I don't like where the NFL is going.

This league is all about the money now. I don't like all the rules saving QBs and Kickers. I'm not saying they should be pounded on after they throw the ball, just hold them to the same standard as the other players. To many times I see a good 3 and out and the punter get a little freaking touch and the refs are all over it. Also it seems the refs will give the bigger franchises the benefit of the doubt. All these rule changes happen when a quarter back like Tom Brady misses a year. What happened when Carolina missed Jake for about 2 seasons?

Also now I hear next year there will be no salary cap. This devastates me. I don't want to watch the NFL turn into the MLB.

In 20 years we will see the same 4 dominate teams in two hand touch football.

I hear ya, its getting disgusting with all this QB protection, BS pass interference. It's just about air it out offense.

I could easily see not giving a sh*t about the NFL in 3yrs or so if this continues, I use to be a hardcore baseball fan & I just got fed up with all the roids & no salary cap BS.

For sure I could see just saying F*ck it to the nfl as well.

Oh yea don't get me started on pass interference calls. I'd like to see how far a team can go in the season with the QB in shotgun and having 5 WR running verticals. Just hail mary the bad boy. Don't bother punting just throw a bomb you'll be in the red zone 80% of your drives.

Don't worry about defense. Just sign (or draft) a lot of offensive players and let the refs do the rest.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
