Jerry's lockout strategy could backfire

We all know panthers fans are a fickle group. A few losses an you can't give your ticket away.

So what happens if the panthers have a losing season as a result if the veteran purging, and then there is a lockout the following season?

I don't think that is something that us recovered from quickly as far as fan support. Could set the panthers back to pre-superbowl days.

Will the casual fan come back right away?

Mr.Richardson is playing with a loaded deck, and he showed me what he's got when he did the purge thingy! Thus you are right...it might very well backfire like one of my SBD's! You have a lot of unique contractual possibilities dangling this year!

I don't see how anything good can come out of it - especially in a market as fickle as Charlotte. However, sadly, I would bet money that one is coming.

People forget that Richardson walked away from an NFL career over a measly $250. If he was willing to quit football over that, than I can only imagine what he is willing to do over the millions/billions involved today.

I can only guess he's willing to sacrifice short term losses for long term gains. Like you have questioned though, there is no guarantee Charlotte would ever recover.

True- but if Charlotte is competitive this year and they should be based on the schedule, then they are in great shape moving forward regardless of the lockout situation.

If the owners and players work it out, Carolina is in great shape because they don't have any really bad contracts. If the owners and players don't work it out, no NFL for a year and the league starts back up the next season with a much smaller salary cap. In that case, Carolina, being well positioned financially, is in great shape as they will be one of the few teams with any salary cap space.

Also, in the chance that Carolina stinks it up for the next few years, any new CBA will include a cap on rookie pay and Carolina will be poised to rebuild with higher draft picks that don't make a ton of money. The fans may turn on them in the short-term, but I don't think it will hurt the franchise long-term if the team starts winning again.

Hey Zod, if a lockout ensues and there is no football next year, you might want to lock the Huddle out too.

God only knows what types of threads would be popping up in here mid-October of 2011 if there was no football. :eek:

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
