The brilliant aspect of the NFL is that it allows teams like Green Bay, Cleveland, or New Orleans the ability to build powerhouses just like the big markets. Other sports don't have that. So it's truly a fair league in that regard.
Cleveland is a powerhouse? lol
The owners need to implement salary limits on positions. Players don't like it? So what. Just ride them out. Most of these players can't rub two brain cells together; what else are they going to do?
This is dumb and would probably be seen as racist by some. "Oh, all the QB's most of whom are white, get most of the money, while everyone else gets scraps"? Also, players union wouldn't even entertain this.
The NFL is bigger than the players. They need to use that leverage.
MLB is bigger than the players yet they get paid.
The NFL needs to be more like the MLB when it comes to players. A good balance between owners and labor.
The NBA is wayyy to player run. Its ALL about the players. No one cares about the teams anymore, its just about how many superstars can we fit on one team now.
The NFL is the exact opposite. The players have zero power and ownership reigns supreme.
NBA coaches now have ZERO power. They are literally no more prominent than the ball boys. Players coach the teams now.
I wouldnt go that far. I mean yea there are player coaches, but there isnt a player in the history of the NBA that has had as much influence on his team as Peyton Manning in his prime. Colts didnt even need an offensive coordinator.
Do we want that to happen to the NFL, too? If quarterbacks are making $75 million a year, they'll make the decisions, not he coaches.
