Am I the only one that doesn't see what the big deal is about this whole Bounty thing? The whole thing seems pretty silly to me especially with the amount of money that was involved. It's not like it was a real incentive. Sh*t has been going on for years. Back when Buddy Ryan did it in 1989 it was damn near applauded by the media, coaches, players, and fans....now everyone is so p*ssy hurt by it. I just don't get it.

Im ok with bounties for stats like sacks, big hits, ints and all. But are you guys saying you are ok with bounties to injure players or get them out of the game? Im sure if you were a player that got injured because of this and couldn't play anymore you would be singing a different toon.

not saying I am ok with it Salty...I'm just saying I'm pretty sure it happens everywhere...maybe just between groups, or buddies or whatever.

I just think all teams do it....what's the difference between that and going after the injured ankle of a player to get him out of a game? All players do that and it's accepted. That's why teams will tape up both ankles of a player to try and mask which is the injured one.

I know times have changed and with player safety such a hot topic something has to be done. No argument there but...

I guess just reading some of the threads around here and the unhealthy obsession a handful of people have with it (and all things Saints I guess) makes it seem like it is the biggest scandal in NFL history. I haven't been watching much Sportscenter in the last month or two so all I have to go on is what I see here but it is almost as if Gregg Williams and Co. nailed Christ back to the cross. (My apologizes to those offended by my distasteful reference).

      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.
