They make a few decent points, but I think they're unrealistic about a lot of stuff.

It's funny that the Observer made such a big deal of Kalil's letter, but this one doesn't merit a mention.

There are several very legitimate thoughts in the 'letter' and, for the most part, is pretty well written.

Kalil's ad was paid for by him and put on a full page in the Observer, and he's not a business executive. If what this letter says is true and a group of "business executives" wrote it, why didn't they pony up the cash to put it on a full page like Kalil did?

A friend of mine, also a charter PSL owner named Dave, wrote a letter to JR several years ago. He was not happy with the direction of the team and made it known to JR. Dave didn't go into any of the business aspects of the team, he was simply miffed by personnel decisions (this was during the Seifert era). Jerry Richardson called Dave and asked him to have lunch with him in a downtown Charlotte restaurant, to which Dave gladly accepted and they met, ate and talked.

I have spoken with Jerry Richardson myself several times over the years as, before his heart transplant, he made it a point to stop by our tailgate a couple times each season. I don't agree with his business/team principle and I'm no longer a PSL owner, as of a few weeks ago. But I will tell anyone who asks that I have the utmost respect for the man who takes the time to individually meet and talk with those who ask.

The author(s) of this letter could have signed it and could have asked to meet with the man and I'm about 100% certain he would reach out to them. All they had to do was nut up. I'm not really inclined to believe this was written by anyone other than a handful of pissed off PSL owners- not necessarily "business executives."

I heard it was a full page ad on the back page of the sports section. I haven't actually seen it to confirm however.

Last page. Top to bottom. Full page. Confirmed

Okay, my bad... from the link it looked as though it was simply placed in the classified section somewhere...

...but you get my point.

It doesn't say a group of CEOs, it says business executives, and they're anonymous. For all we know, it could be a few guys who run a tree service and know how to use spell-check. :)

Okay, I edited my post to accurately reflect their standing as "business executives" and not CEO's. More like wanna-be CEO's.

Lol Gantt is having a field day with this on twitter. His PFT post was funny too.

Like this tidbit:

"Buried within the avalanche of words are some salient points and a few funny lines (of coach Ron Rivera: “His clock management would be a mystery even to the Swiss”). But mainly, it comes off as a really long message board post, or call to a sports talk station."

Or any piece found on PFT...

Do you kind of wonder if, had all the comments here been supportive, the author would take credit and turn out to be someone who had posted before? :)

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
