At some point you have to produce more for more pay, period.  You are such a condescending cuss, but undoubtedly you take pride in it, el-oh-el. No wonder with that avatar.

Ah... The "my logic has failed so now I'll resort to insults based on failed logic" approach. LOL indeed.

The revenue IS the production per the CBA. The production has increased. This concept is proving exceedingly difficult for someone who supposedly didn't need a lecture on the CBA.

Starters only play a half or three quarters  of a preseason game. I doubt that will change.

The 4th preseason game key starters don't even see the field.  I mean the see it, but only from the sidelines.  Agreed that the other three preseason games will be approached the same as they traditional have been with the 3rd one being the "dress rehearsal".  That 4th game was such a snoozer anyhow.  I would always sell those tickets if it was at home.

You took this long to come up with that gem.  El-oh-el!

You are arguing against yourself here.  At some point the League was going to extend the season to get more out of the players with fatter contracts.  It's pointless for the players to whine about it.  Give it a few years and 18 games will be on the way.

This is going to lead to increased revenue which will in turn lead to increased cap and... you guessed to! Bigger contracts. This is intro to Econ 101 stuff.

Yes, I aced both of my Econ classes, so I know.  What you can't see forest for the trees.  Bosses typically expect more production for more pay.  You know, basic Econ stuff.  Yes, 17 games is going to led to bigger contracts, but guess what, they have to play that extra game to get it.  Crazy, right?

Evidently you do. That same workload has been driving revenue growth. 

It's really odd how many fans side with the billionaires. How have you been convinced that you're in the good old boys club? LOL!

That's in life, not just football. Just sayin'.

Kamara isn't alone. Most players hate the idea.

Hell, I hate the idea too.

They shortened the preseason. You don't think that's a good trade-off. They were probably useless anyway, granted we'll never know how much. I guess some fringe players might be affected, but how many times do they end up playing, much less effecting the game, anyway?

I don't have it in my heart to really care what the players think.  Find a different occupation if you don't like the NFL.

However, as a fan, I'm concerned.  We already see instances nearly every year where end of season games don't mean anything and starters are rested.  With more games, I can see even more instances of "Oh, this game doesn't matter, send in the scrubs"

That's where things get into weird territory.  Teams heading for a high pick run up against teams coasting to the finish line and it screws with the draft.    Permutations like that definitely concern me.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
