Or does anyone else think that Thursday Night Football is garbage? Even though its a primetime game for Carolina which are always exciting and it gives us some media attention, I've just always liked that the NFL was limited to Sunday with one special treat on Monday night. And regardless, the matchups seem to be consistently bland and unimportant. excepting this thursday of course

Prime-time is prime-time... I'll take what we can get. I just hope we shine. The MNF game was pathetic.

As far as having the attention of the media, we don't have the fan base of the Cowboys which pretty much gives you the ability to suck all year and still end up with 10 nationally television games. Not as bad as baseball with the Yankees & Red Sox, but it's slowly creeping there with 90% of the media's attention going to four (maybe five) NFL teams.

I like it for the simple fact that I don't think there's enough football to keep me satisfied throughout the week. Having it be a Panthers game is just a plus.

Indeed.

Think about it...

Thursday Night: Panthers

Friday Night: High School Football (Well, my old HS made it to the playoffs.)

Saturday: College

Sunday: NFL

Monday: NFL

Muahah.

i'm only gonna get one panthers game a week no matter how you slice it, i'd rather it be on sunday... I can't remember there ever being an interesting enough matchup on thursday that i actually found a tv with nfl network to watch the game. and theres always college football on thurs for everyone who needs some grid iron to make it to the weekend

and in football, players need time to get healthy, for that week and their careers. it is working in our favor this week b/c of Ronnie Brown who probably would be able to play if it was sunday. Being on monday night football gives team a short but managable 6 day week, but a 4 day week i ridiculous. teams also need time to prepare which is becoming an essential part of being a good team. taking it out is like taking out special teams

the reason the thursday games are a "less attractive" game is because when it all first started, there was a game with the cowboys and i think the giants or patriots that had huge significance and many people made a big deal, including that crybaby troy aikman, that the game wouldn't be seen by the majority of fans due to being on the nfl network.

the nfl network then pussed out and allowed abc, or espn to simulcast the game so everyone can see it. since then, the've wussed out on the top matchups of the week being played on thursday night.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
