But they are 100% wrong in how to address concussions in regards to youth. Until a thug/Bully mentality is addressed with COACHES, nothing changes.

Coaches pull the 'get back in there or you're a pussy' bull poo way too much. The kids safety needs to be #1. Too many times kids either get back on the field way too soon or still injured. Why? Because the coach will ridicule the poo outta them.

Madden will never influence a young football player like a coach will. I know from first hand experience many of these kids from all walks of life have no father figure and turn to coach to have one. Teach them to be tough for sure, but teach them to be smart as well.

You're right. The biggest problem with this push the NFL Is making is it is basically changing the entire way players think about when to play the game almost, but they're only doing it at the very top level. That's not going to be that effective; it's actually going to cause quite a bit of resentment imo. Change also needs to occur at lower levels as well.

Here is the bottom line...money. The owners are going to pussify the league because they aren't going to keep paying out more and more millions to retired players.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
