Running backs don’t last 7-10 years. If we’re lucky, he’s got 2-3 years of good production in him. Also, the search for ‘value in the draft’ has been part of why our drafting has sucked for years. Coaches and GMs trying to be smarter than everyone else.

Solid prediction.

same… Rough edges, bland color, too tall….I could go on.

That’s a terrible post. Rough edges, bland color, too tall….I could go on.

I’m pretty sure the Cinci guy owns 97% of his team.

I guess these numbers don’t include the values of the teams they own.

This. Quitting at this stage would be a terrible career move. I guess he could have a family matter, but 90% chance he was fired.

There’s a well known saying that goes: money amplifies who you are. A large percentage of people, if given everything they wanted, would be jerks.

I can’t remember, what did we get for him?

I know, but he didn’t have to come off two first rounders so fast. I now see how they got him down to two 2nds.

DM isn’t much of a negotiator I see.

4 wins

His career would be over if it wasn’t for us. He said last year the panthers were the only team willing to make him a starter. Tells you something about Frank and Fitt’s evaluation skills.

To be fair, we tried a partial rebuild but had to trade everything to make up for the mistakes of the partial rebuild.

Right. My understanding is the stadium needs a lot of structural work to last another 20 some years.

I can’t find anything that says they are tearing down and building from scratch. What I’m reading is they are expanding the upper deck to seat 8k more people, adding a sunshade, and renovating the concourses. I mean they say they are playing a year in the stadium during the upper deck expansion phase. Do you have a link to better info? But yes, this does seem more expansive that what BofA is doing. “Among plans for the project include installing a canopy to provide shade, rain cover and improved airflow for 100% of observers in outdoor seating; increased air conditioning; doubling the width of the main concourse and creating 360° connectivity on the upper concourse; 16 new escalators and 12 new elevators; 12 new restrooms and renovations and expansions to existing restrooms; and 190 new points of food and beverage sale. Stadium capacity will be flexible, with 63,000+ projected for Jaguars games and the ability to flex 70,000+ for the annual Florida-Georgia game and other major events. The following timeline for the stadium renovations was included in the agreement: Potential final Jacksonville City Council vote: June 25, 2024 NFL owners approval: Oct. 2024 Construction begins: Feb. 2025 2025 season: In Jacksonville with 60K+ stadium capacity 2026 season: In Jacksonville with approximately 43.5K stadium capacity 2027 season: Away from Jacksonville Renovations complete and facility opening: Aug. 2028

The jags are doing a reno as well.

I hear you, but there isn’t a reality where the homeless would get hotel occupancy tax revenue. That money always goes to a building project.

Often times “stole the show” just means he sucks but sucks less than everyone else.

These statements don’t really go together. The council is a democratic process. They are elected and people could have come and voiced their opposition. If people don’t want Tepper to get this money, they wouldn’t punish the council for voting against it. He’s getting the money because the people who actually do vote want the team to stay in charlotte. If the council received 10000 calls voicing opposition, they would change their tune. But regular voters don’t really care….at least not enough to send an email. Its a shame, but it’s how it is right now.

No way he lives that long. It will be the Nicole show at that point.

My theory is the O staff had so much tunnel vision on the QB that they didn’t fully see the issues with the OL and WR room until it was too late. I think it hit them during the jets practice. Canales at least understands how bad this group was and hopefully has improved it by 20-30% or so.

Maybe, but the social media team typically ignores guys when they don’t play well.

They have to move on if he’s a trainwreck. They have no other option. The kicker will be if both he and Icky are train wrecks. No good options at that point.
