This is relevant. Game wouldn't be what it was today without him. Maybe no Panthers.

God bless you, Steve.

@richeisen: All of us here at @nflnetwork are crestfallen and mourn the loss of the genius and iconoclast Steve Sabol. May he rest in peace.

All my life I have loved NFL Films. Every part of it. I love this game so much an NFL Films was such a huge part of it. It always truly captured how extraordinary our game is, and put such a deep respect for this sport inside of me because of it. Because of that, I always had a gret respect for Steve, the man who understood the greatness of this sport and and showed it so well. I hate to lose Steve. I really, truly, looked up to him and it's a sad day for the entire sport.

Regardless of what team your a fan of, none of our allegiances would have any significance if Steve hadn't done the work the good Lord put him here to do. There was no more important a man into making the game what it was. He built the sport moreso than any player, coach, or owner, and he will be missed.

Very sad day. This man's work got me through a lot of sick days on the couch when I was a kid, boring college afternoons waiting for practice, and lots of late nights when my wife has passed out early I still peruse the TV listings to see if any of his work is airing.

RIP to a legend, you will never be forgotten. Sad, sad day.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
