Really? Because I remember the 2015 season when players were constantly complaining about the field. I believe it was re-sodded during the season at least 3 times. They did do a complete overhaul later, but they have struggled with the field in recent years. It certainly hasn't been voted on as being one the best.

You are absolutely right about the field being bad one year, but according to this article we are kind of loved https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/10/01/nfl-stadium-turf-grass-rankings

One of the things they did last offseason was completely re-do the drainage and such on the field to prevent issues.  Would be quite a bit of wasted time and $$$

Interesting find. It seems silly that turf would come in in an open air stadium with the investment already made to grass but what do i know.   If the new owner wants turf we get turf. If he wants grass we get grass. If he wants his face at midfield that’s what we get.  I  just want a Carolina based franchise that competes annually with excellent leadership. I’m not going to get bent out of shape over preferences and style. I  have accepted that the panthers will have a different feel under a new owner and i may not like a few changes. 

 

 

The interesting thing thing here is that minority owners (who comprise 52% of ownership) are kept in the dark. I imagine that when a bidder is found JR will have to get the approval of the minority in some fashion just like the NFL but who knows. Really surprise me that the minority group could have JR in complete control of their asset sale....

what a moronic thing to say. The players consistently vote us near or at the very top of the league for best playing surface

This guy should clearly be disregarded going forward 

It may be top of the league but maybe JR pays a lot for that to be the case and the other owners don't like expense that trickle down to the net line.  I don't think he said it because he is a moron.  We need more info on this matter but I hope this isn't something that changes.   It is significant that a minority owner thinks it will be an issue. Why mention it at all if its a non issue.  Makes me nervous.

Cancer.  This article is regarding the use of field turf and the cancer risk in soccer, but still relevant.  https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/27/health/artificial-turf-cancer-study-profile/index.html

Mmmm...I don't think the article really says that, "The results showed that the cancer rate among soccer players in the investigation, based on Griffin's list, was actually less than expected compared with the cancer rate among all Washington residents of similar ages."

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      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.
