Depends on what you're paying. Also, the point of the rookie QB contract is to make investments you can't make with a veteran QB contract. Either AR is the answer and we're approaching the end of the financial flexibility his rookie contract provides, or he's not and the Colts will have a new rookie QB contract soon. Either way, now is the time to make what might otherwise not be a prudent cap investment. That said, I doubt the 49ers regret the Warner contract. Warner is better than Baun, but if Baun continues to play at the level he played this year, it's not by much.
