HIGHEST Paid players by position--WOW.

[Lumps]

I get what you're saying Fiz. Bottom line, companies have to learn to be good at their job, more like close to perfect to be successful. Choosing a bust is simply a display of incompetence for that team and that incompetence should cost them. I agree to some extent but there are many negative and positives to both and if you can't see them you're just spewing extremist bias poo, like only asking a republican about politics or only a Christian about religion. This can confuse poeple or not whether you can see the bigger picture , and that is is more simply that what the NFL is doing is taking one's faults instead of the other while benefiting form its gains. Each kind market will have it's positives and negatives, they are both competitive.

The cap is not that bad. Rookies can still make plenty of money, contracts can be shorter too etc. It's all going to be ok, the league will still be competitive without a free market and Cam will still try to play to his potential whether it be for 50 million or half that, I promise. :)

Only the Skins would make DeAngelo Hall the highest paid CB in the NFL, LOL

The difference is in the real world most people are at-will employees or sign 1 year contracts. If they don't produce, you can replace them. In the NFL, you get stuck with them and their cap space for years like Russell.

Whenever teams don't want the #1 pick overall and try and trade it away every year, that should tell you the system isn't working. I remember hearing a stat last year during the draft that only 75% of 1st round picks become starters. We aren't talking about elite status, just starters. Herein lies the problem.

Name me a player more vital to the Panthers' success this year than Cam Newton?

your first point is wrong and your second is irrelevant.

his third point is invisible.

[carolinarolls]

seriously guys, the only argument for a rookie salary cap is "holy poo look how much money this guy is making!"

Making it the best one.

You didn't even respond to my main point, but just state that it is wrong. The NFL isn't like the real world because in the real world if you don't perform you get fired. In the NFL, if you get fired you still have to pay on the contract. In the real world people out of college aren't getting paid CEO money for 4 years. :rolleyes:

this is in fact the real world. Unlike you, someone who might make middle management some day if you blow enough people to overcome how mediocre you are, cam newton is worth a poo ton of money. Like, more than you can conceive. There's about 20 people in the world that can do what he can do.

Let's go back to your hypothetical real world. Let's imagine you can do something only a handful of people can do. You can't, of course, there's nothing remarkable about you.

How much would you get paid for that skill? Additionally, would you consider it the real world if you didn't get to choose who you worked for? Or there was a maximum of what you could get paid?

I didn't respond to that because it's senseless. Not only does what happens in pee wee football have nothing at all to do with the NFL, but you're dumb as poo if you think a number one pick making 30 million v 70 million would stop hypothetical hanger ons or whatever no sense you're afraid of.

I mean I can't even count the times the mere performance of my job duties has made my employer millions.

I'm pretty sure he was traded from the Raiders with that contract
