But both veterans had years to prove themselves, so they’ll have to yield to what the market will bear. I do not believe Mayfield or Allen would be ready to start right away, but that’s the risk a club might take. I do not wish to return to the days of unproven rookie QBs getting huge deals.

Or all those WR busts in DET, or Leaf, or Russell, or, or… iirc all those busts were the reason the rookie cap was first talked about, and then invented. Unproven rookie players got more money back in those days then proven vets who were just short of arthritic joints and knee replacements…
