Gantt: Sale process "ramping up"


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I wonder, if a potential owner were to ask to watch the draft from the Panthers war room, would they say yes?

Tepper, for example, is technically still affiliated with the Steelers. Not that I believe he'd spy or any such, but the team may have protocols about that sort of thing.

Of course, if you say no to him, and then he does buy the team, welp...

With a solid and accepted bid then yes. With a bidding process ongoing no. He will also be actively selling the Steelers ownership. I wonder if that’s being monitored at all or is all back channel.

Guess we'll see.

Honestly, by the time the draft rolls around, we should probably know who the new owner is gonna be.

It's not even about the highest price. Jerry has the final say, and I'm sure he would like to keep his legacy as in tact as possible. Going with Tepper, via the Rooney's seems like a way for him to maintain some sort of control over the situation, and pass his baby into like minded hands for the future.

If he's concerned about his legacy, keeping the team in the Carolinas should be a major consideration. Navarro seems to be best choice from that perspective.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
