WSOC: Panthers bidder a humble man

The video is worth a watch, but this quote from former Charleston mayor Joe Riley stood out to me...

Quote

He said Navarro also told him why he wants to buy the Panthers.

“First of all, to make sure it stayed in the Carolinas, stayed in Charlotte, and he saw it as an opportunity to make something even better,” Riley said.

So he wants the team in Charlotte, and he wants it to be the best it can be.

I'll take that.

The report also indicated Navarro wants to increase the Panthers involvement in the community and education.

Don't really care who buys the team now as long as it gets JR's demented ass out of the way along with Hurney and the rest of the FO.  It is well beyond time for the JR era to be over.

I did.  He doesn't worry me as an owner.  Personally I don't want another JR type running things. 

Navarro worries me that he will just be a younger version of JR.  We know how that plays out.

Billionaires doing billionaire things is all this is.

JR perhaps but not necessarily anyone else. As for Hurney, he is doing everything he can to set this team up for success. We have more talent on this roster today than at any time during Gettleman's time here. So far this time Hurney is hitting it out of the park.

If you want to crown him before this team he's assembled ever takes the field then by all means go ahead.  I'll wait to see how it all plays out before I decide how well he's done.  

And who said anything about Gettlemen?   This is about JR and his minions.  They all need the boot, Hurney included.

I can't totally disagree anymore.  As much as I hate to say it, it's time for JR to go.

Once they take the field it is no.longer on Hurney but the players and coaches. Hurney's job is to give the coaches and players the best talent he can assemble to make their jobs easier. He has clearly done that better than Gettleman ever did. His job will continue to be managing the talent if injuries occur and the roster changes. And yes it is about Gettleman and Hurney since many of you Hurney haters loved Gettleman when he was here and were so glad that Hurney got fired. Not only is Hurney back but he is showing he learned while he was gone. This time around he has done little to justify getting rid of him.

As I recall, you were Mike Shula's biggest fan too.

If you want to start another in a long line of GM debate threads, do it somewhere else. That's not what this thread is about.

Wait, so if Hurney's guys never amount to anything it's the coaches fault but it's Gettlemens fault that his plays didn't live up to expectations?   

I admit I preferred Gettlemens approach and the results that followed over anything Hurney ever did.  But you are the one that keeps bringing that up not me.  I am judging Hurney on his merits or lack thereof.

Not a fan of Shula but a fan of the Panthers and the team. Note I haven't said anything to defend Shula despite the constant barrage of criticism he still gets. The reason is he is no longer on the team and not my concern anymore. While I have some reservations about Norv what have I said publically? That I support him and think he will do a good job. I am not a fan of a player or coach but a defender of the players and team while they play for us. As for the GM debates, that is not my thing. But someone else will take it up I am sure. The main thing I said about Gettleman when it first started was that his ego got in the way with Norman and would cause big issues. I was proven right once again when that led to his firing.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play
    • TheSpecialJuan
      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
