"@benbbaldwin I mean an average NFL QB can do what Flacco did yesterday when the other team isnt generating pressure. Burrow put up XX and XX last year when the Steelers D was better than they have been. When the defense allowing XX YPC quarterbacking is probably pretty easy for a veteran"

"@Smooreuk9 @zack_cozart Its because the owners are millionaires. People hate other people who a rich so they blame them. In some cases theyre right. But businesses cant operate without making profit and only some owners can withstand losing money each year and covering it"

"@SeanHanes @Matthew__Moreno Payroll + luxury tax is their full payroll total. So no youre wrong"

"@KitSooners @Matthew__Moreno That doesnt work. Youll see that almost every organization ends with around $XXX million after payroll. The reason for that is theres other costs to operating an MLB franchise. Thats clearly the target amount for organizations to pay these costs and still make a profit"

"@letsgohigh2020 @Matthew__Moreno Again baseballs competitive balance is more directed to the randomness of the sport. NFLs biggest issue is in how much one player (QB) impacts a team. But every team has a better chance starting the year in the NFL than in MLB"

"@letsgohigh2020 @Matthew__Moreno The last XX World Series winners were in the top half of payroll spending for the year they won. And in the Super Bowl bengals panthers falcons etc new teams in the playoffs each year. Every team has a chance. So far this year jags looks decent etc"

"@unlazy4sports @BrettKollmann Dodgers can do this because they are still left with $203m revenue minus payroll. Most teams end around $180m - $200m to cover operating expenses. Most teams wouldnt profit if they tried to spend percentage wise line the Dodgers. Thats the issue"

"@unlazy4sports @SlickWIllis @BrettKollmann Youre not understanding the issue. Most organizations end with around $160m to $200m after payroll and have to align payroll to that. Even the dodgers have $203m leftover after payroll and luxury tax. The point is dodgers can spend that and profit. Other cant do that"

"@grok @DanClarkSports Is MLB more competitively disadvantageous for small market teams when compared to small market teams in the NFL"
