Is really interesting because the argument was always stadiums bring in business , create jobs, etc etc …. Seems now there’s plenty of studies that prove otherwise. Not sure why anyone would meet an owner half way on some of these expensive stadiums

Somewhat unrelated, but there's been articles about key state senators largely committing to voting against a stadium built in VA for the Commanders...
As it were, the topic of stadium deals for pro football franchises, I think, is somewhat regional, and largely depends on where you're building. For example, there's a reason why the Giants/Jets stadium isn't built in downtown NYC, or why they'll likely never build a new Commanders stadium in downtown DC. Obviously cities have land issues with building a complex of size, but most major cities already have tourism that generates significant enough revenue that they don't need pro football franchises to drum up demand.
That being said, most of the cities these stadiums are built in very much DO need that economic stability. Anybody want to go to bat that St Louis or Oakland look like booming, smart economies at the moment, since they refused to participate in subsidizing stadiums for those teams? Not too many people I know out there saying "yeah, I can't wait for my vacation or tourism trip to Oakland this year".
There are smaller cities or areas where pro football franchises represent a large portion of the economy, and therefore subsidizing makes all the sense in the world. Other areas don't need it.
Its geographical.

I hope Baker leads the Panthers to a better record than whatever record Watson leads the Browns to whenever he plays. Baker is in a good place in Carolina, I will happily root for him when watching Panthers games... except ours.

Ah yes... Baker was too immmature and childish and his behavior divided the locker room... and Deshaun is a saint? They trying to save face by trying to say Baker was the problem to deflect from idk, all the character issues their new QB has? Now I really hope Baker goes off in week one and the Panthers win in a blowout.

Zach Wilson will either have a MVP type of season (like 38 TDs to 5 INTs) or he'll regress from last year. There is no between now.

Speaking as someone who is in their early 30's, there is nothing wrong with hooking up with an older woman. So for Zach to do so at his age.... respect but that goes out the window week 1.

Hey, bro. We know you gotta get that X-Box somehow. No shame in the hustle. AARP has its benefits.

I mean the easy argument for them is... has Watson shown childish or immature behavior while with Houston? Or really given anybody any reason to question his ability as a QB?
I think fans overall do a pretty terrible job of blending these two concepts. There's a pretty long, lengthy, history of precedent of players being great teammates, players, even coaches, etc. who were total douche bags off the field. Our own franchise has a history of that for certain.
They want somebody who's mature and not childish IN THE LOCKER ROOM. Is there concern about that with Watson? The concern with Watson is he needs constant rub and tugs. But on gameday, he's been nothing but "elite" quite frankly.

Homie hopper is just mad she lost out on her free meal ticket. I have so much respect for Zach now
yes, but he's got a gf and the real question is if the moms best friend is married. The other thing is it's your moms best friend....what were you thinking?????
