Doesn't matter. This is getting very similar to what happened with rookie salary caps. One player was making a ridiculous amount while others were getting chump change, comparatively speaking.

The difference is was the fact that round 1 rookies, especially QBs, were getting paid more than a lot of vet players without ever having played a single down in the NFL. None of the NFL guys liked that, so they voted to stop it.

Rich people are looked up to in general. People see billionaires get 99cents of every dollar while 99% of the people fight over the remaining dollar. But the myth is you can be them one day if you work hard enough. The same in football. A few undrafted guys make it big and the myth that anyone can be a star if they work hard enough keep JAGs from complaining. 

So as long as success is always pegged to hard work and not the other myriad of factors that also contribute, players will support the system as it is.

If Dalton doesn't get hurt when he did, would Bryce  be the starter next year? Sure he earned it but he got the opportunity we didn't think he would get and he killed it like no one expected.  Those kind of turnarounds keep everyone thinking I could be next. So they aren't going to vote for something that restricts their potential even if they won't ever get there.

So is it true that part of the big jump in the cap is due to the additional revenue that the Kelce/Swift relationship has brought to the NFL which is estimated to be $1 billion? Or is that just social media fake news?

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
