Why are you even following the Panthers if you think they’re just a brand when you’re not even from here?

No serious football fan would delude themselves with that Bill Parcells bullshit ass idea that people cheer for the jersey not the guys wearing them. Of course you move on if the player changes teams, but you never forget what they did while wearing your team’s jersey. When the players suck, everything sucks. You don’t see anyone in here right now bragging about our color scheme or the team’s market value. 

I am from NC, I just don't live there anymore. And I cheer for the team that represents where I'm from. Not the players.

And you completely contradict yourself. By cheering for the Panthers regardless of who is on the roster, you are - by definition - not rooting for the players.

Not sold on Williams.  

The turnovers and how long he holds the ball are big concerns. Huge concerns. He also has not played well against the few decent defenses he has faced. He's still a helluva prospect, don't get me wrong. But he's nowhere near a slam dunk and definitely not some generational type prosect. 

I think he's boom or bust. He's either gonna be great or he's just not gonna translate at all. I don't see a whole lot of room for him just being decent. I struggle to see him as a Trevor Lawrence type. Disappointing for where he was picked and what he was hyped to be but still decent. Not great, not disastrous, just kind of a mid-level starter type.

Why are we even debating this.. This would never be allowed just by rules of the salary cap. 

Andrew Brandt did a podcast talking about how dumb of an idea this is.. if you want to get into depth of that I suggest you listen to it. 

I have not seen anyone actually "debating" it, more like talking about how asinine a request it even is.  Even before he tried to dismantle his draft stock over the last part of the season lol.  I think Beck from GA looks more the part than Williams.

NFL bans giving equity stakes to players, employees - NBC Sports

Quote

Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal reports that the league has adopted a rule prohibiting the giving of equity in the franchise to players or other employees

Its apparently not allowed anyway.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
