Have we heard enough about the Patriots??

goes with the territory.
Seattle fans were large and in charge around here a couple of seasons ago.

And that was after only being 1 and done....

Option 3. The team is the class of the league, don't mind hearing about them.

they are in a class by themselves that is for sure and also the best of all time in that class .

I disagree.
The Pats are special in this salary cap era...no question.
BUT, the best teams all time came from before the cap era.
1970's Pittsburgh, 1980's Niners & 1990's Cowboys were better teams IMO top to bottom

it is free agency not salary cap that changed football . most any pros make more money off the court or grass doing ads or engagements and a way around salary cap issues . do you think manning made more playing football or off the field ? same with tb and other top fa . look do I take small money and play for a winner or go play for the browns for more money ?

And if they're going to throw around terms like 'best of all time' then pre-SB dynasty teams like the Browns, Packers, Bears and others I'm probably forgetting enter the picture as well. Before anyone points it out, I am aware that the 60's Packers started before the SB era and continued into the early SB era.

Disagree. They both have a major impact on the NFL and how teams are built and managed.

I'm not a fan of free agency, but I've never wanted to kill one.

The cap on the other hand.....

True the 70's Steeler's and the 80's 49ers were so packed full of studs that stayed on the same team, while the Pats have 1-2 Superstars and then a lot of real good-good players

The owners' of small market teams will never approve killing the cap. The cat is out of the bag and they'll never go back now.
