This morning Mort was on Mike & Mike and when asked about the labor situation, went into a diatribe about how removing the salary cap might not be a bad thing because the quality of play in the NFL wasn't very good anymore. I was shocked to hear him say this [particularly when it's the popularity of that very league which pays his bills].So I thought maybe I misunderstood his point, but in today's online chat...he made the comment again and was asked to clarify. He said...
Very bold statements from a guy who makes his living as an evangelist of the NFL and as someone that gets intel from every league office in the land. Do you agree or disagree?The league is a bad league right now. The quality of play is marginal at best. Too many rookies and young players are forced onto the field too early. The perception of parity - that a team can turn it around in one year - creates an owner and public unrest when things don't go right. That triggers too many firings, too many changes, and that affects the game. It's one reason why quarterbacks struggle in this league, too. Deep subject.
