He's dead, so barring a zombie apocalypse, we don't have to worry about that.Paul Allan owner of the Seahawks is worth over 20 billion. Do we want Seahawks dominance over the league ?

I doubt if that happens. the NFL wanted parity and that's exactly what they got with the salary cap. they also don't want out of control spending by a few.. what they might do is create some kind of salary exemption for QB position. not sure what it would be like, perhaps, regardless of cost put a percentage total against the cap for your QB salary regardless of the amount, so if its over that percentage, it won't count. its a QB driven league. they are the stars of the show.With today's QBs making $120 million plus, teams can't afford to surround their stars with talent. These billionaires will have to go back to the old days and outselling your opponent. Lucky for us....our owner is a master.
It wasn't. Attendance was down.O don't think that the fact that small market yes being able to win helps get more viewers at all. I actually think it's the opposite. The game was never more popular than when U had big dogs ruling. I also think viewership of playoffs and superbowl show this to be true. I didn't even see the last two superbowls till later and missed parts of some others. Especially when teams get hosed by referees or GOODELL. what we have is a league of owners motivated by everything but fair play and loyalty.
Resigning all drafted players with some form of cap reduction would help teams that draft well and maybe rekindle fan loyalty

This assumes he has the deepest pockets in the league and he doesn't. CAR, LAR and MIA have richer owners and are not as dependent on their franchise for their wealth. If the cap was to go away, the Cowboys would be stretched to compete and any owner dependent on his franchise for his wealth would have to be spending beyond the current profit level and might even see his franchise decline in value.With today's QBs making $120 million plus, teams can't afford to surround their stars with talent.

I feel like that can take away from a movie by trying to compare one to the other. Instead I judge based on how that actor performs his version of the role. Makes for a much better viewing, in my opinion.I support actors trying to fill big shoes, but Will Smith (as much as I respect him) ain't no Robin Williams.
Especially on a coke bender.
Yep, the teams most likely to overpay in FA would just do more of that and right now the NFLPA knows the existence of the cap, and requirement to meet a % of that over a 3 year running total, keeps the playing field even for the players. No cap and no requirement of how much should be designated for player salaries and they know they are vulnerable to an owner like Bidwell, the reason for that minimum.The rules won't change, ergo having a sharp GM is imperative. Just recently look at the job done by Dorsey (browns), rosenhaus (eagles), our own Stephen (ad hoc gm) rams, etc. Then look at bucs, jets, giants, etc.
Everything has a ceiling and a breaking point. The NFL will hit theirs and then they'll wonder what to do with those QB salaries.It has/does intrigue me to watch inflation in the NFL. I always joke that in 20 years quarterbacks will be getting 5 year/500 million dollar contracts! The race to be the first billion dollar player! lol
And all they need for proof is the QB spending.The cap exists because the owners don't trust each other to limit spending
