Cash over Cap doesn't allow a team to be competitive "year in and year out" and that is not what the speaker of that video is saying. He's saying that it allows a team to stack their roster because they are delaying cap hits to future years through signing bonus allocations (and unmentioned void years). You can't keep kicking the can down the road. Accounting doesn't work like that.
A team like the Rams showed how it can be done to win a SuperBowl. Teams will eventually start using this method in addition to having a ton of cap room when they have young stud QB on their rookie contract and then really have a stacked roster. A roster so stacked that even teams with a good QB will have trouble competing. If you are a poor team that can never use the Cash over Cap method? Good luck. You'll always run into a team willing to sacrifice the future for the current season which creates a competitive disadvantage since they can't do this.
As long as the salary cap, and contracts, keep going up, a well-managed cash over cap strategy will give the most consistent, year in and year out, success. A poorly managed cash over cap strategy will give the worst results. If you are staying out of the cash over cap game, you will constantly be chasing those teams who play it well.
