Seriously, split back into the NFL/AFL

Now no monopoly legally. The owners of the TWO leagues can just vie over college athletes as they come out of school, Screws us with no draft though. But then each league could negotiate out TV contracts and now implement labor laws the way the rest of us have with limits on each position. No more anti trust bull poo.

I like the idea personally. Most likely there would still be some kind of regular season games between the 2 (something along the lines of 3-4 games) it would also allow the individual leagues to go up to 20 teams each. 1 of the new teams must come from another country. 1 of which should definitely be Mexico City the other would probably have to be in America maybe a Canadian City.

The only problem with the idea is the Salary Cap issue. I think what has made the NFL so popular is the unpredictability of it. I mean one year a team could go 7-9 and miss the playoffs the next they could win the SB. If the league did split I don't see how they could have one unless it was only in name two different leagues. That would be collusion I would think.

Either way its not going to happen.

This is how they run soccer all over the world and it works for that sport but I think soccer is a lot larger internationally. If you split the leagues I think you would water down the talent level. I like watching Peyton Manning v. Tom Brady. If your scenario played out these types of match-ups would never happen.

Bull poo. The game would be better with twice the games played on Sunday or whenever

why exactly would there be twice the games played??

hell, a lot of people who have said this could happen have said it would lead to constriction because the smaller market teams would no longer get the same amount of revenue from revenue sharing, causing them to go belly up in a system where you NEED to spend more to be competitive.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      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.
