Got his infrastructure built for him with our money, and did it in such a way that fans have to buy tickets in order to not lose their initial investment. Then he raised prices while purposely giving us a lesser product last year just so he could pocket the extra money and build a war chest to use as leverage while he locks out his workers until they agree to work longer hours for less money. All this while he's already profitable.

Jerry might just be ahead of the curve. We didn't have the pieces in place to win a title, so why not clean house before the storm? I understand your feelings about this, but JR answers to folks as well (49% or so). In the end and with hindsight, we should be better off.

I think Jerry thought we could win with the young players. And next season, we will be glad they played. We get the following back: Williams, Stewart will be healthy, Otah, Davis, Wharton, Connor. Rookies from 2010 who could see tremendous improvement: Clausen, Edwards, Lafell, Gettis, Norwood (D fits him nicely at SLB), Hardy, Pike, and Pugh.

Meanwhile, we are millions beneath the cap.

Healthy. We have to sign about 3 UFAs and retain about 3.

And for those who think he screwed up by speaking to Manning the way he did, consider this:

1. What would Manning say to JR if he poked his head into his huddle and questioned his play-calling? Ask Jeff Saturday how that turned out.

2. It was the players who made that public. If you have a meeting behind closed doors, keep it there.

3. JR never butts into the coaching of the team. He stays out of the papers and rarely gives interviews. The reason? The press maniplates, twists, fabricates, etc. He wants the focus to be on the product. He is not interested in showboating, attracting attention to himself, feeding his ego like Jones, Davis, or other owners. However, Manning was playing his game, and JR schooled him. Don't for one minute think that his knowledge of Xs and Os converts makes him knowedgeable about dollars and cents.

JR is trying to preserve the league to keep the locusts from eating more than half the crop. We are a small market team. Appreciate him.

It gets me how people can support the players and gripe about ticket prices.

This really should have been a topic of discussion at the town hall meeting last night. ;)

      Is this the wrong place to ask?  Help me please!!   I'm taking my 12 year old to his first game.  We would like to get there early.  Are there any kid friendly tailgating areas?   Thanks in advance

      Bryce contingency plan?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Honestly Bryce is a conundrum right now I'm not really sure what we should do with him but I am content on him being the quarterback number one going into next season. I think we should allow him the chance to play out the season to prove that he's the quarterback he can be going into next season.  I would not waste a high draft pick on a quarterback because I'm not sure anyone in this up and coming class is as good or has the ceiling that he had with that said I wouldn't throw away the future I would bring in someone like Justin Fields to have him looking over his shoulder and give us a plan b if everything doesn't go right on a one-year deal. I think the priority right now if tepper wants to make a big splash is find a way to get Travis Hunter that would be option 1AA because he helps with both sides of the field either way whatever you need defense or offense. Make that happen and then go mostly defense the rest of the way and we're cooking.
