NFL discusses QB salary cap

If they were to do this it would benefit us greatly....however from what I've seen most fans are completely opposed to this for the same reason "Ah great so this means teams like the Chiefs will just be better than everyone else for 15 years" then it turned into an NBA max argument and how that sucks..

/Shrug.

I don't see any problem with that.

That would kill any type of parity in the league. Having to pay your elite QB a large amount of your cap is a great equalizer right now.

The issue though is that average QB's are making huge chunks of the salary cap.

Honestly **** em, do it, it helps us and that's really all I care about.

That sounds like a really bad idea for parity purposes. Do it

I suggested this well over a year ago. Good to see other folks thinking similarly.

And if this rule changed, average QBs would be making even more. It would be just like the NBA where above average players get the same max contract as superstar players.

Of course, teams with bad QBs are paying them tons of money anyway. Not sure how much this actually changes things, honestly.

Well, that isn't our problem so...

It would just give the teams with the really high level QB's more money to spend elsewhere...

If they pass this then the league is absolutely screwed.

We will run roughshod for 15 years.

Exactly. Deshaun Watson’s agent has already leaked that they will demand more from Texans than what Mahomes will get in KC. I would imagine Dak Prescott will attempt to squeeze Dallas in the same manner. It’s basically a repeat of when Rodgers’ salary was lower than Carr, Stafford, Cousins, and Jimmy G. Packers must have been chuckling around that time.

Huh? There's a big difference in what Russell Wilson makes or what Mahomes is about to make and what a QB like tannehill is making. Don't know what you mean by paying them a ton.

There are a ton of examples of average QB's who make a ton of money, Garappollo got a huge deal when he'd started like 5 games.

Some idiot team probably Tennessee will pay Tannehill some ludicrous rate like 15 mill a year.

Yup. It's your choice to sign Mitch Trubisky.
