fuging outrageous that this doofus caters to the demands of soccer players that don't even play for his team but won't listen to the demands of his own players. I'm way happier with how this offseason has gone than his first 5 years but damn Tepper this is the easiest fuging thing to do to make players and fans happy and he still won't budge.

How much money you sending if it's so easy?

 

Get the board together and let's start a GoFundMe account. I will throw 1k in the pot to get this thing done.

I didn't say it'd be cheap, Tep has the money

Tepper is worth 18.5 billion I'm sure he can figure out how to keep real grass and still keep the lights on.

I love how they put grass down for the traveling soccer teams each time. It’s so deflating knowing that Tepper ultimately values flexibility for his entertainment biz vs winning or player safety. 
 

 

Like, they would only have to put grass down 10 times all year.  Its not like the NFL plays a poo ton of games or anything.

We should all take to Twitter and make a big deal about how awesome this is for the team so that Tepper doesn't have any choice but to keep it. 

Seriously only way is to make this a viral story

Considering he has billions, Tepper can easily afford to have a grass field that would be safer for the players.
 
 "Grass is a significantly safer surface than turf," JC Tretter, NFLPA president said
 
The association reviewed past data and found that 10 of the previous 11 years showed that the injury rate on synthetic versus natural surfaces was considerably higher.

The only way it changes is if the NFLPA bans turf. Which I think is right around the corner.

Unfortunately, that is what this may come down to. The CBA has to hold the line. No sod, no trod. 

 

To bad the next CBA isn't until 2030. So, it may take some drastic measures. 

 

Force the NFL to abide by its "We're all for player safety" line. 

 

Fingers crossed.

The only problem I see is that dome teams cannot have grass fields.  Do you force them to build new stadiums? Good luck with that.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
