saw this on ESPN

Tolbert has a lot to learn....if you are going to give the middle finger to someone by paying a large bill in annoying change you have to take the coins out of the boxes and out of the nice pretty rolls.

There's two sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Impossible to say who's at fault here given the info in the article. Both sides honestly sound plausible at face value. 

it might be that he went in there leaning on them to comp the work, that pissed them off, and then they kept coincidentally having "setbacks" and raising the estimate.

both sides would technically be telling the truth if that was the case

Totally agree.

I merely took enjoyment out of the fact Tolbert totally screwed up his "revenge". Everything was rolled and in neat bank boxes. Kinda defeats the purpose because it was all neatly packaged to carry right back to the bank.

gotta use loose change, Mike.  You get a fail there.

why should I be outraged at this?

Shouldn't be.  Posted merely because it is a Panther making the big news outlets. 

Emphasis in post is more on his poor execution and lesson to be learned if someone ever opts to get on that level. Not picking a side in the dispute because we don't know the truth.

To be fair I bet that was a bitch to carry.

Dude. You gotta unroll those coins. Put a layer in a five gallon bucket, thin layer of dirt, another layer of coins, and so forth. Keeps them from putting it in the coin counter at the bank.

    • 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
