I can tell you the Panthers FO has always kept an eye on the Jags since the teams came into the league at the same time... it's the only really comparable measuring stick there is and the Panthers FO feels VERY good about what the Panthers have accomplished vs. what the Jags have accomplished over the same period of time.

Just look at the seating situation... Panthers have had 93 straight sellouts as a result of folks plunking down thousands of dollars each, just for the right to buy a season ticket while the Jags have covered large sections of the stadium to reduce the total # of seats and still can't avoid blackouts.

False.

This is what I was talking about.

Why? For calling Cam the best rookie QB? Cause that's what that link shows.

5 people said Gabbert, and got called idiots for doing it.

And to the guy above me, Jaguars haven't had a blackout in a few years, so wrong.

Right, because they covered large sections of seats with tarps and they are still consistently flirting with the possibility of a blackout:

Last season, not one home game was blacked out — a major accomplishment for a team that had every home game but two blacked out in 2009.

And for the record, they just barely escaped a blackout this past season:

The Jaguars final home game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday will be televised in the Jacksonville area after enough non-premium tickets were sold to lift the blackout.

The game is not a sellout and tickets are still available.

The Jaguars were granted a 24-hour extension by the NFL on Thursday and had about 4,000 tickets available. They have not had a home game blacked out the past two seasons.

Sunday's game will feature a tribute to team owners Wayne and Delores Weaver. This is their final game as owners, with Shahid Kahn set to take over the franchise on Wednesday.

Hmmm... wonder who paid 34 cents on the dollar to buy up enough tickets in order to avoid a blackout?

Look, I'm a die hard Jaguar fan, and Panthers have always been my number 2 team, but why so much hate towards the Jags?

Sure, we MIGHT be taking Chud, but you have Cam Newton! He'll be fine.

Is it just the fact that you guys hate anyone who isn't the Panthers?

I honestly want to know!

I like the Panthers! Why can't you guys not hate the Jags?

Alright, I'm sure I'll get flamed.

You're not from around here, are you?:D

Well, you guys got me. Clearly, Panther fans are better people then Jaguar fans, and just overall the Jaguars are awful.

The Panthers are overall the more successful franchise (even though statistically they aren't) and the Jags are a bunch of jokes.

Gotcha.

      Thielen traded

      By electro's horse · Posted

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

      Love the way Duke came out and dominated Elon in the second half. Did not love the way they played at all in the first half. Got a lot of missed tackles on film for this week and the next game's not gonna be easy at all.
