...and outside the sports world.

Someone outside of the sports world buys the Carolina Panthers

Everyone in Charlotte thinks either some NASCAR team owner or local business leader will buy the Panthers, keep them in Charlotte and everything will forever and always be the same. I find that difficult to believe, because that ignores the fact that there are extremely wealthy people in this country who would love to own an NFL team simply so they can boast that they own an NFL team. Why won’t some hedge fund manager in New York, who’s liquid enough to run for political office and win, decide he’d rather have a shiny NFL toy? What about a co-founder of some tech company in Silicon Valley? You need to be able to write a check for $600 million on the spot to even be considered a controlling owner of an NFL team. The pool of people like that in this country is small, and it consists mostly of people of whom you’ve never heard.

Predictions for 2018

That it would be someone outside the sports world isn't exactly a huge leap.  Most team purchases aren't done by established sports personalities.  They don't have the kind of money to do something like this.

His first line probably isn't gonna make people very happy though.

fug, so no Eddie D? That's a bummer. Hope whoever it is doesn't meddle without knowing what they aren't doing ala Jimmy Haslam.

Pretty much.

He has a valid point about it not being a sports person, but outside of Jerry Richardson I can't honestly recall an athlete buying a sports team (Walter Payton was involved in an expansion effort in 95 but it failed) so that's not exactly a "bold prediction".

An out of towner?  Well, from what we've heard so far, four of the siz or so identified groups are from out of town.

As far as the moving stuff, I don't believe the Panthers will move.  I do, however, see the possibility of a move being threatened to try and get a new stadium.  Sabates has all but promised that, and I don't believe he'll be the only one with that line of thinking.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
