    I believe that is part of Guru's point...they can get paid without ever doing anything. You are paying for potential rather than productivity.

    I understand Guru's point, I'm arguing that the NFL shouldn't have a cap on rookies salaries because the nature of the game involves so much risk for the players that they should be compensated accordingly.

    Sort of like combat pay.

    If you put a rookie in the starting lineup they are much more likely to suffer injury than in other sports so they are taking as big a gamble as the owner for paying them.

    Again my solution of incentive based pay for rookies solves this...they should get paid if they start (pay for production) however the idea of rookies getting more than most of the veterans is the part Guru and I are taking issue with.

    That works for me.

    If they don't play then they aren't gonna get injured (at least on the field0 and will have the ability to prove themselves.

    Does that mean we can't get fired up for the draft though?

    You are correct sir, those are nice spinning helmets.

    Did you notice whose helmets they belonged to?
