"The Carolina Panthers announced today that a definitive agreement has been signed to sell the team to David Tepper, the founder and president of global hedge fund Appaloosa Management, L.P. and a well-known philanthropist. "

Ding dong the Witch is officially dead. I can't express the happiness that I feel right now now. Tears of joy.

The cancer of this organization is gone. The single biggest road block to this franchises success is gone. For the first time since 1995, there a is legitimate NFL franchise in the Carolinas. We are no longer an embrassment. We are no longer a Mickey Mouse operation. 

Jerry Richardson has been a garbage human being since day 1. He fooled a majority of this fan base, but ultimately the truth always comes out. We can all finally cheer for a team without feeling dirty. Without feeling guilty. The trash has been taken out.

i know i do not get along with all of you on here, but I am truly happy for every single one of you. For the first time in your lives you will have the opportunity to be passionate about a real franchise. Even if you don't realize is it now, you will realize it extremely shortly.

Today is the third greatest day in this franchises history behind the two NFC Championship games. The Cancer is finally gone. The garbage has been taken out. Go out and celebrate today because it's worth celebrating.

You know what's weird? That's almost certainly the last public statement we'll ever hear from Jerry Richardson.

I was just thinking about this. I wasn’t sure if he was going to make s public apology or just go away. Sounds like he is just going away

So who bought the guys stake in the Steelers? He had to sell that before hand correct?

I've heard/read somewhere that the league will take over the sale of that for him so as to eliminate any any conflict of interest.  Not sure how accurate that is.

I still remember some guy on this board questioning my character and calling me a bad person when I said we should be critical of Jerry Richardson's decision making. 

 

Man was that guy wrong

You're coming down pretty hard on the old man. Are you talking about his personal, professional life, or both? I mean, I didn't like the way it seemed like he tanked the franchise after the CBA, and that had terrible repercussions, but I think for the most part, he tried to do a good job bringing a championship here pre-CBA. My thing is that I believe that a person's personal value system rears its head in their business, and I didn't ever fully respect Richardson after some of the things I had read about him. I have never understood the deity-like reverence that some Huddlers had for him, and I always believed that he was an egomaniacal champion of quintessential cultural aspects of the Southern tradition, including the ones steeped in notions of good ol' boy paternalism and patronizing attitudes toward cultural evolution and progression, but he isn't all bad. He is not so unlike lots of men in his position (and many who aren't), which is not to say it's not a bad thing, but it is what it is. I just hope Tepper is a genuinely better human being. If he is, I believe it will bode for a better overall team and organization.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
