It’s just strange to me that a filthy rich person doesn’t take more pride in the grass on the field. They can afford it. Just seems like a cheapo way of cutting costs. More evidence that they don’t care about player safety. 

How is that strange?  Filthy rich people are wealthy for two reason.  They're cheap, and they're sociopaths.

Good luck getting Jerry Jones, Blank and Kronke to tear out a giant holes in their new stadiums so they can roll out a field into his parking lot for sun.  😂

You can’t put the genie back in the bottle after these domes were built. You can’t roll in a grass field that doesn’t get sun. It won’t grow. And newly sodded fields are worse as the roots haven’t bonded together yet to make a solid surface. 

If only someone could invent some form of artificial sunlight for these indoor stadiums

How far out are we, technologically, from having a turf option suitable to players' wishes/comfort? Maybe two years? 

With all the interest and money floating around on this topic, someone will produce it soon.

well this is obviously what’s going to happen

people-including the people who play the game, want the game to be played on grass.

but more importantly, the NFL is not going to admit it’s wrong 

thus some stupid and absurd BETTER THAN GRASS technology has to be invented to show that the NFL Is Dedicated To The Safety Of It’s Players and Darin gantt will write a lovely propaganda piece for panthers.com saying that “I can’t believe it’s <insert current year> and people still believe these professional athletes should be playing on the same things their grandpaps played on in this multibillon dollar industry which, is, above all things, dedicated to the safety of its players and can do better”

of course ultimately the NFL doesn’t have to take even an iota of criticism and will, to the point, be saving a little bit of money to not make its athletes or fans happy

They just need to force a league wide mandate on playing surface in the NFL and hire the blokes over in the UK to come over and teach us a thing or two about maintaining grass for sports to be played on. Some of those soccer fields over there are in such perfect condition it's wild, love watching it on a cozy saturday morning.

Have you ever been to the UK? If they get one 90 degree day in the summer the city melts down.  A typical summer day there is mid 70’s for a high. They have very different grass and climate over there.  What they grow there will not grow here outside of a few places like San Fran or Seattle.

Talk to the best indoor weed growers. I guarantee they could solve this.

Hell yea!!!

And some of our good ole boys can head over there and teach em how to grow watermelons and tobacco.

 

Two options as I see it.  NFLPA does nothing.  NFLPA says they will strike until it's resolved, the owners will cough up another handful of millions and it will continue on.

Jesus. It's VERY easy to do. You look back how ever far you want. You see which players got a certain type of injury. You then look at what type of field it was done on. It's not rocket science. And the results will not tell you anything major.

More so than ACLs and similar injuries, my subjective view is more guys are getting knocked out or close to it when getting slammed on turf surfaces vs. grass.

      That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again.

      It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
