I don't see how Tepper is in the running since there's a FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR difference in the bids.

One, you're allowed to increase your bid. Two, while everyone expects Richardson to pick the highest bidder, he's not guaranteed to do that, and the NFL has been lobbying for him to choose Tepper.

Just saw an item online that said Tepper sold off a bunch of airline stock. Didn't think anything about it at the time, and don't know how much he got for it, but it occurs to me that he could conceivably be seeking some liquid cash in preparation to up his bid.

I wouldn't bet on that alone being enough to make up the difference, but it could be part of something larger.

Because he's the guy the NFL wants and the other owners have to approve the sale.

Ultimately though, he's probably gonna have to increase his bid if he ultimately wants to be chosen. I don't think for a moment that he's unaware of this. He's probably just trying to see exactly how much of a lowball offer he can get away with.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
