Well guess what, for the next decade the best QB in the NFL will be Patrick Mahomes and his salary will always be proportional to the cap. So the race to the top should damn sure end because that question is decided.

It could get a little more hairy at other positions because the question isn't as clearly decided. But at QB it's usually not terribly difficult to rank order guys or at least put them in similarly situated tiers.

It could really prevent shit like Goff being the highest paid guy in the league. There would NEVER an argument for it.

Have you seen the increase in the expected % for a tip? (I am old) Back in my day 10% was considered the norm. Now, that is considered low. I have mentioned this to others but they obviously do not understand percentages when they respond that we should tip more because things cost more.
