Arnold has done nothing to be considered an elite QB. He's not even a top 50 player in the portal right now.
Giving him 2 million is crazy.
I would be happy to have him, no doubt. But any hope of him being elite is just that, hope.
When evaluating QBs, you have to take into account the offensive system. Jackson Arnold is a great fit for the Jeff Lebby version of the Briles offense. Quin Ewers is a great fit for what Steve Sarkisian runs. If you traded places with those QBs, they wouldn't be as good of fits in the schemes.
