Arthur Blank Committed to having Football in 2011

Oh yay more good cop/bad cop. Guys like Kraft, Jones, and Blank are the "good guys" going "aw shucks, we just love football so much and want nothing more than the season to happen. Why can't we all just get along?". Meanwhile, senile greedy asshole Jerry Richardson is the bully, railing against the players and kicking sand in everyone's face. In truth, they're a united front and all want the exact same thing.

That's how he's perceived by a lot of people, not necessarily what I believe myself.

The point is, regardless of perception, the owners are on the same page more or less. It's impossible for Richardson to be the sole roadblock on a deal because the owners would only need a simple majority to get one through.

I blame both sides on the situation but when other fans especially fans of other teams say that Richardson is the reason nothing is getting done I just laugh and tell them ok keep telling yourself that and keep thinking your owner isn't in the wrong cough* falconssaintsbucs cough* sorry our owner isn't a pushover btw.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
