I don't think it's necessarily the case but it does indicate a marked change from how he was talking a couple weeks ago. Owners probably decided to take a softer approach in public - perhaps at the urging of the mediator.

Either that or they are trying to get something together to avoid losing the TV money.

That is exactly what is going on. I thought the money the networks was paying was the regular contract money....didn't realize it was collusion money.

His actual quote wasn't as optimistic...he said:

"So far, obviously, we haven't been successful," Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said on his way into the mediation session shortly before 10 a.m., "but we're optimistic in due time we will."

The "due time" portion led me to believe it will take time to get it done...not 36 hours. He also added that they will get a deal that is fair to the players and owners. I don't think this is possible anymore...someone will have to cave at some point to make things "fair". The deadline will probably get extended but I don't expect anything to get done this week.

      I’m trying to be positive on Bryce Young, but….

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Who is comparing the two QB’s as football players? They’re completely different QB’s i said before Baker got here that he could play but the huddle swore up and down he was the worst ever  Bryce very similar right now. Bryce out there with a bunch of guys that’ll be out of the league in a few years minus TMac. And given this thread is about the 4th and 1 play specifically well it was actually TMac that butchered the entire play by running the wrong route

      Bryce in the huddle

      Team goes as the QB goes. It's no wonder we get dogwalked on a regular basis. That's the face of the franchise.

      All six of Nic Scourten’s pass rush attempts yesterday

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Rookie 2nd rounder in his first career game (and a few weeks post punctured lung) gets 6 snaps, is doubled on 5 of them, created a pressure to force a QB scramble on the only one he was singled, and still put a little pressure on one of the doubles which ended up being an INT........... And people look at that as a bad first impression? Even if you wanted to see a better move to beat or get off the double team, just the fact that he's making teams account for him with 2 players on a given snap, is a win for the defense.  It's up to the rest of the defense to make the other team pay for doing so, you can't fault him for that. Seriously, it's like some people are just going to be upset with everything if we're not a SB contender every season and play like it every snap of every game.  I've been screaming it all offseason, we're not a player or two away from being a contender, we're still in the early phase of a re-build, especially if we don't have the QB (spoiler alert, we don't).   Sometimes you just have to see potential and growth from a team at this phase of the process, expecting elite play in week 1 out of guys like Scourton is a picture perfect recipe for ending up upset. If that's what he does in his first game coming off the freak injury and less practice time while recovering, I'm extremely optimistic of what he can turn into with more experience and time to work on his craft.
