I get what you're saying about showing up but like you said, TV money dwarfs stadium, but people have to tune in. That's the normal fans they've lost the connection with. I barely watch NFL anymore because the product is poo. With all the technology, it's easier to see how bad the calls are and most of it could be fixed with some effort. I realize they're trying to go abroad but soccer is far more popular worldwide and I don't see American football taking that away.

If they wanted to maximize profits, fix the product before it gets down right impossible to watch, and it's damn close to being there. Pro wrestling is still popular even though it's scripted because they're embraced the show and entertaining the fans. Goodell is probably one of the most out of touch people I've ever seen when it comes to being relatable to the fans. At least Vince McMahon is someone that embraced his villain character. RG is just a douchebag. 

I watch a ton of NFL because the product on the field is still the best on the planet. But, that will only get you so far. US sports fans are an aging crowd so there will be a dramatic drop when the Boomers die off and the GenXers do, as well. 

The Millennials will probably be the last major generation that watches sports in high numbers.

And for some reason, people have insinuated soccer into this country, over the last twenty or thirty years.
With all these people that were imported, that is gonna leave a mark.  Soccer is their game.

Soccer was somewhat of an inevitability because it became a popular youth sport in the 90's and early 2000's. That was were the rise of soccer here really came from. 

It is likely it will play a much smaller part of the future of US professional sports for a very long time.

Maybe one day, the Panthers will have a shot to lose 18 games in a season. Tepper will probably still be rolling Young out to start.

Every team makes the playoffs. Seeded 1 to 16 in each conference. Playoffs end sometime around St.Patricks day. Every team has a 20 game schedule but each player can only play in 18. League makes billions while making the structure of Baseketball look simple.

Over exposure is already an issue. They are going to kill the golden goose with this kind of thinking.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
