You realize to a billionaire that would be like you ordering off the Burger King value menu and using coupons and a senior discount right ?

It’s more aggressive than that. 

Let’s say the average net worth is 1.2 million (I know it’s high but for numbers sake go with it)

1.2m dollars can buy 60 million .02 cent hamburgers

12 billion will let you order 60 million 200$ A5 steaks

 

if you were worth 12 billion an A5 steak has the same dollar value as rich 1.2million net worth individual spending 2 pennies.  

 

And tepper per may be worth far more than 12b and the avg American doesn’t have 1.2m. Nuts.

You don't know how much money I have! :)

Yea, of course I get that. All I'm saying is that we're really latching on to what one billionaire said about another billionaire over the price of a meal at a restaurant. I think Felix said it jokingly and we're comparing it to Tepper spending money on contracts.

I’m not sure why people are concerned about an owner and paying player contracts. There is a salary cap and a salary floor. To be competitive (I.e. successful) spending you max cap space is a wise financial move. I believe tepper or 99% of buyers would agree regardless of frugality. Where tepper might go crazy Is concessions, GM, coaching, ticket pricing. But again he wants the best business and understands you have to spend to make. I’m not nervous if Tepper wins that we start dollar shopping for a team.

Agreed. That's what I was trying to say but I decided against it because I couldn't find the words.

Jerry Richardson always said he wanted us to be like the Steelers, but we never really were.

If Tepper gets the team, I believe we will be.

What does that mean? Heavy heavy heavy emphasis on drafting, frugal free agency, contract battles with emerging stars and, sometimes, letting them walk.

Think Gettleman on steroids.

Granted, dual ownership works for the Giants, but I'm not a fan of the idea.

Neither is the NFL, but they are big fans of David Tepper...and his money.

Just curious, cus I haven't seen you outline it, what makes you want Navarro over Tepper?

Biggest factor: Navarro has a passion to own the Panthers. And specifically the Panthers, not just any NFL team.

Not that I think Tepper would be a bad owner (just the opposite) but It's an investment for him.

I'd prefer the guy who really really wants it.

Jerry Richardson actually has better qualities than both. Open air stadium, Carolina roots, classy, rich, smart, not afraid to spend.......No back to back winning seasons and a scandal to boot. 

 

There is no right owner. I want a winner. I don’t care if he’s from SC or Croatia.

As a PSL holder, it will be the end for me....it’s actually the end  for me now in The sense  that I can’t sell the two PSLs without the new stadium questions being settled and if it is to a new location, my PSLs do not matter   

Nothing lasts forever. 

I will say that whoever that new ownership is best make it palatable for existing PSL owners to make that move.

Not many in this area are willing to make the year over year commitment those PSLs take

think im kidding...we have all gotten very spoiled by Cam Newton and Luke.  Trying driving 2hrs up and 3.5hrs back to see Jimmy Claussen or a QB named Brian St Pierre,

    • 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.
