You mean they should be allowed special consideration in dealing with their labor force?

Other players

LMAO

If you didn't have Manning and Brady, you'd have someone else like Branning and Mady come along. The league is doing alright without Elway and Montana, isn't it?

You realize how hard it is to find a player like 2.7 Larry Johnson much less find a player like Peyton Manning?

You are talking about the normal player turnover vs. a complete purge of rosters.

Entirely different situation.

But then I think you're smart enough to recognize that, and you are only being stupid by choice.

Dude. :shake:

some dumbass shit in this here thread.

Why is college football so popular with all those inferior players?

How would the NFL have survived if John Elway had decided to play baseball instead of playing football? Surely there are other top athletes that choose a different sport over the NFL but somehow we don't notice the absence.

The majority of the current player pool will turn over within a few years anyway. The players are far more replaceable than the owners who have created this league and managed to shepherd it into becoming the top American professional sport.

Once again.

Natural turnover process vs. replacing every player in a singular stroke.

The atmosphere.


Surely you can't be this dumb. Theres a reason less than 10% of college football players go to the NFL.

No, I'm talking about the fact that the current players are more expendable than the owners are.

Of course there's a reason. They aren't as good. But that doesn't mean that the NFL couldn't restock and rebuild easier than the current players could partner with alternative billionaires to build a new league.

And no, atmosphere isn't the only reason college football is popular. It's popular because they play an exciting game despite their inferior players.

I can't believe anyone still argues with patteeu. Its obvious 90% of the time he's out just to yank your chain. I actually agree, the owners own the teams... if they want to start over with new players they have the right to do that. I think you could argue that guys like Casey Printers and Drew Tate aren't going to bring the star power of Brady and Manning... but if that's what the owners want, it's their business.

No. Anyone can 'Own' an NFL franchise. Not many can play football at the level of an NFL player.
