We can't keep sending Brissett out there if he's not getting the job done. It will ruin a team which, with even an average QB, should still be a contender. Yet, if we paid him the big bucks you are advocating, it would be very, very difficult to make a change because the existing regime would need to justify their decision or be branded incompetent. I just don't think Brissett has enough of a track record to merit the kind of money you are suggesting he should be paid, and to me it could disastrous to do something like that.
As far as a different QB, it's true we probably can't get a Pro Bowl QB outside of the draft, but we could get a competent one with a solid track record. And I disagree that they wouldn't be worth the money. Nearly every competent QB is underpaid, when you consider the outsized influence the QB position has on the outcome of games.
