Nixon has 10 years of nfl experience. No nfl OC experience though.

Did the original article really say that!?! Lol…he must be using some kind of AI article writer or speech to text with heavy grammar correct. No way he actually typed that out. I can see how a speech to text program would interpret fire (heavy southern accent) to ‘fore’. What a lazy bum.

So the OP expects players to criticize their coach during press conferences? I watched Burn’s interview. He was clearing trying to keep it positive. His words weren’t coming from the heart.

Most of those reliable accounts are people employed by these media outlets though. You’re not going to have a world where joe blow from target is breaking nfl exclusives on his break. Point is, someone is paying for those people to tweet and break news.

Sure, they want some of those assets before they disappear. They see a brand name and a million some subscribers. This is like Rhule (nyt) and Darnold (athletic). Rhule (nyt) sees that strong arm (subscribers) and former high draft pick (cool brand) and thinks their genius will turn it around. Let’s send a 2nd pick and millions of cap dollars to get him! Maybe. But in all likelihood nyt will drop it for low performance in a few years and eat that big chunk of change.

Buying a company on the verge of bankruptcy is hardly an example of monopoly making. The athletic is too big to survive in its current form because not enough people want to subscribe (see constant huddle complaints about it not being free). The times will eventually kill it or turn it into something else.

You act like those little stations were forced to sell at gun point. The athletic was spending over $50 million while making $35 million. It was probably a year or so from shutting down. Selling it at least gives it a chance to live on a while longer.

Yep, and they don’t have a single chess player on that staff. Matt needs to realize he is a college culture builder. Not an NFL strategist. He’ll be a lot more successful following the path he’s good at.

That is very true. I also think him and his guys are just not good at the X’s and O’s. They don’t know how to put their guys in the best places to succeed at this level. They’re getting out coached because they don’t know what they don’t know.

Billboards are not digital ads. You could run targeted display ads on the Charlotte observer, etc but something like that may not be approved. A facebook/insta ad targeted to all CLT residents would be funny too. You’d have to soften the message though as there is no way FB would approve a direct “fire Rhule” ad. They’d most likely ban you for it.

Don’t forget. Our O line had the lowest grade in PFF history a few weeks back.

Right before that final snap when he threw the pick, they zoomed in on his face. He looked scared to death.

TBH…the QB of the future is probably still in middle school. Its going to be a long wait.

Yep, that kind of bad press will do that. He needs to think long term and realize he’ll be under a national microscope next year with no QB and no Oline. He can guarantee himself millions of college dollars by quitting and saying something like “I realize now my talents, methods, and passions are in the college game.”

For the sake of his own career, he should quit now. If he doesn’t turn things around next year (unlikely) he’ll find himself in Adam Gase territory. Un-hirable.

I’m glad you finally stopped camming.

My point is he’s making so much more elsewhere that the bottom line of this team doesn’t matter to him. I think he’s in this for bragging rights.

You can’t equate team value and collected income. Also revenue does not equal profit. My home’s value jumped $50k this year, but I don’t have an extra $50k in the bank. There’s also no guarantee I’ll ever see that $50k if/when I sell. The $20 mil number I put out is prob a bit old. That comes from 2015 when Goodell was set to make $20-30 mil a year in his new contract and some owners were reportedly upset because some of them didn’t even make that much. All we know about team and owner income is what we see from the packers since all their info is public. The packers made a $70 mil profit in 2019 and had a loss of $40 mill in 2020. Im sure the panthers profit is less than what the packers pull in. Now, let’s look at Tepper. If he just generates a 5% return (very conservative) on his $12 billion in wealth, that would be $600 million a year in cash income. A nfl team is a solid investment but Tepper doesn’t need it and I doubt that income is important to him.

I don’t buy this for one simple reason. Money. Before the panthers, Tepper had individual years where he made multiple billions. Most NFL owners make less than 40 mill a year from their teams. NFL money is small potatoes compared to what he was doing. He shut that business down (mostly) to focus on the panthers and charity work. The man clearly wants what money can’t buy. A legacy. He wants to win and he wants to be ‘that guy’ in the nfl. Will he ever become a nfl success story? Who knows.

JR prob doesn’t know what day it is. All that money but can’t enjoy it.

Hopefully this is Tepper pulling a Rhule. Praising and talking him up before trading him for a bag of beans.

The Panthers are quickly getting the rep of a dysfunctional org. Tepper isn’t going to stand for that as it reflects directly on him.

SC loves corporate handouts.

Yay…a new place to watch the team lose. Charlotte City Council members approved a petition Monday to rezone one of the largest pieces of land available for development around uptown — land that has been eyed as the new home of an NFL football stadium.
