I feel that having the additional players fall into a population that will represent a moderate quality. Maybe no stars, 2-3% elite, 20% good, 60-70% average and the remaining as roster fodder. With this at QB your on point. They need to be competent and fall in to the lower third of the historical class. Not upper tier but moderately capable of helping a roster that has other depth to offset it.

For your point on wages. I have consistently found that no matter how you adjust the CAP after a few seasons the contracts become almost unmanageable. I have had moderately good QB's (and not just QB's) have expectations that were equal to 25+% of the overall CAP for the first year of a multi-year contract. With that I also see other teams chasing the CAP by signing then releasing players due to the CAP constraints. It's almost as if the engine understands the CAP for that year but fails in managing them well in the long run. For me I have found I start to drift away from those elite players while trying to build a roster with better then average players with depth in a few areas. They tend to have more reasonable contract requests then do those superstars.
