Sad to say this will be my first thread here.

Just heard on ESPN2 - Chris Mortison - Talking about the teams that have not officially ruled out Vick (Pittsburg and New England) stating that our own coach FOX has not ruled him out either. Apparently this anchor thinks he would be a good fit here, and believes Fox is interested. (guess I should stay away from ESPN)

Sorry about another Vick thread...especially at the start of training camp.

Just reporting what is being said. I think we all know what it is worth, but even if remotely true would be a cause for serious concern.

Other than the fact that this could have probably gone in one of the eleventy-billion other Vick threads, that wasn't really directed at you... ESPN are a bunch of morons and you would think that with Tiger winning yesterday they would have plenty to talk about, but I guess with TC starting they have to talk about the NFL even if there's nothing to really talk about yet.

I would be worried if Fox said "No Comment at this time" to that question.

Exactly.

All the local beat writers (and former beat writers like Pay Y @ ESPN now) know what Fox really means. Mort just wants something to talk about. He's infamous and notorious for speculation and conjecture. There is 0% chance that the Panthers will ever sign vick. Furthermore, I move that the mods strike every mention of Vick’s name from here on out in the Carolina Panther’s thread. Thank you and happy Monday.

Fox would'nt publicly commit to wishing his wife a happy birthday. Vick will never play in Carolina as long as the Richardsons own the team. This was just a case of PFT mincing words to generate another post. Nothing to see here.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
