An innovative proposal that will go nowhere. (Just for laughs)

Someone mentioned in another thread that McAdoo seems to actually get plays called and into the huddle in a timely fashion. Given that this has been an issue with the Panthers for at minimum over a decade, with the number of penalties, wasted time outs, and flat out broken plays resulting from a group of highly paid millionaires being unable to do a basic function of their job in a timely manner, I propose that the NFL adopts a new rule (which they never will) in fairness to their fans:

Every delay of game penalty or time out called by the home team to avoid the play clock expiring shall result in all prices at the concession stands being lowered by a dollar for the remainder of the game, and a refund of 5 dollars per incident to season ticket holders. If NFL owners want to whine about their lost revenue, fine, they can take the lost revenue from the lost parties salaries: HC, OC, and starting QB.

I get it, the NFL is hypercompetitive and other teams have good players too, I can't demand a Super Bowl and claim to be reasonable, but what I can demand as a paying customer is that highly paid professionals execute mundane basics of their jobs at a competent level.

Post your own suggestion of things NFL teams screw up that they have no excuse to screw up here.

oh I hold no illusions this would ever actually happen, I just thought it would be fun to throw out a fan oriented idea for laughs and see if others come up with similar notions. I agree Tepper ain't giving up poo.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
