All of the recent progress in negotiations was made without lawyers present during mediation. With the lawyers back, i wouldn't expect this thing to happen to quickly. Without lawyers it is a little easier to discuss what is best for the NFL as a whole. The lawyers are hired to strictly do what is in the best interest of their clients regardless of the reprocussions it may have on the future of the NFL.

Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal cautions not to get "carried away by the hype" of an impending labor agreement this week.

Profootballtalk is hearing the same, suggesting that Tuesday's run-away hope and optimism are "not fully warranted." ESPN's Adam Schefter reports lawyers nearly "blew up the process" on Tuesday before NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith ordered them to "stand down." Per Schefter, there is still plenty of optimism over the talks, but a deal isn't nearly as close as Tuesday's reports suggested. Early-to-mid July is more realistic.

Ain't that the truth. I have to sit on ethics and arbitration panels several times year and every time there are lawyers involved the hearings take 3 times longer than if it's just the 2 parties.

They can't help themselves.

      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

      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.
