually be given to the 5th-15th best QB in the league and the Patriots were loading up their roster.
There is nothing you can buy earning $50 million a year that you can’t also buy from $40 million a year. Hell if you’re a winner you can more than make it up in endorsements/other business ventures.

Mahomes is in a class of his own. If Allen is up there Burrow should be as well.

That salary gets you Baker Mayfield and Derek Carr. You can “load up” all you want you’re not winning a SB with those guys
short of some super outlier like the 2000 Ravens D or something. QB/LT/Edge Rusher/CB pay those pay those fill in the rest, please note fill in does not mean league minimum or rookies. You need some other OL and on DE, 1 skill guy be it a WR or Elite TE like Kelce/Gronk
