fuging outrageous that this doofus caters to the demands of soccer players that don't even play for his team but won't listen to the demands of his own players. I'm way happier with how this offseason has gone than his first 5 years but damn Tepper this is the easiest fuging thing to do to make players and fans happy and he still won't budge.

How much money you sending if it's so easy?

 

Get the board together and let's start a GoFundMe account. I will throw 1k in the pot to get this thing done.

Tepper is worth 18.5 billion I'm sure he can figure out how to keep real grass and still keep the lights on.

I love how they put grass down for the traveling soccer teams each time. It’s so deflating knowing that Tepper ultimately values flexibility for his entertainment biz vs winning or player safety. 
 

 

Like, they would only have to put grass down 10 times all year.  Its not like the NFL plays a poo ton of games or anything.

We should all take to Twitter and make a big deal about how awesome this is for the team so that Tepper doesn't have any choice but to keep it. 

Seriously only way is to make this a viral story

Considering he has billions, Tepper can easily afford to have a grass field that would be safer for the players.
 
 "Grass is a significantly safer surface than turf," JC Tretter, NFLPA president said
 
The association reviewed past data and found that 10 of the previous 11 years showed that the injury rate on synthetic versus natural surfaces was considerably higher.

The only way it changes is if the NFLPA bans turf. Which I think is right around the corner.

Unfortunately, that is what this may come down to. The CBA has to hold the line. No sod, no trod. 

 

To bad the next CBA isn't until 2030. So, it may take some drastic measures. 

 

Force the NFL to abide by its "We're all for player safety" line. 

 

Fingers crossed.

The only problem I see is that dome teams cannot have grass fields.  Do you force them to build new stadiums? Good luck with that.

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

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
