@JojoTheWhale new exercise. And one I can't quantify.

What does Sammy Baugh get paid today, if he had just had his 1947 season?

Edit: ahhhh checking back, I mean 1943. Or for maximum chaos, 1945

Trick question. It’s just the normal top of the QB scale at the time of signing deal. No one is letting their 50+ MM AAV QB take extra snaps where they can be hit.

But let’s keep it 1947 so that he also gets exactly one station wagon per year.

This was where I arrived. If you pay him what he's worth on both sides of the ball, he's now too valuable to play on both sides of the ball. And he can't punt any more either, you're doomed if a blocker "accidentally" takes out his leg on a punt.

He'd have to be underpaid to get maximum utility. McDavid style.

That statement doesn't exactly kill the rumour now does it. Not that I'd expect them to ever give a detailed account of the situation.
But it must be lingering on war crimes given the franchise in question.

I'm dying over here laughing if it's true

But this rumor is obviously an easy one to generate...I mean I've heard it for years with Lindros & Brind'amour...Carter and Hartnell...

And *if* it is true...boy what a time to stand up for what's right, Blackhawks.
