Per Schefter:

@Adam_Schefter*Deadlines can change minds. But NFLPA is poisted to decertify Friday. One person tonight: "Get ready for this to blow up tomorrow."*28 minutes ago

It's not looking good...best we can hope for is another extension. Seems like they have made little progress this week.

They had 3 major hurdles and now they're down to one and they've made headway on it.

Considering that months went by with nothing I'd call that a ton of progress.

Not sure what the deal is with the 18 game schedule...schefter said earlier today that the NFL still wants it. The financial details have not yielded any progress...the union denied what the NFL was going to show. So nothing there. And I think we all knew there was gonna be a rookie wage scale...both sides wanted it but they may have hammered out the actual details.

All in all I don't see much progress...De is worse than ever bc he knows the courts will back them...and the NFL is trying to see how much the union will let them skim off the top before decertification.

So you don't think they're any closer than they were last week?

Not really...I honestly think they are going backwards. Did you see the comments made by Pash and Smith tonight? They are starting to take open and public shots at one another. The silence has been broken which wasn't the case last week and both sides seem to be more interested in getting fan support than getting a deal done.

I have said all along that Smith was never had the intention on agreeing on a deal. The owners side had moved some on the money part but the nflpa is still demanding 50%.

The players are going to find out just how cold the world is without Football.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
