He also pays out over $100M annually towards player salaries, and who knows how much on advertising, maintenance, staff salaries, etc. etc. etc...

Not defending him, but the profit margin is a lot less than the $1B-200M quote is showing...

Yea but that dose not take into account NFL revenue sharing. SF prob gets about 10M of that and so do other teams.

Its all in there. He (or him and any other owners of the panthers) net around 20-30M per year.

Got to look at it from there prospective. The Players right now are making more money then the Owners. Not much more but more none the less.

Stop fuging saying this.

There is not a single player that makes more than an owner. That 59 percent is split between every active player and practice squared in the NFL. Meanwhile that remaining 41 is split between 31 guys who are already millionaires plus the governing council of the packers.

Thats like Jarrett from Subway making more money then Subway itself.

No that's like every single subway employee combines taking in sixty percent of net while the remaining 40 goes to shareholders.

At some point the the Players need to know that the Owners have them by the balls. Then after that Goodell needs to know that and give them a deal.

Its why the union is trying that desperate move of decertifying so they can then sue the owners once they lock them out. Sort of a futile move considering the owners defense attorney's can easily say "they only did that so that can sue since the CBA agreement wouldn't let them". Bottom line is the high priced attorneys will argue, defend, continue and appeal for years. All the while the players are not getting paid and getting more desperate while the owners tighten their belts and survive off the TV contract. Guess who will cave first?

JR may have a team worth 1B he paid for 200M, but again, HE took a lot of the risks in paying that much to establish a franchise. The players didn't risk poo by him opening up in an expansion market. I'm not on either side, but I am a free market guy, so I firmly believe those who take the most risks and reap the rewards should not be punished for doing so. The players get paid a lot because of the risk of injury and short life span of their careers and they get compensated appropriately. I took a risk of shelling out more than 60K for a bachelors degree without any guarantee that I'd ever make enough to repay the loan, but now I don't feel bad about those who make minimum wage when I make a pretty good amount because I took a risk and they didn't do squat. I'm not saying none of them did, but the vast majority of minimum wage earners are not college educated.

Nobody wants to punish him for making money

We are mad because of the pending lockout being led by JR

I understand that but that's where a college degree comes in place. God forbid an athlete doing what u say but also working hard in academics for something to fall back on.

Thats irrelevant regarding the statement I was responding to, namely that the owners are the only ones who invest anything.

Everyone shut up about your personal experiences.

The very main reason everything in this country is so fuged up is because you try to understand things by applying your personal anecdotes working hr at the local hat factory.

What I hate is that we are fans. We buy merchandise. We watch the games rabidly. We watch their crappy commercials. We buy tickets. We buy over priced beer, nachos, and popcorn.

All we want is to watch football, and maybe get an autograph every now and then.

Yet, two groups of people sit in a room and argue about what's best... And no one cares about what the fans want.

But my experience in inspecting buttons on the line applies to everything.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
