I think it seems that way, but its not true. NFL teams spend so much time trying to fit player x into hole y that the relative history of player x almost never comes up in the discussion. What does come up are repeatable skills, whether physical or statistical. If a player can repeat a characteristic over and over, I think he gets paid for it. His QB W/L record? No one gives a crap.

Kevin Kolb got $4-6 million annually today. Nothing in Kevin Kolb's past suggest he's worth that much. But you can project him to be worth that since his prime years in terms of age, experience, and skill set are ahead of him. It's not a great deal for the Bills, but they're not "hoping" he can repeat the last two years, as the "you get paid for what you've done" argument would suggest.
