I Believe Deep Down The NFL, NFL Media, And Fans of the NFL Wants Peyton To Win

And ride off into retirement

fug THAT

Peyton already won a SB, The Broncos won a SB, isn't that enough?

Panthers hasn't won a SB, been to 1 in their NFL existence and lost that game. What about that story? Is that not good enough? They said Cam is young and still has time, what? No, the SB is hard to get to and isn't guaranteed to win. What about the other guys on the Panthers, the old guys that hasn't won a ring? What about the people on the staff that hasn't won that contributed hard to this season? What about Jerry? Do they still have time? Wtf get that bullshit outta here

Panthers may be the favorite, but the fact is the Panthers has been written off and disrespected this year a lot, way more than the Broncos so we still remain the underdog. The Panthers carried that all year, but this game they need to carry it like no other time this season

Sure, tons of people would like Manning to go out a winner, especially after getting crushed by the Seahawks two years ago. Manning's a likable guy. 

OTOH the Panthers are the Cinderella team, coming out of nowhere with all kinds of heroes besides Cam and Luke, and having fun doing it. We're a unique kind of team and lots of people who aren't Panther fans are pulling for us to win.

I don't buy that the entire "NFL, NFL Media, And Fans of the NFL" are all pulling for Denver, but if the team can still use that perceived lack of respect as a motivating factor, I'll join in and shout 'nobody wants you to win but us Panther fans!'

I've always loved Manning. If he was playing against any other team in the Superbowl, I'd be rooting for him. 

So I definitely understand the perspective. 

Unfortunately for all those with that perspective, they will be very disappointed. 

I'm alright with that. 

 

GO PANTHERS!!

Not sure why the NFL would want Peyton to win since he is retiring either way. It makes for more drama if the Panthers go into next season and the foreseeable future as the polarizing team to beat, with the beloved/hated Cam Newton leading them. Just like they love the attention that the Patriots and Brady bring to the league. And, I heard yesterday that one fan poll had the majority pulling for Cam slightly more that Manning. 

But, if the disrespect card is what motivates this team, I hope everyone but us pulls for the Broncos and picks them to win (though I know that is unlikely at this point).

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
