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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
