Seriously, split back into the NFL/AFL

Now no monopoly legally. The owners of the TWO leagues can just vie over college athletes as they come out of school, Screws us with no draft though. But then each league could negotiate out TV contracts and now implement labor laws the way the rest of us have with limits on each position. No more anti trust bull poo.

I like the idea personally. Most likely there would still be some kind of regular season games between the 2 (something along the lines of 3-4 games) it would also allow the individual leagues to go up to 20 teams each. 1 of the new teams must come from another country. 1 of which should definitely be Mexico City the other would probably have to be in America maybe a Canadian City.

The only problem with the idea is the Salary Cap issue. I think what has made the NFL so popular is the unpredictability of it. I mean one year a team could go 7-9 and miss the playoffs the next they could win the SB. If the league did split I don't see how they could have one unless it was only in name two different leagues. That would be collusion I would think.

Either way its not going to happen.

This is how they run soccer all over the world and it works for that sport but I think soccer is a lot larger internationally. If you split the leagues I think you would water down the talent level. I like watching Peyton Manning v. Tom Brady. If your scenario played out these types of match-ups would never happen.

Bull poo. The game would be better with twice the games played on Sunday or whenever

why exactly would there be twice the games played??

hell, a lot of people who have said this could happen have said it would lead to constriction because the smaller market teams would no longer get the same amount of revenue from revenue sharing, causing them to go belly up in a system where you NEED to spend more to be competitive.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
