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. 

Still got a black cat as a mascot tho

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 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.

The reverence some Panther fans, including on here, had for him was nothing short of weird. Jerry Richardson was one of the single biggest frauds in the NFL. This man was a shill to the league and didn't give a poo about the fans.

His good ol' boy club was pathetic and hypocritical. He wasn't willing to take his head out of the NFL's ass and do everything possible to bring a championship to Carolina. People want to go on and on about how he was determined to keep a team in the Carolinas. That is complete bullshit and had nothing to do with the fans. He was doing that for he own legacy and own ego. If the Carolina Panthers move to Toronto or LA, there isn't a person in the world who remembers who Jerry Richardson is in a decade.

He was notoriously cheap when it came to paying assistant head coaches and front office personnel. He tanked an entire season for the health of the NFL. He was, is, and always will be an embarrassment. Calling him a clown is extremely offensive to clowns everywhere. He was the sole reason we have never had back to back winning seasons. He is the sole reason we have never won a Super Bowl.

i truly cannot wait for everyone to see how much better it is without him around. And the NFL better still hold him accountable for his disgusting sexual harassment actions. Cannot wait until the statue comes down and we never have to hear about this fraud again.

Quote

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney wouldn't comment. Chief operating officer Tina Becker was not immediately available for comment.

Several big issues remain to be resolved, including Tepper's plans for Bank of America Stadium, the coaching staff and potential minority partners.

Probably nothing, but struck me kind of odd. Similarly, Bill Voth's Twitter posts on the topic is mostly just been one word responses.

Perhaps everybody's just a little nervous about the new boss.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
