way to not answer the question

 

if you believe the panthers just deserve to lose so long as richardson is the owner, why are you mad?  why do you care enough to post 2000 times on a panthers website?

 

edit: maybe the better question is why are you upset that they're not making the moves you think they should be making to be a better team and win?  i mean, the panthers don't deserve it, remember?

 

I answered the point of your post. Your question is irrelevant. Only your overall point mattered.

you know the best way you could show your displeasure with the product jerry richardson puts on the field is to not consume it right

 

why do you watch the panthers?  you know you're putting money in his pocket when you do that, right?

 

I don't buy tickets or pay for cable, so I'm not really putting any money anywhere. I subscribe to GameRewind, but I can watch any game dating back five years, and the NFL is getting all of that.

yeah sure

 

your ass will be planted in front of the TV for the draft, the panthers first preseason game, and every snap of every game this year watching the team that "deserves to lose" owned by an evil jerkoff and stuffing his wallet.  makes sense to me.

Watching TV doesn't "stuff Richardson's wallet."

what does cable have to do with it?  most panthers games are going to be on network TV and the NFL gives every team a cut of TV money:

if you're saying you stream them then that makes no sense either because you're still going out of your way to watch and get emotionally invested in something that you think deserves to lose.

 

i don't understand man, i'm sorry

Absolutely ridiculous OP. Colts are spending to spend. Hell, they might even make a run next year but adding two guys that are one (maybe two years) from retirement and not near the players they once were doesn't make the Colts the poster child for how to surround your "franchise QB" with talent. We're building a team here, hell, we're actually building an organization with a true philosophy that is to develop our guys select All-Pros in the draft and keep them on our team. Last offseason and this offseason are hopefully the last time we HAVE to bargain shop, but that doesn't mean we won't. It's smart. Save money when you can. Why spend $10 on cheese when the $2 Kraft singles get the job done? We're functioning in a thoughtful way, finally and its a good thing. Relax. We haven't spent ANY real money and our division is crumbling around us spending and dealing players away because they signed ridiculous contracts.

money that's not going into richardson's pocket everyone:
 

Each NFL team will get a 20 percent increase in national television money this year compared with 2013 — up $27 million — as a result of the new TV contracts that commence next month, according to sources who have seen the internal figures. Over the following two seasons, the increases will total an additional $23 million per club, at a minimum.

That means by 2016, each NFL team will bring in at least $181 million from national TV alone — more than enough by itself for teams to cover their salary cap expenses.

 

 

In 2013, each NFL club received $131 million in national TV money, which includes revenue from the league’s three network partners (CBS, NBC and Fox) as well as ESPN and DirecTV, the sources said. The increases set for the coming three seasons reflect current amounts owed by DirecTV but not any potential increases from a renegotiated deal that is in the works but not yet completed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
