Start a funny yard sign contest for Panthers fans and have them post the pictures on their social media page. It will take off trust me.

Yeah. Okay how do we expand on that to get that rolling? Something to ponder.

Maybe the prize is you get your sign blown up on a billboard?

You decide on the prize. Maybe you can get someone to donate their games tickets. Although that's not a prize but you get the idea.

Lol. I was think of it not as me, but a collective thing. My prize slush fund is pretty meager. 

Might consist of a personally donated service at this point. I wouldn't call my income situation fixed. More like broken.

I live in a place that the property taxes and insurance have me on a strict budget. It has gotten crazy.

I think we all can relate to all of that.

It could be any team too for that matter.

The idea was originally do not play Young any more. It came off of the rumor about he will start 7 games or whatever that was. 

I was pissed hearing it and tired of arguing over it and was trying to get some humorous dialog going instead of the contentious stuff. 

My original idea was simply one of those red circles with the line struck through it like they use for no smoking no this no that,

And I was going to put the #9 part of Young's jersey inside that circle. I have crap image shopping skills or I'd have made that.

I was soliciting other ideas. Pretending it could get on a billboard. Really not being serious about it but would have enjoyed the other ideas, such as the Step Back Tep thing up there.

It evolved with Snow I think saying first that yard signs were a good idea, in relation to issues that could be created by doing a billboard, with the company or the team etc. 

And requires no real investment which I thought was a good idea too. Then it sort morphed into a contest concept. 

That's where we are. 

Looking to not really use Tepper as the butt of the joke but the recipient of the message.

I'm open to whatever there are no real rules or even official anything as of right now. Just have some fun with trying to be creative and stay out of trouble.

I had the idea that the old bottle cap puzzles which are like... image riddles I guess, could be a good way to not directly say something but maybe get people curious enough to solve it and maybe tell their friends about it. If it was done well maybe it gets popular and the message spreads and it just blows up on him.

That wasn't a real rumor from Kaye. That was literally idle speculation.

Tepper doesn’t need a billboard to remind him of his failures and his record as an owner. He would look at it and then have a good laugh knowing yall wasted good money on it.

You definitely aren't familiar with our owner.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
