If there was one thing I could ask of the new ownership when they take over, it would be this.

Whatever you have to do, whatever price you have to pay, whatever promise you have to make, whatever arm you have to twist, whatever butt you have to kiss, whatever skid you have to grease, whomever's soul you have to sell...

Whatever it takes, do everything you can to try and lure Eric DeCosta away from the Ravens.

Every team that's had a GM opening for the last several years has had DeCosta on their list. He's never budged, always preferring to wait and take over the Ravens job when Ozzie Newsome retires.

There are certainly good candidates other than DeCosta, but he's been the prize many teams have sought after but nobody could win.

Maybe we won't either, but I would at least want us to give it a try.

I agree an attempt should be made, but I just don't see the guy leaving. 

Although... how many teams didn't bother trying to get Beane because they didn't think he'd leave? Definitely worth a shot.

For some reason,  I still think Bill Cowher would be an excellent GM. 

Cowher has stated he has zero motivation to leave his current job.

He pointed to the fact that he's highly paid, loves what he's doing and has minimal stress. 

Would you leave that?

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
