So panthers suffer because of Richardon?

So if Richardson wants the other 31 owners to spend more responsibly to get employee costs under control, he can’t be the one blowing the budget on one luxury item.

That means he’ll have to swallow hard, and hold the door for Peppers to walk away

If that hurts his team in the short term — and it certainly does — it’s a cost he’s willing to absorb.

Because in Richardson’s mind, keeping the NFL competitive is more important than keeping the Panthers that way.

This is actually refreshing to hear to me. I hate all the selfish owners that are in the NFL like Jerry Jones that will spend millions and millions to make sure they have the most talent. It helps there pocket book to keep this league as competitive as possible because that will increase our sports popularity.

Regardless of whether or not Mr. Richardson is trying to set an example, it's hard to justify spending that kind of money on a 30 year old DE.

I would like to see Peppers stay, but if the only way to do that is to pay him 21 million for one season only to watch him walk away next season, then I can understand the decision to move on now.

Yeah..But whats gets me is that this could have been avoided if we would have traded peppers last year.

For this very reason, I believe that we will not only let Peppers walk but we will also not go after any expensive free agents. We may very well have the lowest payroll in the NFL next season. Not a bad business move if people still come to the games and buy the merchandise. The Organization could stand to make alot of profit in an uncapped year with no salary floor either. It is a business after all and we all know that Jerry is all about the league over the team. Hence the NFL logo still at mid-field.

How much money does the average NFL owner make per year? I have heard 20-50 million, which sounds like a lot, but it is total BS that an owner, who takes the financial risks of investing and continuing to operate a team, could make the same as a fine young male DE that plays about half the time. The players salaries (particularly those on the high end) are out of whack.

Glad to know his owner buddies and NFL buddies are more important to him than the PSL owners and diehard fans who buy his overpriced beers.

Winning a fuging superbowl should be priority #1 here and it's becoming obvious to me it isn't.

Can it be any more clearer where our owner's loyalty lies? I mean the big ass NFL logo midfield should say it enough, but damn man. How is this an example of a "great" owner? :frown2:

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
