This is one of the best things anyone has ever said, ever.

It might be completely original, but ask Kungfoodude if he’s ever read Douglas Adam’s Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Adams has a joke about building spaceships powered by bad news because it’s the only thing that travels faster than the speed of light.

Not to cast aspersions because I might have mined Adams work for a few joke concepts myself.

I have read it but YEARS ago. It was just a stream of consciousness thought. Perhaps it rattled loose from some dusty, cobweb filled corner that remembered that book, however. I don't know.

Honestly, what else can he do right now? Is there a GM on the street who can magically draft guys in November or find Kurt Warner bagging groceries? It’s mid season so unless there’s a coaching candidate sitting on his ass, there’s not much to do right now except play the last 7 games and evaluate.

The non-football stuff he can control and work on so why is it so bad that he is doing that? People complain about Spartanburg (not me, have a feeling the fan interactions go away) and practicing in a ball room and he’s fixing that quickly.

Just wanna add to this that Tepper is a highly successful hedge fund manager. The skill set required to do that well includes the ability to juggle all kinds of tasks and information simultaneously. Doing the comparatively passive job in season of owning an NFL team while also working on development projects is not something that will tax his capacity  in the slightest.If anything I’d put money it’s comparatively simple. We do not have Joe Mouth Breather as an owner.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
