Looking at Jersey Prices as Indicator of Who Will Be Back


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

Was just watching the NFLN about McNabb's benching... They talked about the report that like 2 days after McNabb was benched that his jersey was discounted in the team store (along with Albert Haynesworth, who's jersey had been discounted for weeks now).

So, IIRC, our team has done similar things before with players that wouldn't be bac. Or at least I know we've discussed that here before. Anyway, I looked through our team store and all the jerseys of the main guys we're worried about are regular priced.

Only discounted jerseys we have in our team store are of guys that are already gone. I know this is reaching, but hey, we're on our way to 1-15 and we've already discussed the draft ad nauseam...

Do you think this is a sign of security in terms of those guys being back? (DWill, TD, etc.)

No, contract talks are a sign of security.

You're right, but too bad our FO is working under a gag order and we don't know WTF is going on, so I have to look elsewhere.

I've seen Gambles jersey go on sale in spurts for like 4 years, so take that for what it's worth.

Well, I know sometimes they can become slightly discounted if there's only limited sizes left (like only available in small) until they get more in, but they do that everywhere, like Eastbay and all the big retail stores...

our crappy store sells "white" jerseys for cheap every year right after the superbowl, I got a Davis jersey for $25, they also sell Gamble, Marshall, at the time Jarrett..... any jersey they had in white was on sale, it doesn't mean poo, other then they might have too many and are trying to get rid of them

    • Ill quote you in my simple report.  The best player for the hornets was Simpson. If hornets....by some miracle stay healthy, Simpson will get 0 minutes on the season OR 2-3 minutes in a 50 point barn burner. That's summer league for you.  Kon, much better with the ball, better passer, better deep 3 shooter, and bigger body than I thought.  He never got a matchup with a decent NBAer player. He did look slow and to borrow a video game term- laggy at times trying to defend players that will never get NBA minutes. He's got to figure out how to defend with his limitations. Im not sure he will get over 15 minutes at the seasons start, just depends on the comments before this. The type of system will be important. If Kon is unable to guard players, they will iso him to death and destroy his confidence.  It's starts all over for Kon. He picked up the slack for Simpson fading and was the tourney MVP. Sims scored the win the game before and Kalk had his best game at the end too.  Maybe maybe maybe, these rookies will change the hornets for the better.  My opinion- check back on Kon when the all-star break happens. He's 19 and repeat that until the ears hurt. I hope he's able to keep his confidence level high, the NBA will humble everyone. Lequeen James got drunk on every practice until he got better. 
    • Ultimately I think this boils down to a difference in personal perception of the situation. And also simple rationalizing because it's still July. I mean let's go back to Cam's rookie season. Anderson was 28. Clausen was still on the roster he was 24. We've basically had Tommy Pickles and his Grandpa Lou Pickles at QB 1 and QB 2 and people are coming at me like I'm unreasonable. Which amuses me. I hope we can at least agree a thumb sprain (lol) was just an excuse to get Andy back on the bench.
    • Joe Person @josephperson The Panthers had 14 players in for tryouts today. No punters; three tight ends, including former Seahawk Tyler Mabry. Possible they sign one of the tryout players this week, but most likely brought in as possible injury replacements down the road.
