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.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
