If you want to think about how fast time flies though, consider this: Jerry Richardson is 79 years old and everyone is worried about what will happen when he dies. When the Panthers first started playing in 1995, Jerry Richardson was 58 years old. That's 2 years younger than John Fox is right now.

 

My point is: We're all hurtling down the train tracks towards death! :)

Can't wait till Michael Jordan buys it.

 

But seriously...please let something get done. Some kind of written agreement that keeps them here, from a future new owner or whatever. If/when the team were ever in serious relocation talks...a core of Cam/Kuechly is a damn easy sell to deep pockets and a city like LA.  Get something done, Charlotte.

I personally think it's sickening that NFL teams (not just the Panthers) squeeze tax money out of the local population when they are part of the most profitable sports league on the planet. But we put pressure on our local politicians because of our emotional connection to our teams. We dont want to lose our team, so we advocate paying whatever tax money they want to stay. The teams have their host cities by the balls (figuratively speaking) and they use that leverage to their advantage.

i seem to remember some nfl franchise recently dealing with legal issues over that.... cant for the life of me think of who it might be. surely they dont play in the Panthers' division though... surely the owner doesnt also own an NBA team or anything...

Happened with the Raiders. Mark Davis got a HUGE tax bill to pay.

      We had Sam Darnold

      By MHS831 · Posted

      And timing is everything.  You don't build the roof of a house before you build the foundation.  Teams that draft #1 overall tend to go for QBs and put them in impossible situations.  Our coach sucked.  Our OL sucked (even when Cam was here, but he could overshadow that deficiency), etc.  They seem to have the idea down (Morgan?) but when Bryce gets paid, you can't have $100m going to the OL and $50m to the QB and still have WRs and a Defense.   We have to develop our talent and be prepared to let them walk and retool.  I am still a bit upset by the Horn CB deal.  Look at the salary we have locked up at OG and CB....Yikes. If it were not for MJackson and Coker, we would have been in deep poopie.   I am still fairly optimistic, and I have accepted the fact that Bryce will be our CB for at least another season.  He is improving, but I do not like the fact that he needs so much investment in the OL and WRs to be average--before his mega deal.  I am hoping we draft an QB with potential to develop on day 3 and see what we can do with him.  Long shot, but some of the top names in 2024 are going to be taken late this draft.  Like Purdy (I wanted him around round 5 or 6), or Ewers from last season.  I like several QBs who may not even be drafted, like the kid from Vanderbilt.  I also like Mateer from Oklahoma.  Raw, but a year on the bench could help.

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.

      We had two shots at #1. Hell, we had them on the roster at the same time. Darnold and Mayfield both.
