I personally know a few B's, none are douchebags.

However, that is the rarity, not the norm.

"...a few" implies at least 3.

So what are the odds that 99% of all billionaires are "douchebags" but 100% of the ones you know are good guys?

Statistically speaking that seems very very unlikely...either that or the general assumption is wrong.

Say what you want about Hurney but he seems to have executed what JR wanted to a tee. If only JR wasn’t wrong

Part of being good at your job is knowing when to tell the person above you they're full of sh-t.

Marty never gave any indication that he was smart enough to do that.

One man cannot possibly do that. PSL owners, demand, and tax payers made the Carolina Panthers a reality.

If it wasn’t JR it would’ve been another person. Because the former 3 things (a local market and one willing to pay for a team) were there. 

JR was just the guy who was able to own it. Lucky for him. Unfortunate for the Carolinas.

Not as easy as you say it is

Either that or he was smart enough to know certain managers "above you" will immediately fire yo' ass for said behaviour...

...Jer' was one of those guys. 

Can't blame a guy for wanting to remain employed.

That sounds great. But if you think JR would keep him as GM if he was undermining him and telling him he’s full of poo, you’d be sadly mistaken. So “smart enough” is kind of silly to say assuming Hurney wanted to keep the GM job.

There's also something to be said for knowing when the person you work for is a loser.

At that point, you're either good enough to get a job with somebody better or you're not.

Marty's now working for Dan Snyder.

I agree but it sucks that the franchise tag is still a thing.  A player could get hit with the 5th-year option and a franchise tag (potentially 2-3x but unlikely) before being able to negotiate a contract or hit the open market.

I get why the current players wouldn't care about guys not in the league yet, but wish they could have negotiated something better.  I think making it where it is a 3-year deal and the 4th year is the option year works out for both the player and the team.  And make it where you can only be tagged once.  That still lets a team hold onto a player for at least 5 years if they can't negotiate a contract, but eliminates the possibility of getting tagged more than once and guarantees you hit the open market (if you so choose) after 5 years in the NFL as opposed to potentially 6 or more.   

 

Yeah because paying a rookie QB 50 million to bust made sence. Honestly it was the agents that caused the rookie cap because of their greed. I mean if you're tagged 3 times you're a multi millionaire and that's way farther than what most players get.

From the guy who predicted that Marty would be working here for years to come, then said Tepper wouldn't hire a new GM, and followed that up by predicting the wrong guy.

You've proven repeatedly that you have no idea what you're talking about.

I literally said I agree with the rookie scale.  I was just adding that there are ways to improve it.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
