Power to the players. It’s about damn time. 
 

I don’t recall many folks having an issue when Eli’s daddy dictated which teams he would and would not play for. 

Well keep in mind comparing the nfl to the nba is like comparing apples to oranges. NFL has a 53 man roster while the nba like 14. NFL takes around 30 great to decent players to field a competent team. The nba only needs a couple super stars and a few role players to be playoff ready. NBA players can play for years while the average nba career is about 4 years.

I don't get to tell my boss what I think the future of the company should be.  Why are athletes any different?  Just because they are paid millions that means they get to tell their superiors how to run their organizations?  Nope, that's not how business works.  Companies have structural hierarchies for a reason.  The NFL is still a business at its core and the players--'employees' need to understand their role in the organization.  If they want a NFL executive job, retire first and then give it a go.  Don't try to be a player/GM.  Sure that works in Madden, but not in real life.

I absolutely get a say in what my boss does in my business. Not all employees are the same.

So have the defensive guys, and even the special teamers, but we're only going to let the quarterbacks have input?

Wilson now says he wants a say in the roster. No way in hell I'd let him have that. He's not a coach. He's not a talent evaluator. There are people who are qualified to do that. He's not one of them.

As far as a "power shift", that's still largely theoretical at this point. And no, I'm not in favor of it because what inevitably winds up happening in a situation like that is that teams and places like New York and Los Angeles benefit while small market teams like the Panthers get shafted.

Pete Rozelle was a very smart man. He built a system designed to create parity for a reason.

This, 100%.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
