Hypothetically - a quarterback never misses a pass. Goes 35/35 for 600 yards and 5 touchdowns each game. What would their salary look like?

League minimum, because similar talent is available at the end of the draft.
Also this math isn’t mathing. They travel the entire length of the field 6 times and only get 5 TDs out of it? Unless the coach is absolutely braindead and runs the ball for no reason, or the offense starts on their 1 every drive, there’d be a minimum of like 7 or 8 passing TDs inside of 600 yards. When the Dolphins got 10 TDs against us, that was on 726 yards
Rest of the offense could theoretically commit so many penalties that this is possible
2/3rds of the salary cap. You get 600 yards of offense and 5 touchdowns every game. You can dump 20ish % into the defense and use the rest on league minimum offense.
It would be an absolute bidding war in the NFL for her services, but I’d guess she’d make 2/3rds of the cap.
She’s muh queen
Not enough
Never misses a pass as in it’s always accurate? Or his receivers never drop a pass? If it’s the latter you could just hail merry it every play. Everyone else on the team could be a minimum contract and he would get everything else
Does the team need worthwhile WRs at all in order to sustain this pace, or is he converting with UDFAs out there? Does he need an OL at all? If you’re putting up 35+ points every single game, how you look at team building changes.
Tree fiddy
Probably like 50% more than Mahomes is currently? Really though, Football’s too much of a team game for it to be any more than that. The Perfect Quarterback can get the ball in the perfect place for someone to catch but they still need that person to catch it, and the worse the receivers are the less separation they’re gonna have and the harder those catches are gonna be.
In reality the perfect quarterback goes 20/20 for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns each game and rushes for an extra 100 yards and 2 more touchdowns. A Lamar Jackson+ who never gets hurt? That’s fucking nice. Still though, not getting paid more than what I said above just because the game falls apart if your supporting cast can’t do the basics.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Is it guaranteed that this happens every single game, no matter what?
Hypothetically if he scored 5 touchdowns guaranteed every game you would just need to have 10 guys on 4-7 round rookie contracts on offense and field a defense that gives up less than 35 a game. And the QB takes the rest of the cap
You can do Vet min o line and WRs and RBs. So yeah half the cap atleast. Honestly whatever he asks for.
He’s gonna get kidnapped by the CIA by week 6
total salary cap less the minimum salary for the rest of the roster
If the QB never misses a pass couldn’t the team just run a Hail Mary every time and score a TD?
