Couple of sources reported the signing around 10:30 last night but there was no official confirmation till this morning.

Not sure why the July date. I'd have assumed he becomes owner as soon as the league approves him  :thinking:

Might be waiting for the Steeler ownership to be sold, before everything is official.

The whole reason for selling the team was because of JR being a perv at the workplace.

That was one of the reasons, yes, but it's still not a bad thing for him to mention that he and his wife were thankful for community support over the years. It's really par for the course. It's certainly not a how-dare-he situation within the context.

A garbage post from a garbage poster,  go back to NJ you asshat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I take great pride in being called garbage by someone like you. I would be way far more concerned about myself if you were on here supporting me. Hopefully you follow that piece of trash Jerry out of here as well.

You got your pound of flesh....now go away

I'm rejuvenated. I'm not going anywhere. I have waited since 1995 to cheer for this team guilt free. Next season is going to be the most enjoyable one yet. I will forever take satisfaction in Jerry never winning a Super Bowl. I'll be on here more than ever.

smile for once man. Today is a great day.

For years I have been ripped apart for trashing Jerry Richardson on here. I had to hear over and over that he was a great owner and even better guy. Well now we all know none of that is true. 

So today is a day of celebration. Today is a day to dance on his grave. I do not wish poor health on him. I don't wish death on him. All I wish is he is never associated with the Panthers again and goes away like the disgraced owner he is.

From Jourdan Rodrigue's story in the Observer (Link)

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.

Awkward position for these folks, so probably best to say nothing... especially till after the owners meetings when it's officially official. Answering questions about Tepper leads to discussing JJR's departure and these guys don't want to go there.

I think this is really unfair, but you're entitled to your opinion. Even his sexual harassment accuser mentioned she had seen JJR change lives with his generosity. His health failed and things went downhill quickly, but he still founded one of the most successful expansion franchises in modern pro sports history that included two SB appearances.

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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.
