you can grow grass anywhere with money, and it’s not so hideously expensive that it’s untenable. There are thousands upon thousands of golf courses that keep on operating right through winter, owned by millionaires not billionaires (covering far, far more area)

it isn’t just about the money anymore. It’s about pride. The nfl has been criticized for this so now they can’t go back. They have to be right.

i predicted last time this thread popped up you’d start hearing propaganda pieces about some “revolutionary new turf technology, the pioneering new TRUGrassX” or whatever….sure enough it’s come since then. 
 

nfl is a predictable tyrant

 

They are gonna go, hey look this new terf is safe and then end up switching all the terf teams to it once they get the data from it being played on this year.   

Ya know the one that Rodgers got injured on. Can't make this stuff up. 😂

It'd probably take something like that before any real change happens.

And that would 100% do it, and quickly too. Owners would cave so fast as even a week of lost profits due to a full on players strike would probably wipe out a significant amount of the cost savings for using turf over grass. NFLPA should get serious about this, all talk so far.

DeMaurice Smith is a lousy NFLPA leader

Mentioned it elsewhere, but I kinda hope the "star effect" is felt here.

Tom Brady sure as gell wasn't the first quarterback to get injured by a low hit, but it was his injury that resulted in a rule change. Perhaps the fact that this time it's Aaron Rodgers going down will make a difference.

I'm not necessarily betting on it, but loss of revenue is the one thing NFL owners respond to. Not having the allure of seeing Aaron Rodgers is definitely something I could see hurting the Jets.

As far as Carolina, Bryce Young certainly doesn't possess anywhere near the national star power of a Rodgers, a Josh Allen or others but he's David Tepper's biggest draw at the moment. If something were to happen to him, you can bet Tepper would have a bullseye on his back.

      Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.   I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me.
