It's called AI. Progressive, if you will....

You use a generative AI lately?  They would have the Panthers scoring 900 points a game, Bryce Young catching 100 TDs, and Brian Burns as the super bowl half time =P

Honestly, the Panthers are more than capable of getting in their own way.  They don't need anyone to write that story.

I can't imagine ESPN surviving much longer in its current form. Disney and Spectrum just got done with their slap fight and ESPN price seemed to be a sticking point. 

Spectrum (aka Charter) was paying $200m *a month* to Disney for ESPN and all the other associated Disney channels. That's about $1.8b per year in licensing fees.

Charter took a stand and said, if we're going to pay you this much money AND you're competing with us with the proposed direct-to-consumer ESPN streaming service that's going to come eventually.... either give us something more favorable to the consumer or you'll lose out on some much-needed cable money.  So Charter subscribers are getting access to Disney's ad-supported streams and other stuff.... and footing a higher ESPN charge along the way for the effort.

I suspect the other cable companies will try to negotiate a similar situation when their contracts come up for renewal with Disney

Thanks, was worried I might not be able to catch the game on antenna. Side note, wish all our games weren’t on Fox. Fox signal on my antenna is absolute poo no matter what I do. Get everything else crystal clear.

I'm antenna as well. I get it great on 1 tv, and hardly at all on the other. Makes no sense, same antenna on both.

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
