Brady Quinn Says Lack of Parity Is Leading to a Crappy Product in the NFL

[@marlonnicholson8410]

Let's just be real. Unbalanced Offensive and, Defensive rules. Also look at the damn CBA. Less practice, less training camp, less preseason= GARBAGE PRODUCT!

[@hitek9too255]

The NFL is at its worse and weakest its ever been.

[@hitek9too255]

And don't forget all the terrible overpaid QBs.

[@rockjm9876543210]

If you don't have a top qb you can't win. The rules have eliminated diversity and have made everything a copy cat system. To have your hopes all dependent on 1 player is just a recipe for disaster.

[@marlonnicholson8410]

The NFL is slowly becoming the NBA. Handicapping defense to the point 40 point games will be the norm.

[@etherieeetheriee1636]

Exactly. Pretty soon its going to get my nba treatment which ill wait til playoffs

[@jacksmith5562]

The common theme with the bad teams is they have bad owners/organisation!

[@JeffPassageCPA]

The "parity" in the NFL has nothing to do with what is on the field. The NFL owners share equally in the massive TV revenues. The owners make money no matter the product on the field.

[@knowitall3892]

300+ million plus a season for being in the association

[@eriknewton4656]

the nfl has plenty of parity. the problem that's leading to a crappier product is the nfl constantly changing rules that unfairly favor offenses and defenses get penalized for every freaking thing to the point you mine as well not have a defense out on the field. add on top of that that the referees are garbage and inconsistent with callling penalties which leads to the slowing of the game because every play there's a penalty and then suddenly they'll just stop calling stuff they were calling or they won't call stuff all game and then suddenly throw a flag when they shouldn't be. the refs get too damn involved to the point it kills the flow of the game on top of the annoying tv time outs. i want to watch football not goddamn commercials. stop changing rules for the sake of changin them unless the rule change is actually necessary.

[@CBrown]

The problem is QB salaries. The teams that have an QB that is actually worth the money they are paid are actually good (Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City, Philadelphia) and many of the ones who overlaid their QBs are pretty much trash (Jacksonville, Cleveland, New York, Dallas). The ones in between, like the Chargers fill the same box as the trash teams: If you werent paying the QB that much you might be able to afford better defenders, receivers, offensive linemen, etc. But they get trapped by these stupid contracts and end up with guys holding out, leaving, or otherwise missing on free agency. It doesnt help that feelings get in the way of coaching.

[@waterDrinker13]

dak is the highest paid QB and he's not even top 10...thats crazy

[@samuelsandate9804]

Get rid of the salary cap and this wouldn't be an issue.

[@hitek9too255]

Preach!

[@CBrown]

@@samuelsandate9804 It would be even worse because the richest teams would be able to just buy players. Why would I play for Detroit when Jerry Jones can open his wallet and pay me 2-3x as much if he wants to?

[@samuelsandate9804]

​@@CBrown Detroit still can't win or even make a Superbowl, bozo. Bears, Jets, Lions, and more than 50 percent of the league still can't win or dream of winning a Superbowl.

[@willx_1]

If it weren't for concussions being an obvious major concern, an 18-game season with 2 bye weeks was always the league's agenda .

[@tharealcognac]

Is there lack of parity in the NFC west?

[@michaelpeterson3736]

There is parity in the league.The salary cap itself ensures a level of parity. I think the problem is a lack of good coaching and dysfunctional organizations. The Cleveland browns had a super bowl roster for like five seasons and couldn't capitalize.

[@samuelsandate9804]

The salary cap doesn't ensure parity you bozo. Salaries don't mean crap if players don't live up to their contracts, period. Yes, lack of coaching, lack of players developing is a problem and it will always be because that's the nature of the sport. The salary cap doesn't fix that. All sports has good teams, bad teams and midteams. Again is the nature of the sport.

[@BruceBallstench]

My viewership of pro sports is down across the board. I haven’t watched NBA or MLB at all. I used to never miss any NFL game and now I find myself watching the marquee game of the week and that’s about it. The products are all in decline but viewership remains high enough to not change anything. Once more ppl stop showing up/tuning in change can happen

[@hitek9too255]

The NBA and MLB is much better than the NFL which has been absolutely terrible.

[@RJ-qs6nm]

I’ve been saying for a decade they need less games ! Both the nba and nfl need less games. All you do is create meaningless games by increasing the amount. Put the nba regular season at 50 games and the NFL at 14-15 games and every game has a ton on the line. It would never happen because of money, but the games would be way more intense and entertaining

[@JM-le9qq]

The NBA has been a bad product this year too

[@hitek9too255]

The NBA is far better and more competitive than the horrible NFL. MLB is even better than the NFL.

[@Jordyrugby]

NFL is doing just fine. Look at all the other major sports for comparison. NFL will always be king

[@samuelsandate9804]

Fine with what? Fine with that Patriots dynasty? Or now the Chiefs who just went back to back? You're clueless

[@hitek9too255]

The NFL is at it's weakest and worse it's ever been; horrible teams all across the board, bad oline play, overpaid mediocre QBs around the league that hinder building good teams, restricted defenses, lack of fundamentals, too many rule changes that favor offenses, too many flags, lack of practicing, etc.

[@dreamseller7909]

They just wanna complain theres always been bad teams the nfl is great rite now the nba is whats trash

[@allenokosun1102]

Thank you

[@metpach]

​@@allenokosun1102the NBA continually gets beat in the ratings by reruns of duck dynasty and My 600lbs life. Let that sink in.

[@etherieeetheriee1636]

I agree with them on this one fellas. These past few weeks and particularly yesterday is reminding me of nba.

[@hitek9too255]

​@@metpachThe NBA made 13 billion dollars and broke record attendance it previously set the season before. Let that sink in.

[@metpach]

@@hitek9too255 Don't let overall revenue cloud the overall operating cost. You claim they set attendance records, yet every time I watch a game on tv, half the arena is empty. Like when corporate sponsors buys all the seats to a football game but the stadium is empty.

[@nickkorea5850]

what the hell are these guys talking about? When was there a time when 80% of NFL teams were good or great? bad calls and reffing is certainly the biggest issue. Also more fans are starting to see the NFL fix games in favor of Kansas

[@bboyalter4418]

It could be worse, look at the current state of the NBA or even the MLB.

[@samuelsandate9804]

Baseball has more parity than any other sport in the world, bozo. No team baseball has repeated in 20+ years, and over the last 10 years, 9 different teams have won the World Series. Tell me what sport has had that many teams win ?

[@hitek9too255]

The NBA had multiple different Champions the last decade than ever before.

[@samuelsandate9804]

@@hitek9too255 So the Warriors dynasty didn't happen? Did the Warriors not made the NBA Finals for 5 straight years?

[@FuzzyStayBuzzin183]

You know Jonas the same stuff I'll be thinking in my head

[@jctslice]

I don't think it's a lack of parity. I think it's the sense that it feels like you can't play defense anymore on the QB like you used to AND the feeling by many that the NFL may be helping the Chiefs to a degree try to 3peat and crown a new GOAT in Mahomes. We all know that if Mahomes does 3peat, he's the new GOAT & many (especially Brady fans) don't like that one bit. I personally don't care because I love Mahomes and Kansas City, but others are pissed off at these notions

[@williamchilcott2833]

Count me in this notion right here.

[@jasonjanisewski78]

Bart Starr and Otto Graham both had 3 Peats

[@michaelweissmullery4949]

NBA much worse. Recent Hornets game had 75 missed 3s. Can’t plan to see great players because of load management. Most games are unwatchable.

[@dtae8872]

I wouldn’t say crappy games

[@edgarmuniz8331]

Brady is complaining for the sake of complaining.

[@cmcjsap]

The nfl has always been like this. See the patriots 2000's. 90's cowboys, bills, 49ers. 80's 49ers. He'll the lions are even good

[@davidcovington1046]

Exactly

[@jasonjanisewski78]

The NFL is in great shape right now. These guys are on drugs. The NFL has lots of parity. The NFC playoffs are going to be amazing

[@DEVILS_advocate05]

NFL is the most parried sport league.

[@BoomorBust]

What is Brady Quinn talking about?? College football is trash, and has been trash for awhile since the spread took over. Idk if he is talking aesthetic, atmosphere, or fantasy...but he sure as hell ain't talking about quality of play. There is a reason most the QBs can't even dream of being in the NFL. And then to say there is no parity in a league where the Commanders, Chargers, and Broncos all just flipped their contention status. Where you average SIX new playoff teams a year? Where the Panthers almost had a walk off victory against the hottest team in the league with a QB that was benched earlier in the season?? Stop 🙄

[@dwight8090]

Football sucks. They need to go back to the early year rules. It's supposed to be a gladiator sport, not a sissy sport. You can't hit nobody anymore.

[@viva_la_topa_8886]

Theres always going to be bad teams in the NFl thats juat how it is, its in all sports really. And all these rumors how they want to expand and make more teams is just a bad idea

[@jameswaller3246]

First round of college football is trash .look at seeding

[@willyfoofoo6076]

I've got news for your boys the college football playoffs are going to be a bunch of blowouts and you can't sit here and act like they're all going to be competitive. How many times have we seen a team up by 3 touchdowns and then a team claws and scrapes their way back in it and win it in the end?

[@ericmoore4031]

Pittsburgh will still win the Superbowl 🏆

[@jo-elbrown5893]

Keep on dreamin buddy.

[@bryceblackwell1334]

I get it

[@jakethethird1584]

Brady Quinn is terrible lol. I just can't listen to this guy. Brady just remember this for any question you have on how it could have happened - think about when you played lol. Secondly, if there's bad teams it's on those teams. They all have the same salary cap. What do you want to do, introduce socialism to the NFL lol? I guess you gotta come up with something to talk about.

[@chrischilds368]

Old man takes. “Everything was better back in my day” type takes. IMO the talent at the QB position has never been better. Every decade there are dominant teams and bad teams. That’s how it has always been. The NFL’s viewership is up. At the core I believe these guys who have their type of take probably liked the QBs back then more.

[@jonnyfevertv3170]

Wrong! Parity by definition is crappy football. Literally no good teams!

[@jjgreen5206]

Really Brady?? I think the product is better than it’s ever been. The ratings disagree with you Brady
