Alternatively: outcoach the fuck out of other teams and get a bit lucky.
Parity is good because it makes things entertaining over a long term, but the cost is pretty explicitly making building of dynasties hard.

This seems a lot like willful ignorance given the players that make up the MLS.
If they are good enough to earn more elsewhere, they can. A number of American players make artificially more by being in the MLS relative to what they made in Europe (Altidore, Bradley, etc)

didn't that other rugby dude crash out of the league?
he was trying to be an RB
this guy has the measurables and athleticism of a Left Tackle grown in a lab
he's a freaking beast
and he's learning from JP and Stoutland
quickly
Idk about the other guy that much, but being an RB in the NFL requires a very different athleticism to being a rugby player because of the fact that in the NFL you basically don't need cardio

like tbf kickers and QBs have the ability to last the longest because, like, they don't really have to move. Speed goes down with age a lot faster than strength (and QBs can afford to lose a bit of arm strength if they can make up for it in other ways)

Like, what the jags have rn is:
1) Probably the best D in the league
2) Very good o-line
3) An incredible, but injury-prone, RB
4) Two promising, but raw, receivers in Cole and Westbrook. ASJ is also a solid catch-passing TE.
5) A QB that people meme about being terrible but who's actually pretty much average other than having the third-highest yards per carry for QB of all QBs ever.
