lot of cold water to the Pollyanna's that say never worry about the salary cap

I'd like to see a cap put on premium positions like the QB so teams aren't strong armed into eating up so much cap space that they have to cut corners in other places on the roster. I'd also like a beer fountain and a unicorn that craps pot.

Maybe you overlooked this detail:

The expected $15 mil rise of cap in '15

And the 10m rise this year. When revenues rise the cap rises, pretty simple.

Sounds like everything else that comes out of ownership. We were not supposed to see any increase the last several years.

Each year the cap has exceeded expectations.

You would think at this point that you would have gotten wise to the sky (re:cap) is not falling.
