NFL parity doesn't mean much, if you're a fan of a perennial loser.

Parity overrated. Dominant teams better for the league because they more polarizing. Create a lot of causal interest as well

Is it better to have casual fans that you know won't stay around.... And nevermind I figured it out while I was typing. Of course casuals are more important because you need to sell advertising and the casuals would show growth from last year so you can charge more. No way for them companies to know they only around short term :lupe:

NFL teams AND FANS believe that a QB is the solution to all issues and think they can pay chicken scratch to other positions or swap them out as easily replaced parts.

Mahomes has been phenomenal but without this defense that KC has trotted out over the last 3 years they would have been packed up.....those guys really stifle the opponents on key possessions and series

NFL pundits and coaches were treating the running back position as if it were destined to go extinct......Derrick Henry and Saqon should hopefully have put that nonsense to rest(I doubt it cause motherfukkers DO NOT LEARN)

as a fan of the NFL team with the most inept QB'ing in NFL history, I completely disagree about competent QB'ing. If the bears had a decent QB in 2006/2011/2018, they might have won a superbowl.

Its one of my main reasons rooting for their dynasty and wanting even a four-peat. Have people open their eyes to the falsehood of NFL parity. :wow:
Serious question, what do you expect to gain from this?


Suppose for the sake of argument they win 7 in a row, Mahomes is considered God, and the Chiefs are far and above the greatest sports dynasty to ever exist. Your dreams have come true; we now see that parity does not exist in the NFL either.


Is that it? Is that the entire goal? Or is there more to it than that? You seem really excited and eager to convince people there's no parity but I'm not sure what you get out of all this dedication to exposing the NFL's lack of parity aside from a brief "I told y'all nikkas" moment.

Okay let me add some more nuance....I am not disputing that competent quarterback play is not definite edge but I think you need to have significant other pieces in place for it to work

The way the NFL is currently set up, parity is only gonna be less and less of a thing. We had the stretch in the late 90s through the aughts where defense was still allowed and running back was still valued where there were different routes to success. Now its all about the QB. So you gotta hit on the right QB and have the right coach and put the right pieces around them and then be able to keep doing so after they sign their huge deal. Thats the only route to being competitive consistently in today's league.

Thing about this is that people shift their definition of what hitting on the right QB is. Like with Philly, if they lost any earlier in the playoffs people would be ready to shyt on Hurts and say that he is holding the team back. Or look at the treatment of Goff. Yet if Detroit wins Goff would be billed as the right QB. I think too often people are guilty of results based narratives when in reality there are still multiple routes to a winning formula. Detroit and Philly both took the path of building premier offensive lines and building around the run game to then make things easier on the QBs who are just good enough to make them contenders but probably not good enough to carry a stacked team.

It's funny because I would argue the NFL doesn't have parity like that.
I do think the NFL has more parity. To me parity isn't about who is in the finals or conference championship games. Parity is looking across the league and wondering how many teams have a realistic shot at a title. It's also about how fast can teams go from bottom feeders to contenders. In the NBA if you don't have one of the 5-10 best players then you really don't have a shot at a title. In the NFL with so much roster turnover and how impactful players straight out of the draft can be a team has a chance to go from shyt to playoffs to contending in just a few years.

A black QB become the greatest of all time and leading the charge of all these mobile/"Black QB" being the face and idea of QB is a great win imo. I get it stinks that your team is trash and will mostly stay trash like the dolphins but i get solace from that black men will be the face of the nfl in due time. :yeshrug:

See what happens when I try to be respectful to nikkas :stopitslime:




The fukk does my Bears gotta do wit anything you bozo. The moment I realized Mahomes would one day have a legit chance at surpassing Brady I've been a stan ever since; it's been years. I don't hate on greatness, rather I respect it and learn from it as any real one should. None of this has a damn thing to do with you getting erect at the thought of the NFL being exposed for lack of parity.

My question was what do you get from exposing the lack of parity in the NFL. You respond with, and i quote yet again:

You are an idiot, realized you've been exposed as such and are now pulling the race card on a verified black man. I'm trying my best to be more positive in 2025, so I'll just leave it at this: do better.

Theres parity because your team can be in the hunt for the majority of the season. Especially when your in a shytty conference. Which is why NFL will probably never just put the beat teams with the best records in the playoffs. That would potentially create more parity as far as winning titles. But its better for the league to have those fans of barely above .500 teams actively engaged for the majority of the season. In the NBA when your team has a horrible record early,its easier to check out and assume they will be garbage. Just come back if they manage to climb in the seeding after the next 20-30 games:mjlol:
That's the grand illusion of parity. Fanbases holding on to the 2007 Giants improbable run as a measuring stick of what "any given sunday" can do for a team who sneaks in the Wild Card with a barely above .500 record. That's not ACTUAL parity. That's annual delusion. KC in their 5th in a row, and Philly is in their 3rd in 5yrs after switching off with the 49ers. Those "In The Hunt to Super Bowl" runs are RARE. :mjlol:

Using your logic, the 2023 Heats Finals run is PROOF that the NBA has more parity than the NFL. Miami was an 8th seed. :ufdup:

All you have to do is sneak into the playoffs and you'll get to the Finals. :troll:

Pretty much. If you have THAT qb and coordinator combo, you can win for a very, very, very long time. Even before Mahomes, Brady/Beli showed us this. The patriots got to super bowls from when I was 12 to 30yrs of age. I've never seen a sustained dynasty for that long in the "no parity" NBA. Now we're seeing consecutive sustained excellence in the NFL because opposing teams will play the QB carousel for a whole decade while Mahomes amasses titles. And his only challengers are OTHER teams with definitive franchise guys(Allen and Jackson). That's the thing. The lack of parity isn't merely KC going to SB's, the lack of parity is also in the challengers to KC being the same 2 teams. The "will allen/jackson finally beat mahomes" storyline is being repeated over and over and over each post-season. <---This will be the same storyline in February 2026. :manny:

The nfc has legitimate parity. Over the last 20 years, Dallas is the only team in the conference to not reach at least the conference title game and Detroit, Dallas, Minnesota, and Washington are the only teams to not reach at least one Super Bowl. 75% of the conference has reached a Super Bowl in the last 20 years. That’s excellent.
