Do you ever wonder if all the Parity in the NFL is just because players have changed so much over the last 10 years. i read the Peter King article about the Cutler trade. And Jerry Angelo, the Bear's GM said, "it's so hard to know about the draft now. A while back a top ten pick was the holy grail. now you don't know. These kids come out younger, less developed for more money. You can't tell if their drive is there or not."
In some ways, i wonder if the parity is simply because teams have a harder time now on picking playeres because the salaries have really skewed the players mindset. Now you don't know if you are paying someone and they'll just leave the game as a secondary endevour or if they are the real deal. And parity is just a result of chaos around the league.
I think "Parity" praise that the NFL uses may not totally be by design but instead just a byproduct of escalating salaries.
I was just thinking outloud. If that makes sense and you have an opinion one way or the other, put it out there.
