What are you talking about?? Tepper is the 2nd richest owner in the league and there is no CAP on what you can spend on coaches..

It's not rocket science. Irsay is worth almost 4 billion dollars. He has enough money to pay any coach anything he wants (as do probably all these guys). A coach's salary is not equal to the cost of a football team, for example. If they were bidding for another franchise or something of equivalent value, then Tepper wins. Some owners have money to buy multiple pro teams, but they all can pay a coach's salary. The only thing that separates the owners in bidding wars for coaches is the willing to overpay---or grossly overpay---for a coach's services, and the willingness to give potential coaches more control (sometimes unjustified authority). Tepper has shown the willingness to do both, which holds us in good stead (at least from the perspective of getting a premier coach) when it comes to these bidding wars.

You don't think Harbaugh would believe he can fix him?

Noooo!! I think Harbaugh is smart enough to see this a physical declineing QB and a team that trade assets to get him.. 

And our team he can pick his Qb and still has assets to work with..

Whoever wants to give more money and possibly cede more control. It's hyperbolic, but if Irsay decides to pay Harbaugh 50 mil per year (even if it's only for one year), I'd dare say that he's going to win the bidding war (if not lose his credibility). One thing neither one will be losing is their billions to hire a coach.

And again you think Tepper wouldn’t outbid Irsay for Harbaugh when he did it for Rhule??

Harbaugh wouldn't leave Michigan to coach the Panthers no matter how much Tepper offered him. People overestimate the attractiveness of this franchise to a coach like Harbaugh.  Hell you would be lucky to get one of these hot new up and comers to take the job. It may not be a matter of choosing whoever you want. It quite possibly could end up being whoever will take it.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
