Clicked on the thread expecting a story about Steve Smith wanting to buy the Panthers.

You and I should buy this team after Jerry passes. Open season on clowns in opposing jerseys and Super Bowls x 50.

As long as they remain 100% hands off on the football side, the richer the better.  We NEED an indoor practice facility, the sooner the better.  And with contracts like the Suh contract last year a reality in the salary cap era (never mind the fact it was a BAD deal), the ABILITY for an owner to write a check for $60 million guaranteed to a defensive tackle without breaking a sweat is an asset.

If this were baseball, I might agree. But this is the socialist, salary capped NFL.

Yes but that contract in particular was structured in a way that required an instant guaranteed $60 million check.  Stupid, yes, and the salary cap is an equalizer in the free market (although it penalizes teams that draft well), but having an owner richer than others (which Smith still wouldn't be close to being, just more $$$ than JR), can't hurt.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
