Serious (and not so serious) ownership predictions

Let's go ahead and engage in some unfounded speculation (unlike what we usually do here).

Things you predict could happen depending on which bidder wins the Panthers sale, whether serious or... not so much.

 

If David Tepper buys the team...

Someone from the Steelers front office takes over as GM.

The "family" atmosphere is gone. From here on out it's all business.

Upgrades to team facilities and maybe even an indoor practice facility could become possibilities.

The team institutes a reward program where the player who makes a difference in the game gets a set of brass balls instead of the game ball.

 

If Ben Navarro buys the team...

A consultant is brought in to help overhaul the team's operation. Joe Gibbs could be an option.

The team will make more of an effort to market in South Carolina.

Training camp most likely stays in South Carolina, but may not stay at Wofford.

People who get behind on their PSL or season ticket payments suddenly start getting aggressive collection goals.

 

If Alan Kestenbaum buys the team...

Justified or not (and probably not) people start talking about the possibility of the team moving to Canada.

A consultant likely comes into play here too, maybe a guy like Ernie Accorsi.

The team motto becomes "Keep poundin, eh."

(yes I know he's originally from Brooklyn; don't take it so seriously)

 

What else ya got?

Dave Tepper would run the franchise like George Bluth

Ben Navarro would run the franchise like Jack Donaghy 

Alan Kestenbaum would run the franchise like Sam Malone

 

Me personally, I want someone to run the franchise like Frank Reynolds runs paddy's pub.

George Soros buys the team. He then institutes a "guns-for-tickets" program, whereby fans can trade in their guns for game tickets so the guns can be melted into an Obama statue. Everyone with a red MAGA hat will angrily boycott the team, but the business will remain profitable through a successful tenure that includes re-signing Cam and Luke as well as hiring 9/11 truther Pete Carroll to both coach the team and put up a new locker room sign, "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams."

      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 wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      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.
