Charlotte bigger than atlanta?  That doesnt seem right...are they just counting in city limits...i know atlanta sprawls big time.

There can be a big difference between official city limits and 'metropolitan area', which is around 5.5 million.

The Atlanta metro is ranked 9th in the country with nearly 6 million people over a 5-county area. The actual city of Atlanta is limited to lower Fulton county and parts of unincorporated Cobb county. So many satellite neighborhoods de-annexed that the area which most people consider the city of Atlanta is actually a combination of a bunch of entities like Sandy Springs, Vinings, Decatur, Dunwoody, College Park, etc. in addition to Atlanta proper.

Charlotte metro is ranked 22nd with 2 million and change over a similar sized area.

Didn't see your post before I made mine. You said it better anyway.

Once again, population =\= a team's "market". The fan base is the market. Half of that population number are redskins, steelers, cowboys etc fans.  A big market team is a team with a big fan base.  the "market" is the group of people spending money on the product, i.e. the fans of that team.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
