Much like soccer, I've always thought baseball was much more fun to play than to watch.

Yeah, in the end, that's really the world they are working in. The market is a very real place and decisions made within can echo for years, for good or for bad. I think he'll be an excellent pass rusher no matter what, I'd just really love to see him take over games.

This forum is the only place on the Internet where the readers have probably watched every play of his career and said, "Man, he's really good, but is he great?" I'm not saying he's bad by any means, or even average, I'm just saying he hasn't been busting up the opposing team like we've seen other great DEs do in the past. Maybe this move to OLB in a 3-4 will be the key that unlocks his full potential, maybe it will be the new coaching, or maybe just getting out from under the 1967 Cotton Bowl type defense of Snow that he's been saddled with for most of his career. I just don't know. Like I said, he's really, really good but we haven't seen "Save him a spot in Canton" level of play to get that level of money. I'm not saying he has to be the new Julius Peppers, but somewhere between him and Charles Johnson would be help.

He's best on the team, but is he "best in the league" money, though? I wish his stats said he was. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's on our team, but he's not been the "takeover a game" kind of player he needs to be to trying to reset the market. I don't want to see us overpay for potential. Again.

He should have been given a chance at QB. It couldn't have gotten any worse.

First off please stop with the really bad player nicknames. Secondly, please quit assuming that just because a player is a starter on our team that they deserve to reset the marketplace with each upcoming contract. Let's be honest, we've been a losing team for five years now and everyone whose contract is eligible for coming off of their rookie ones have been a part of that losing effort. Every single darned one of them. Right now, based on performance, they've earned middle of the pack salary levels at best. Even the mighty Burns. Let's see them lead the league in something, anything, before we start talking about them breaking the banks.

You nailed the reason right there.

Yep, love the placement of the Panthers, gives us something to work from but gives us some credit for what we've established. My only issue with the rankings are the Jets and Cowboys are too high. I don't believe that the Jets were really a QB away and I've just learned that you can't believe in the Cowboys. Still, so glad to see your work getting noticed in the big leagues! Keep up the good work!

And we should follow their example.

If it is such a great, then Tepper could do it all himself and really reap some incredible rewards. But, honestly, part of what makes it such a money maker for guys like him is that we rubes foot half or more of the bill, then pay for all the tickets, the hotdogs, the parking, the tshirts, the commemorative bath mats... Yeah, let's stop with the corporate welfare, especially for a billionaire's toy. I mean, hey, we enjoy it, they enjoy it. Let's not sully it with tax monies. Now if he wants to cut a deal with us like 51% of the franchise, guaranteed home in Charlotte and a heavier split in all revenues... maybe we could talk. But he won't. He likes us as suckers.

Gosh, I thank you so much! We put an awful lot of work into these and I hope it shows. Really glad to hear you are a fan of our channel! Really makes my day! PS. If there are any cases you want us to cover, just let me know!

As much as I wish it could be a player from another position, it has to be a QB and that QB right now is Mahomes, hands down. Not sure there's another person in the league with more control of the games he plays in than Mahomes. Brady, Montana, Marino, Staubach, Unitas, Graham... I don't think any of them were quite as dominant in each game as he is.

The new one that hit today:

Was talking about a winning team would do wonders for attendance. But I also firmly believe football was meant to be played on natural grass.

It starts with what they put on the field. Fix that and the rest will follow.

Meh. We are who they say we are until we prove them wrong. Team. Posters. Whatever.

Every season there's an NFL team that comes out of nowhere (to everyone but their diehard fans) and makes a huge leap forward. There's no reason it couldn't be us this time around. Every season there's also a team that inexplicably collapses at the halfway point. I don't see us as being that team. So, I'm optimistic that in a crippled NFCSouth, we somehow pull out enough wins to take the division. Beyond that, well, there's no way I can predict a win there right now. I think we are poised for better days, just we aren't fully there yet.

Freshman 15.

Look, until we prove otherwise, it is going to be us in the bottom tier. And honestly, all of the "theys" have as much chance of being right as the "we"s do. We could roll into this season and set the league on fire. It could be a replay of 2003 when a gritty team of overachievers just out tough everyone and a QB starts playing like no one could have imagined from him at that time. Or we could see our undersized rookie QB get splattered in the first game, our lack of receivers kill us, have a non-existent running game and all find out that Indianapolis' collapse was Reich's fault. We just have no way of knowing what kind of season we will be having. And that's why they play the games. And it's not just us. Any team can have any kind of story going into this year. There's no reason the Bears won't be great and there's no reason that the Chiefs can't collapse. Me, I can't wait to see that first official, real game.

The climb will be epic. Just watch.

There's a lot of inexperienced or new guys that make up the rest of the offense... might not be the smartest thing for us to outpace them all with the new QB. Just sayin'.

It's only a matter of time before the NFL runs into a huge scandal with betting. I wish they had never gotten involved with it, much less fallen so in love with it and the easy money. I guess that's how all gambling stories start off.

If Baldinger says it, it's gotta be true. He's the best player evaluator in football media, hands down.

Built with tax dollars stadium.

That's great!!!! I hope you have amazing success! And my wife and I are looking to add a term life insurance policy in the near future! Maybe we can give you a call then!
