They built their entire OL out of the portal this year. 

UNC landed the #1 ranked OT last year and he was a non-factor as a freshman despite UNC having a fairly run of the mill OL. That's the norm for lineman recruits. They almost always need at least one year of college level S&C not to mention simply another year of physical maturation from age. You aren't getting your quick fixes in the trenches from kids coming straight out of HS.

They will get experienced OL in the transfer portal. That OL was the worst in the country. They can only improve from here. Still way too early to judge their offseason, but this is a good start.

I honestly have no idea how baseball survives as a spectator sport. Baseball is the only sport that I even found boring to play growing up. 

I love it. Similar to watching golf. It's supposed to be relaxing, not exciting (until the Playoffs). It survives because it's still popular, played by amazing athletes, with great fans, and great tradition. Take the family to the outdoors ballpark. Eat a dog, drink a beer, sit back and enjoy life. You want to talk meaningless ... that's the NBA regular season.

It doesn’t. Attendance is at like 50%(averaged) for most teams. It’s actually a huge problem for the sport and the commissioner is losing his poo over it.

LMAO

 

Man getting blazed in the hot sun eating glizzy dogs and stuffing your mouth with salty nuts. That's your idea of fun?

 

It's no different then watching a NFL game except baseball is way less entertaining. The crowds are always dead because there is nothing happening unless someone hits a HR.

Baseball is near the very bottom when it comes to being popular. Sure the diehards love it, but the sport itself is not growing.

I'd argue, but this is a football board. Pointless. On a baseball board I'd have backers.

It’s more than the first day of NHL free agency by a long shot. 700-483(or what ever the precise number is). The dude is getting .7 billion to throw a few balls. 

What's even crazier is MLB revenue isn't anywhere close to that discrepancy from the NHL 10.1B revenue to 7.5b

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
