Rosters could expand...

I like this change more than the defenseless player one, that's for certain. Though, this will obviously effect the cap.
if the roster size grows, the cap will grow along with it. the two ideas are married together.
I hope they do this without extending regular season games..
doubtful this happens unless its just one or two spots added.

if its extended, it will be switching two pre-season games into regular season games. that's it. only thing is that the players will get paid for them being regular season games and will be exposing their bodies to wear and tear in games that matter rather than games that don't matter. fans that go to them will be paying full price to see a regular season game rather than full price for a try out.

i'm just having a hard time seeing a problem with two regular season games replacing two preseason games (unless it's a season like last year for the panthers).

i do, however, have a problem with requiring it and at the same time telling the players that there is going to be less money available for salaries. work more, but earn less? you can't expect anyone to be happy about that except owners.

I can't accept that 2 preseason games equal 2 regular season games..

and it's not just that simple.. I don't see the 1st stringers sitting out most of the 2 preseason games because now you only have 2: the team needs to gel.

so now you are playing closer to 20 full games (think minutes, not just games) than 16 full and 4 blah..

I just don't accept it's that cut and dry, and won't wear down our team more by playing more overall minutes throughout a season, when our team already has (typically) had an uphill battle when it comes to injuries.

Owners would rather play the Pre-season games. If we have more regular season games its cause of the players.

based on what?

the owners want more revenue, the players don't want to grind their bodies down..

never have I heard the opposite.... really curious where you can source that information.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
