patriotsheatyan Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Note: I think this wouldn’t be good for the NFL and the NFL doesn’t really need more parity. This is just food for thought. Alllow teams to begin making trades in December and January. Bad teams would be able to get absolutely lopsided value trading away good players for what amounts to a one month rental. There would be teams that effectively mortgage their future to rent a few players for a month to get over the hump. Older players who can still play and aren’t in a bad teams long term plans could actually fetch good value they could not any other point in time. The result being, good teams get worse the next season and bad teams get better. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gut feeling is it would hurt parity. Smart FOs would have the tables tilted even more heavily in their favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'm not convinced this would increase parity. Nor do I like the idea of a 10-6 team mortgaging an entire draft to buy talent to make a deeper playoff push. Additionally, the likelihood of a player being plugged onto a team in December and having a meaningful grasp of the playbook quickly enough to make a signficant impact within a few weeks is probably not super likely, although we certainly see exceptions to that.

biletnikoff Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The Easiest Way Would Be league letting games play out naturally and not manipulating the outcome,based on money and tv ratings. But that will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I mean .... 2012 - #2 pick 2013 - #3 pick 2014 - #3 pick 2015 - #5 pick 2016 - #4 pick 2017 - AFC Championship (and tbd) Parity seems to be alive and well imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 End of the day stupid owners are going to hire stupid GMs who draft and sign bad players to bad contracts and hire stupid coaches who hire stupid assistants. And good organizations are going to do the opposite. No matter how much you try to idiot proof the league for the bad organizations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I'd argue there is plenty of parity in the NFL. Outside of the Pats always being great and the Browns always being bad all the other teams seem to rise and fall in a normal sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Dude, the Jags are in the AFCCG after picking too 5 last year. There’s plenty of parity. Obvious steps can be taken at certain points to keep things fair, but at the end of the day, there are good owners and bad owners. Good owners, GMs, and coaches will continually make good decisions whether the rules favor them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also using a cliche term you've already been triggered to hear as a negative. It's telling you to not try and think for yourself..and you too easily follow it's direction. The truth is..the more you question things,the more intelligent you are. Look up the definition of conspiracy. .it' not some rare occurrence. It' how the world is run.

There is no parity till 10 completely different teams win the Super bowl for the next 10 years and at least half those teams are teams you never consider annually. So what if different teams MAKE the playoffs.? Until they advance to SB and win it,there is no parity. The only team to really break the parity barrier has been Seattle.

Jakuvious Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I'm with @cddolphin here. Encouraging bad teams to make more trades with good teams is not going to help the bad teams out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
