FLAWED
INTUITION


Toilet Rascal
I think the NBA and NFL struggle with parity the most since a superstar(s) sets you up for the long run. Golden State seems to be creatively getting around the salary cap and is set to have a dynasty for as long as they can retain Curry and Durant.

I thought the Seahawks would have a dynasty but salary cap decisions kind of forced them to lose a lot of their depth at defense, which I think was the biggest factor in them losing SB49 (remember that they were ahead going into the 4th when the Pats came back to score, forcing that decision at the 1 yard line). In the end, Pats got their dynasty going again.

The biggest issue with the NFL is QB play. Any team with a bad QB (or your star QB gets injured) is bound to be bottom tier, which is why you see huge deals for merely average QBs like Matt Stafford, Andy Dalton and Russell Wilson. I think if the NFL fixed that issue, we'd have a lot more even playing field.
