Replacement player wish list?

First of all Goodell did rule out replacement players months ago. So Florio is just making stuff up.

As for finding a franchise guy in a replacement player, seriously??? IF these guys are not even good enough to be picked up on a UDFA contract, why would they be able to play at a high level. If they were good enough to be a replacement player, they should be good enough to tryout and walk onto the squad as a UDFA. The reason there was a movie about a guy off the street trying out and making the Eagles is that is doesn't happen but once in a blue moon.

Goodell doesn't have the authority to rule out replacement workers. The NLRB allows replacement workers in the event of financial losses that will cause economic stress on the economy. A $9 billion dollar industry closing the doors for a season and the residual effects (outside costs could be plus $50 billion) would cause such a stress. Replacement workers are allowed and the NLRB will probably require the NFL to replace the workers.

Gooddell's promise assumed that a CBA would get done before the season began. If that doesn't happen, then all bets are off.

In its first year, a scab/rookie team would be more competitive than any college team. And in 5 years, you wouldn't notice a difference between the NFL we have and the one we'd get.

Some of my friends (namely college football fans) fantasize that NFL fans would waiver and be suddenly become more interested in other collegiate football if the NFL hired scabs and rebuilt the league. I do not agree. As long as it lands most of the best college draftees, and cherry picks the Arena/Canadian leagues, combined with the visually stunning TV content NFL football will sell better than any of the other sports, especially if some of the unrestricted free agents break NFLPA ranks and join a NEW players union.

And why isn't the arrival of a new replacement union entirely possible? What law prohibits the league from negotiating with a group of football players who DOES accept the title/certification of union????

It isn't the players people want, it's the competition. Isn't that one reason why some fans don't want to see new rules that help the league reduce player injury? Isn't that why most fans say "just get the deal done", and they don't care who has to make a sacrifice to let that happen?

I promise you, kids will still want Fatheads of players you;ve never heard of, if the current batch of jokers is shown the door.

I got several tickets I would be glad to sell you at face value for the season if they go that direction then.

Sorry, got my own I'm stuck with. I just think we might see some guys on the field with passion for a change, and playing against equal caliber players, it wouldn't be as noticeable that the "gods" weren't playing.

T.A Mclendon (Offensive Player of the Year)

Corey Lynch (Defensive Player of the Year)

Terrence Holt (Super Bowl MVP)

This makes me want to vomit. T.A. Mclendon isn't good enough to be a replacement player... he is probably the most over-hyped, under performing player to ever play football in North Carolina.

Corey Lynch is good, but isn't he on an NFL roster?

Terrence Holt... maybe.

Sure, you go on believing that. Then the season happens with scabs, these guys get all redemptive with Gene Hackman and whatnot, and then BOOM! Dominating the competition. Shocked the world baby, shocked the world.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.
