I say just let them use PED's, then we don't have to worry about it. Except it would have to be a completely different league.

To take Kynte's idea in teh direction I think he may have been leaning...If you produce you get paid, if you don't you get the league minimum or what your production has earned you. If you are the worst team in the whole NFL but you have a guy producing 2000 yards rushing and 40 TD's he deserves some cash.

In that type of system you don't have people making millions over several years because they had a good year, they will get paid by how they do. But then you have the argument for people who get injured. Well you know what start a fund for those players, if they are knocked out for good they get a Mil a year. Can't live off a Mil a year...Fuck you! That's ideally how to get parity in the league, because superstars are not going to want to play with other superstars, or them to get their touchdowns. Ahhh if only...

Also fuck Terrell Pryor. He gets one of the greatest coaches fired, and then decides to leave school and enter the draft instead of play and serve out his suspension. Fuck him, Fuck him hard.

That's why the Coach is the Coach and the Starters are the Starters. You earn your spot in Spring Training. Just because the players want to take shot after shot doesn't mean they get too. You fuck up the coaches plan and see what happens.

Spring training doesn't earn anything! The way you play during an exhibition game might be completely different than a game you would play during the playoffs. Your plan would seem to exhaust people out of fear of losing their positions. A team cannot function like that! Also, who is going to oversee how this would play out? The commissioner? A league of officials? How do you interpret whether or not someone played to their absolute fullest ability? Let's say the coach is a retard and doesn't use someone's full potential or has a vendetta against them (happened many times in baseball over the years) and the owners are too pussy to do anything about it, should the player suffer? Or what if the player is moved to another position, where they fail, is that their fault? They didn't make the change. How soon would we hear about players not being happy and demanding a trade?

For the record I'm talking strictly NFL...
Well in spring training that's where cuts are made, players are released, and players fail Physical conditioning tests. You cut down to the 53 man roster, and in my dream world, Everyone has a base salary for making the cut. If you don't play at all you get your base salary. If you play all or just a little bit you get your pay plus pay based upon the stats you produce. It would be a little different for those on the defensive and offensive lines. All I'm saying is motivate these players to play, Just look at Randy Moss, and then on the opposite spectrum look at Arian Foster! One made millions and did ZILCH all year, the other was the Leagues leading rusher and made 500k. This is why I love college ball more then pro. They are playing to showcase their skills and to make it to the pros. Pay the players based on their performance and watch all the heroics that come from the thought of making a Million extra dollars catching the touchdown pass at the end of the game to go to the playoffs.

And frankly I could give a shit if people complain and demand to be traded. I realize they want to make the most money they possibly can in their career, but really they should be thankful for even having the opportunity to make that much money playing football. If you're good, then prove it on the field, don't hod a team hostage until they pay you, so you can halfheartedly play knowing no matter what you got Millions coming. [/rant]
