I'm hoping we hear Ed DeBartolo Jr's name comes into play. He helped 49ers win their championships. I heard right when Richardson wanted to sell team he was interested. I think he would be the best choice by far. I want a winner and will spend money and quit being cheap.

I read a lot on here about JR and the Panthers organization being "cheap". There is a salary cap last I heard. It is the same for all teams. What exactly are you talking about?

No thanks we already have a cheap owner don't want another cheap one .

Again ....we have a salary cap. How are JR, the Panthers, or any owner cheap? Can no one answer the question?  A team, managed properly, can not risk spending the entire cap prior to the season starting.

The owners have to write the signing bonus and Jerry tried to get tax payers $$ for stadium upgrades . Pretty cheap don't you say ?

Does either one prevent us from following a winning team. It is a business. As far as I know all owners have plied the local taxpayers for funding of any new stadium. Signing bonuses would be part of the GMs job. But again there a limits

...and how do you know he’s the “leading candidate”?

He's been reported to be by NFL Network reporters, among others.

He's already in the NFL club as a part owner of the Steelers (basically following the same path Haslam did). The league is said to favor him, and they have final approval on the sale.

Other than his initial comment saying he was interested, I haven't seen much if any mention of DeBartolo since.

Now, if he signed a confidentiality agreement, that might be expected. But everybody else would have signed one too and we're still hearing their names.

Pretty much every reporter and analyst talking about the sale right now is saying it's between Tepper and Navarro. The Fertitta brothers were said to be in the mix but apparently dropped out.

Anything can happen of course, but barring something unforeseen, I expect it to be Tepper.

Whatever it takes to win I'm on board with. 

Players with characters concerns 

Stadiums with rave like atmospheres 

Whatever 

The more change the better I say. 

Players with character concerns are where I kind of hesitate, and not necessarily for strictly moral reasons.

Anybody who's assaulted a woman, committed domestic violence or anything like that, absolutely I object to for moral reasons. Guys with other issues? It's more practical.

A lot of teams have found themselves burned because they put themselves in the position of relying on someone who had already given them evidence that he was unreliable. In a couple of cases, that contributed to teams losing Super Bowls.

Obviously, that's a case-by-case thing. As a whole though, I'm wary.

I doubt its the bidders signing confidentiality agreemwnts for the owner.

It would be those who work for and around the bidders who sign them. The lawyers and accountants and consultants the bidders hire working on the bid process would be required by the bidders to keep quiet during the process. We know the team is for sale as the owner indicated this to the public.

Well technically, none of these guys are necessarily handling their own business.  It's all done through the lawyers.

How extensive those agreements are, and what the consequences are for breaking them, who knows?

No. That’s frugal. Stupid(ish) that Charlotte paid. And how is paying signing bonuses cheap?

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      By spydaman27 · Posted

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
