jbooma Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 We have had the 3 best superbowls within the last 4 years st louis vs tenn st louis vs ne ne vs car and the last 11 years there have been 11 different losers, which is better then having the bills or broncos lose every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie 14 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yes, but it could be better if salary cap was more conditioned. What I mean is that to guarantee more continuity of a team roster, the players that you drafted, developed and wish to keep, a team should be given more flexibility on this respect. For example, a # of exemptions or that they only counted a half of their salary against the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The super bowls now are a lot better than the Redskins/49ers/Cowboys vs. Bill/Broncos blowouts we had just about every year. It does make you sad though when you realize if there weren't a salary cap, Danny would be football's version of George Steinbrenner and make the Redskins a powerhouse, year in and year out.

earl Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 nfl parady is brilliant. no other professional sport has this kinda of unpredictability. the best team in the NFL, seldom wins the superbowl, it's the hottest team in Dec. and Jan. it like the commercial, it's either "drama" or "change the channel". the NFL drama is rivaled only by march madness, because both are win or go home. and now that the superbowl is over, every city is undefeated again. and more then likely if the trend proves to be true, there will be a sleeper team making a good run for the superbowl again (5-11 redskins).

Well, technically the Patriots were the best team this year. Best record in the whole NFL, homefield throughout playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, a # of exemptions or that they only counted a half of their salary against the cap. Totally agree. We need a version of the NBA's "Larry Bird Rule" where the player's original team is allowed to exceed that players salary by a certain percentage. "If a player goes three years without leaving his team as a free agent, he gets Bird rights, allowing his current team to sign him for any amount. The contract that Tim Duncan is prepared to sign with the Spurs, for example, will be seven years starting at a maximum 30 percent of the salary cap, with 12.5 percent raises each year. A player without Bird rights--one who leaves his team to sign a free-agent contract--signs under different rules, with a maximum of six years and 10 percent raises." My proposal would be to allow the team that drafts a player to pay him what they want, to make them lifetime players. However, if they do this, they would count against the salary as a "Franchised Player" does, i.e. average of top 5 at that position. Would this work??
