Looks like we have some financially challenged tools on our team.

Barely into the second month of the lockout, there's already been some disturbing news on the financial front for players. Players from at least 16 teams have at least shown interest in taking out short-term loans with high interest rates and fees, according to a report from ThePostGame.com. The report cited a source that indicated the interest rates range from 18 to 24 percent, and could rise to as high as 36 percent on default. "I know at least 16 different teams that have had players go out and have to set these [high-risk loans] up," said a financial adviser in the report. "Guys on the Dolphins, Saints, 49ers, Panthers, Chargers, Bears, Vikings."

Taking out loans that charge 24% interest?? Are you kidding me?

Hey man, Bling, Hoes, and Rims are NOT cheap!:wink5:

Those %'s sound right in line with a lot of the credit card rates today. If I was in their position I would probably explore a line of credit as well. Not everyone that makes $$$ also has decent credit. But just for poos and giggles let's throw some idiotic stereotypes out there...

Oh wait this is ok, right

Ok. So I take it you graduated from an institution like Dartmouth MIT or Duke?

No...But I did pay four years tuition at one of the above. My point is: most young players are not used to having that kind of money, and very few of them are responsible with it. BTW.....some folks lose sight (basketball aside) that Duke University is known as "The Harvard of the South", and yes, has a pretty tough Biology department. I would say that it's a bit harder, then say "Parks and Recreation" from Coastal Carolina.

Do they know how to spell 'lose' at Dook? :) Just fugging with you.

Having gone to a school that is in the same athletic conference at MIT, I have a lot more respect for them than I do Harvard. Harvard is all about the rep.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
