It was more of a statement made so we could have had Dundon as the owner Vs Tepper. Plus we would have built a pretty big stadium downtown. Oh well. 

You talk about Tepper’s greed but Dundon literally made his money by being a slumlord. He bought low-income family’s automobile loans, mortgages, and health care bills for pennies on the dollar and then jacked up interest rates. Let us also not forget him buying a football league pretending to the savior, took their proprietary technology, and then folded the league and attempted to not pay the players or employees their due wages. 
 

He also isn’t some mastermind behind team building. The Canes were dreadful for years and got to pick up a lot of prospects that have turned into quality players now. He bought the team at the tail end of the rebuild. Meanwhile the Panthers had the oldest roster in the league and a franchise QB whose arm died on them. 
 

Finally, can we stop pretending like the Hurricanes have this unbelievable die hard fan base? From 2014-2019 they had bottom five attendance (with nothing else to do in the town) and that included two dead last seasons. They’re like every other fan base in that they show up when the team is performing well. 
 

This pretend rivalry is so tiresome because no one here actually thinks about Raleigh.

I disagree with you but you are entitled to your opinion.

Raleigh has North Carolina FC and the Courage. Maybe go support those local teams. NCFC was trying to get the bid but money and ready to go stadium will always win out

Maybe I go to both at Wake Med Soccer park in Cary all the time bud. 
 

All NC sports team under Tepper has shown to be a failure so far. Im hopeful that can change.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
