This is the owners fault. Where does it say they have to cave to the agents demands? It isn't written anywhere. The owners created this mess. They made that bed, now they get to lie in it.
I don't disagree again. given the rules change to make it more pass friendly, to see more scores, to attract more fans, it emphasized the QB position. in parallel seemingly the college QBs have changed to more of a dual threats, which doesn't often bode well for longevity in NFL. and the limited QB market, you either have to have an elite QB, which about 2, or at best 3 teams do. or have the next tier of QBs that are good. and if you don't have one, you have no chance, so those are teams that are rebuilding. at the end of the day for most, its not about winning only, its about sales, revenue, market. Jerry is the best at it. others do a good job. so yeah, owners mess. but can't deny the money they are making.
also, they put a cap in place, for a way to police themselves. but its cutting money from all others.
