Reposting from other convos about TV market size to support your comment about St Louis being a "top 30" TV market.... and point out where Kansas City happens to rank in comparison. One would think that a higher-rated TV market would automatically mean the NFL would be interested. But that's not always the case

We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft. Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy

similar to Atlanta and the NHL. Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer). Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer. Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years. They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games. He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.

I know, and I do not necessarily disagree. It's a top 30 tv market though, and its supported the xfl/usfl thing that's been there, and the history is what it is. Once the old lady died that Rams team was going back to LA. I can see them coming back up for a team, or more importantly, being a negotiating chip.

Watch him make All Pro.

I don't understand what you are advocating for with this. No Probowl? No monetary reward? More money? Keep as is? Make them play? Change something up?

This is a negative from you? that’s interesting.

Yet the game has a significant problem wity players opting out. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/why-pro-bowl-has-lost-its-luster-and-why-it-should-lose-importance-regarding-players-legacies-too/

I would ( be shocked ), St. Louis has lost two teams already. If you count the proposed "Stallions" in the early 90s , that would make three.

Talent wise yes. Impact wise it’s Cam. Rivera should be committed for war crimes for wasting both their primes

Nah I guessed right

Jackson has been up and down this season in limited snaps but we need guys like him to perform well. Getting solid contributions from later round picks is how you really ramp up your roster building. I have been a little miffed with him so far, he was one of my favorite draft picks.

We as fans don't give a fug about it and know that it's a popularity contest. For players it's a significant work bonus.

2 of the others who made it have 3.5 combined

Yeah, what the hell!! They need better conditioning so our players never need to take a snap off!!

All due respect to Smitty, Peppers, Cam, etc. Luke is the best player to ever wear a Panthers uniform.

No most loses are because we are subpar roster with average coaching. Panthers have done a good enough job at preventing themselves win a SB for 30 years

The key word about Europe would be money, and would it be lucrative enough to justify the logistical headaches that would come along with establishing a division there. It would be a nightmare in a lot of ways. The next big thing to come about will be the 18th game. I always thought that having 1 game, now that there is an odd number of games, played at a secondary (neutral) location would be a good idea. Like a Panthers game at Columbia or Raleigh. But I am sure there would be difficulties pulling it off, and historically that hasn't made much financial sense. It probably is past that time as well though. I mention that because it is similar in some ways to a D-league. Again it all comes down to money and is it lucrative enough. The alternative leagues that try and make a run at it, never seem to last too long or be very compelling though.

Hate to break it to you all but by the time most of you younger folks have kids that are your age now, it will ALL be scripted down to the finest details. Will make pro wrestling look wild and unpredictable.

I’m not familiar with the escalators in his deal. I know they get paid something like 40k - 90k depending on winning or losing.

I would tend to agree on the Europe front as it would require fans to support “their” team rather than their chosen team or simply attend an NFL game as a neutral. However, if there is sufficient demand and monetary gain, and they could make it work schedule wise, then it wouldn’t surprise me if the league did consider it in the future. It would be interesting to see which North American cities they would choose to add in a potential expansion. Personally I think creating an NBA D-League would arguably be a better option and create less requirements on facilities and stadiums.

Two Great line backers taken from us by concussions in their prime. There will only be one luke god he was good.
