Absolutely. It’s a business. The money generated by the players either goes to the people doing the work or it goes to billionaires.

So your saying a practice squad Jobber earns as much as the star?

Nope. In America we have this thing where you do a job. Some people do their job better than others and get paid respectively for it.

Actually your an idiot and can’t comprehend the point.

The difference is value. Should I get paid yes. Am I worth million no.
Is every ball player worth’s butt ton of money , no.


Should U be paid to wash dishes? Sure. Are you worth 25 an hour. No
Simply your opinion. Incorrect as it is, but don't be butthurt because you posted a worthless thread

The first big contract, get all you can. If you’re a QB on your third or fourth contract, maybe take a little less to at least make it look like you care about winning

Nice comeback. Considering I asked a question.

It’s not really a a statement. You just keep failing

The dishwasher analogy is a good one. Should a dishwasher or busboy at your favorite restaurant get a guaranteed salary (even at a lower number) like the executive chef? Obviously not. Even though the wage scale is different, the dishwasher can be replaced with anybody. The chef can't.
We saw some signings of ILB's this off season that are confounding. Guys that although have some potential getting paid well above the likes of Kuechly and Wagner even though these guys haven't really done anything or coming off big injuries. Makes no sense.
Hence my point

You are still about confusing that it's harder to find qua QBs, DEs, and OTs than it is to find Cs. If each draft only produced 3 to 5 NFL Centers they'd go high in. Likewise if the draft provided more NFL QBs they wouldn't dominate the 1st rd.

Teams find centers and they stick around for 10+ years. Teams roll the dice on QBs and pray they work out

Draft = Supply and Demand.

He never will. You are wasting your time trying to explain it to him.

No to this. I have no issue with a #1 QB or DL player getting max money. The #5 or #6 WR shouldn't get max money though.

I totally agree with you supply and demand. Centers just don’t need to be elite athletes like all the other positions on the field.
QB is the most important position that’s why they get drafted high. You find a good one and you’re set for at least a dozen years. If Centers had huge impact on the game they’d go high... but they don’t.
Over the last 50 years every single position has gone in the top 5. Every single one even TEs, Guards, RBs even FB. Every single position... 500 picks and not one Center.

That’s not what I was saying because no one thinks a FB or ST gunners should get 30 million a year like a QB. I was responding to the title. I thought he was asking if all players should try and get as much as they can. I don’t understand why he would even ask the question if he meant should all players get outrageous deals like Seattle’s QB. Why would anyone think that?
