Wilson has had the pleasure of being able to be entirely opportunistic this season. He wouldn't be (this season) nearly as effective if the Seahawks' defense was underperforming.

The same can be said about any of the 3, no? I don't know that any of them can carry a team. Look at Carolina last year.

[smuggler]

Well, specifically Wislon since he throws 17 passes a game and the team has a great run attack.

Luckily for all three teams, by the time they need to re-up the QB's, the cap will begin to increase again.

I think they are all talented, all good. The Packers could beat an Alex-Smith-led Niners team, but they can't stop scrambling Kraepernick.

Not so sure. I watched Alex Smith run the option right past Eric Walden for 2 key first downs in that playoff game this year.

i've heard this mentioned a few times now. is this written in stone that the cap will start to go up at some point?

because its been expected to go up the last 2 or 3 years and its barely moved a bit

need at least COLAs, right? Can't expect these guys to get by on what they're making, especially since they're being exploited by ownership as it is.

Cap will definitely go up after 2014 when the new TV contracts kick in. But how much and how fast is the source of some debate. Previously, huge TV deals immediately led to big increases in the cap the next year. This CBA they put in measures to moderate the increases year over year so the curve was smoother, to avoid another jump like 2006.

How much would a win be worth today for Colin Kaepernick? Many GMs believe at least $18M per year:

[smuggler]

He'll still get like $14mil/year. A nice consolation.

He'll get payed cuz he has talent and makes plays. But damn if he didn't look like Brett Favre out there! ('95, '07, '09)

The insistence on that throw to the sideline kinda looks like Brett, doesn't it?

Only thing different is that instead of whizzing past a LB's earhole, its grazing the fingertips of the LB.
