Seemed a little hostile there. I enjoyed it but Tepper wasnt making friends with media.  

 

One thing he mentioned was having 20k to 40k of opposing team jerseys in the stands. Wonder if he will try to stop the reselling of tickets like Denver did.

I don't think they stopped reselling altogether, they just restricted resales to the immediate area, right? 

poo, if Carolina stopped reselling altogether there wouldn't be anyone at the games.

It was pretty bad optics to talk about the value of opposing merchandise versus simply talking about seeing a lot of opposing jerseys in the stands. Definitely made it seem like he cared more about the "missed opportunities" to sell that merchandise than the fact that the team can't currently draw it's own fanbase to fill the seats.

Thanks. Looked there yesterday but couldn't find it.

Finally got to hear where they asked the question about Hurney sticking around. As in the other areas, he talked about the process of re-evaluating the structure without actually saying a straight, simple "yes".

They keep track of who sells season tickets. If you sell your season tickets to opposing fans you lose your season tickets. I’m not sure of the percentages or specifics but thats the gist.

I couldnt find it either. Winning will sell merchandise and fill seats.

That’s the problem. This isn’t something that’s based purely on wins. When Atlanta came to town we were still highly probable for a playoff spot. The stadium wasn’t even filled at the lower level, and there was literally no noise. This is something Tepper is doing to turn fans off even more than when JR was around.

It's been said a thousand times, but one of the inherent risks of financing a stadium thru PSLs is having a poo-ton of corporate entities using the PSL to shmooze out of town clients and customers, frequently fans of other teams. Not to mention the resale market. Look, the few times I had to sell my seats for an individual game in the 17 seasons I owned PSLs, I didn't care who I sold them to, nor did I ask. 

It's just a dumb, homer mentality that would rather eat tickets than sell them to a buyer. "I'd rather lose the $150 than sell them to someone who's going to wear a Raiders jersey in the stadium."

      I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
