So, wait: why are centers cheaper than guards, again?

I have been thinking about this on my own time and haven't asked outwardly, but there's no obvious answer in my mind.

Why is it guards are being paid $20+m/season and Creed is about to reset the market at $16m, maybe $17m?

They handle the snap, which guards don't have to worry about, while also being an effective blocker. And you could argue that a player who can handle the snap and still get out in space is at least as valuable as a guard who doesn't have to snap the ball. You could argue, I think, that he's more valuable.

So what's the disconnect here? Are centers inherently less talented? Or is it simply a matter of centers aren't inflating the market as fast as guards are, and for no other reason? Are centers easier to replace?

Why is one of these positions considered less valuable when they have more responsibilities per snap than their wealthier neighbors?

guards have to pull to one side or another , which requires more athletic & intelligence than just snapping

Our centers are required to be able to move and pull, too, usually.

I think it's the 32 starting centers vs. 64 starting guards.

Thats actually a great question from Direckshun, who'd of thunk it?

But Hoover seems to have an excellent, short but sweet answer... it maybe doesn't cover all the bases, but certainly most of them

Average guards aren't going to get that insane money; elite guards will. If you were to compare an elite guard to an elite C, I think the pure athleticism and build be striking. They are simply different dudes.
