let's see what the annual Blueprint epi shows behind the scenes It also could be more maturity in the HC role going into year three (has it been two years with Dan/Dave already?)

Seeing mixed reviews of draft grades. PFF (and others) are saying A+. Sports Illustrated says C+ I'm leaning towards the more positive side

Yes, use AI to help with organizing data But whomever is using the AI tool needs to ensure the data going in is correct, and that they are skilled in prompting what task to perform so the human can analyze the output AI running amok on its own is a Bad Idea.

Short response: Don't believe anything verbatim from any AI platform when it comes to current news events. (Longer response available upon request)

Of all the coaches we've ever had.... we've had worse. of all the head coaches in the NFL today.... there are worse. DC has upside. I'm also optimistic. (He learning and making adjustments, like handing off play calling)

If you were the NFL or the Panthers marketing team [whomever makes these decisions] and had 100% total control over rebranding the team (like how the Bucs rebranded away from the creamscicle orange and "Bucco Bruce" mascot/logo and installed the pirate ship in the end zone).... what would you do? Name and location stays the same - it's still the "Carolina Panthers"... but everything else is eligible for rebranding. Colors, mascot, logo.... have at it (keep the panther eyes in the end-zone graphic package, unless you come up with something better)

Continues to explain the significantly higher grade received on this years' players survey vs previous years. Positive upswing keeps upswinging

From NFL Reporter Matt Lombardo: "The NFL's Biggest Free Agency Winners, according to executives who know" https://bsky.app/profile/mattlombardo.bsky.social/post/3mh6bozlgbc2x

thx. other than the potential for 1 year players to show off their impact and potentially make more $$, are there any other upsides for a player viewpoint to want a 1 year contract?

was curious about why all the one year deals. Does that help or hurt for next season in terms of resigning? it should help with the cap, I'd expect.

NFL reporter Matt Lombardo has some nice things to say: I’m so beyond all-in on the Panthers’ free agency moves, and GM Dan Morgan may be one of the biggest winners, so far. https://bsky.app/profile/mattlombardo.bsky.social/post/3mgxahfuags2a

Falcons officially released Kirk Cousins

bring it. can't wait to hear all the crying in baseball when that happens

still better than that mess of whatever baseball does

Panthers have agreed to terms on a 1-year deal with OLB Trevis Gipson, per a league source. https://bsky.app/profile/mikekayefootball.bsky.social/post/3mgs6dalah22s

HAHAHAHAHHAHA (breathe) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA https://bsky.app/profile/miketanier.bsky.social/post/3mgrsnaveak22

doublechecked the text in the Observer article. Yup, their math is wrong. Shouldn't that read $80 ? And that wouldn't support the "only" qualifier in that sentence

imagine the concession demands of a Costco-sponsored stadium It'll be better than the Falcons $5 meal deals (that are actually pretty decent for the price)

Merch sales The packers team store is huge, and makes a ton of money. Easily at least 10x the size of the dinky Panthers store at BoA

percentages can be misleading. a 5% change for a $100 ticket is a $5 difference, but it's $25 for a $500 ticket but a $5 change to a $50 dollar ticket is a 10% increase. It's still a $5 increase, but people who look just at the percentage could scream about the higher percentage number vs other seats

Packers increasing from $4 to $22 per game Saints staying the same Patriots are increasing "a little more than 7%" Bears increase 13.5% Lions staying the same-ish Dolphins staying the same

Unsure how "most affordable" is written to refer to the $500 seats.
