I just wish they would hurry up with a vaccine already.  A vaccine would calm people down.  Prioritize health care workers and the most vulnerable and then work our way down.  There are some being tested now,  hopefully they can get cleared and start getting people their shots before winter.

A vaccine by next spring would still be unbelievably quick. Ebola currently holds the record and that's still 5 years.

Yeah, but this is Merica's team.  

Seriously though, I doubt one or two players getting it would have an impact, but if it spread to several, who knows.  

Someone somewhere is going to bring it to a training camp and infect an entire team. 
 

NFL players are too young and healthy to suffer much from this, but it will be disruptive.

it's not just nfl players; it's the coaches, trainers, owners, support staff, families, etc

sports aren't gonna happen this year

I agree, just no way the NFL finds a way and if by some miracle it does all it will take is one instance to shut it all down. Kind of hard not seeing that instance not happen in training camp.

But what about next year? Do you people really believe in 12 months Coronavirus will be less hazardous than it is now? Or cease to exist? Be less contagious? Have a probable vaccine? Because if not...what’s the difference other than years without sports.

I’m asking these questions in sincerity...I really have no idea.

Folks dont realize that there is a component to unemployment that requires their former employer to respond to a filling.

We occupy a suite that used to be occupied by a different business and we get (and forward) the unemployment notices on a weekly basis.  My wife used to handle unemployment claims for a temp agency. 

Unemployment is not just a form you file with the government and you get a manic check, your former employer has to sign off on it.

I was told that claims were auto approved if the employer doesn’t respond within 2 weeks.

in a sane society this would drastically change how we approach mass gatherings, much like sars did in various asian countries

but this is america so

This may be the dumbest thing Trump has said to date.  On the increase in covid19 cases.  

"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any,"  - Donald Trump

Sorta reminds you of Yogi Berra.

All sports leagues should be required to rework their collective bargaining agreements now.  Since we are down, go ahead and strike, get it over with, 2 birds, 1 stone.

 

Again, joking for those have trouble spotting that sort of thing

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
