If so I think we should get together and work on that because we've pretty much been guaranteed an substandard shitty product for the next few years that none of us are going to happy with.

J.R. better not screw us and hirer Dick Juron as our next head coach because he's cheap. Just sayin.

And if he wants to make money instead of fuging raising ticket and concession prices how about winning and getting people into the stands? I think that might work a little bit better.

Sorry for the rant I've just been getting irratated by all the poo that I've been reading. :mad:

JR has NEVER been cheap. I don't know if you just started watching football this season. But JR offered Julius Peppers to be the highest paid defensive players in the league after only a 2.5 sack season. JR just saw this year as one to dump the extra weight and rebuild. This was the best year to make a sacrifice for the future of the team. I agree things could of been handled better. But to call JR cheap puts a giant red stamp on your forehead saying "I do not know football"

Enough said.

We will not know the ramifications of this season until 3-5 years down the road and after the CBA is reached.

In 3-5 years we will either look back on what JR did and praise him for steering this franchise in a direction that has put us in position to win multiple titles

or

We will curse his name for setting this franchise back to far to recover.

In my opinion, our fan base needs to grow some balls, sit back, and judge this franchise from a futuristic perspective.

Richardson hasn't been cheap but that doesn't mean he will or won't be in the future. Plus going cheap isn't necessarily good or bad, it depends on the results. Right now Tampa at 10-6 looks pretty good for a historically cheap team. Other teams like Green Bay and New England are in the bottom half of the team salaries in spending but in the top half in performance.

What you can't do though is build through the draft unless you hit on your picks and avoid taking fliers on projects who take years to develop. Plus you need to sprinkle in free agents as well although they don't have to be expensive.

We will see whether Richardson is cheap or not based on who he signed among our players whose contracts are expiring.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
