Im pretty sure he is a billionaire now but he wasn't when he first bought the bobcats/hornets and mostly bought their debt and some skittles

its almost impossible to be a billionaire without leaving a trail of bodies in your wake. capitalism demands a few winners and a ton of losers

what a wild time that would have been, we complain about Tepper but that would have been crazy

Owning a sports team is now a billionaire’s toy now. The days of Michael Jordan or a Jeanie Buss owning teams are long gone. I remember when people thought Diddy could afford to buy the Panthers, he would have had to sell everything he owned just to cover the $750 million needed to own only 30% of the team.

I remember how upset everyone was that we didnt take Simmons, I think im good on him but he does give me a bit of pause on Walker

its no way they are worse, they moved from being the worse defense in the history of the NFL to being like 20th.

I think it’s important to understand that scouting players is extremely difficult, and even the best scouts miss as much as they succeed. These scouts are looking for traits and using that, along with interviews, pro days, and combines, to try to paint a picture of a player who could be successful in the NFL. However, that doesn’t guarantee success it’s not an exact science Yeah, Steve thought Mingo was going to be a player, and he turned out to be a bum. That’s just how it goes

How is this a sustainable business model? The only way it works is if the Bengals hit on every single draft pick and they’ve already shown us they can’t do that.

Tee left so much money on the table, it’s crazy. Chase and Burrow didn’t leave any crumbs, so why did he?

Horn may not be the best corner in the league, but he is the best corner we have. If you are even close to being one of the best, teams are going to pay you like you are. The 49ers have a similar situation with Purdy. The Panthers were never going to get Horn for a bargain, that's not how the NFL works. If we hadn't paid him, I guarantee another team would have offered Horn $25 million or more, just like the Giants had no problem paying Burns $30 million. It is what it is

The strategy does not change, no matter how many free agents you bring in. you draft the best player available no matter where that takes you.

They already said they wanted to assemble a complete team so they could draft the best player available. Maybe that’s a running back, maybe it’s not.

It was time, this draft is deep with running backs. He was older, expensive and a disappointment It just doesn’t make sense.

Most teams fail at the draft, it’s largely a crapshoot. For every team that drafts as well as the Rams last year, there are 29 others struggling to find even one rosterable players. A successful draft rate over five years is around 30%, meaning that hitting on just two out of seven picks would make you one of the most best GMs in the league. I think fans set their expectations too high for results that are pretty unlikely.

draft the best player no matter where that takes you. if its tyler warren its tyler warren

No thank you..

They stated that they were going to build a complete team in FA so that they could draft truly the best player available

There are 29 teams trying to sign the exact same players, the activity is there sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It’s not like they’re just sitting on their dick.

They were 100% willing to pay him at 20 to 21 million. They clearly thought he could be a valuable piece just not at $26 million.

I hear people say this, but I don’t agree. You have to fill a lot of your gaps through free agency, while dynasties are built through the draft. Those players need to be developed, and that takes time. Rarely are these guys able to contribute in their rookie season.

No, we got played by a fuging social media reporter, who was so busy being the first to report it that he blew the deal.

Man this seem fuging college signing day poo. If he gets flipped I’m goin to flip some tables

I was hoping if the Panthers didn’t make a run, that he at least left the division
