Agree. There's a reason why a lot of these guys, even some of the big moneymakers, wind up broke within a few years of their career ending.

if we made their kind of cash, do you think we’d be dead broke?…totally on them

What’s the league minimum?

That depends on whether you're talking about veterans, rookies or practice squad players.

You can get a pretty good idea by heading over to Spotrac or Over the Cap and looking at the roster breakdown.

If you'd have handed me a big wad of cash right out of college, I'd probably be broke in short order too.

Hell, most of us probably would have been.

But hardly "set for life" money, especially if you've got a family.

No we wouldn’t 

You have a lot more faith in college age kids than I do 😄

Hell, plenty of adults don't even have good financial sense.

“Pretty good living” until you realize financial literacy isn’t taught in schools and a lot of these players have no idea what it’s like having money until their first check clears.  I don’t blame the players, I blame those who failed to teach them how to handle money properly, which a lot of players don’t have growing up.

How did cam come into play with this. As much as you guys might be salty at the way things ended he is still my personal favorite panther of all time(I smitty could also go here) and even if he is on the patriots I can't be mad. Seems we immediately crap on players that leave us even if it wasn't his choice.

So, you blame the parents ? I’m not being a smart ass, it’s a serious question.

If you are an adult and don’t have any ability to be financially literate, something went wrong along the way. Unfortunately, many of the parents can’t do it either and don’t know how to do it themselves.  I blame the system more than the parents.  Public schools need reform is the main point.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
