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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
