I don’t think Tepper had any interest in moving, this is still one of the fastest growing markets in the country with several Fortune 500 companies and a median income that easily supports premium ticket sales, etc… Given all that he would have a really tough time convincing a majority of other owners to pull out of this market. Bottom line, I’ve always been told the BofA Sports Foundation wouldn’t let it happen.

What would be the point of Tepper conning them in a deal that would never work while spending $80 mil to begin construction?

The off-season black helmet thread to end all offseason black helmet threads.

This a reach… it’s clear the project was for the Panthers and real estate holding companies often have clients pay contractors directly (no reason for the real estate holding company to intervene). Don’t blame them for trying but this is a Hail Mary.

Agree 100% Amazing RH thought they could finesse him.

Seems pretty clear RH was dragging their feet on the bonds… this whole thing is a mess but that’s the central issue. If it was enough to terminate the project, my question is why Tepper would agree to the “reasonable best effort” language in the contract… that language in a contract should be a huge red flag.

Amare Barno is my pick. Guy ran a 4.36 at 6’ 6” and 245 lbs. Julius Peppers level freak.

Yeah NO WAY we’re worse than the Falcons and Texans.

Oh and he would have to get 3/4 of the other owners to approve moving away from one of the fastest growing cities in the nation.

He’s got the RPO down, needs to focus on getting under center and playing from the pocket to complete his game.

We hardly knew you…

There’s nothing he could say that would make me feel better about 3 consecutive losing seasons. It’s gonna be a bunch of “we have a plan” and “it’s a 5 year process” talk that largely means nothing. The time for talk is over, show me results. Our record this year will speak louder than anything he can say. Our GM and Head Coach have spoken, what more can he add?

Do we really need more platitudes about how he wants to win and is obviously unsatisfied with the results last season? Let’s all pound our fists and demand we get a 20 minute “owner-speak” press conference!

This… Chinn is 6’3” 220 and safeties can’t be enforcers anymore, so he should be converted to OLB. We saw what he can do around the LOS last year, he’s a “meh” safety but could be TD 2.0 at LB.

You can pull a hammy just as easily in the slot as you can out of the backfield.

But Pickett has small hands LOL

If the team doesn’t know why they lost the coaching staff should be fired.

I like Willis but he’s very raw, he’s a boom or bust prospect. Pickett is ready to play and there’s something very Burrow-esque about him. Seems like most people don’t like him simply because Rhule does. Corral is an unknown to me. Don’t want another veteran re-tread bridge QB at this point.

I’m concerned about this, seen several clips where he’s getting a little too cute scrambling around vs inferior athletes that could be a problem in the NFL

Yup, this… and I’m not sure either one of these guys are worth the 6th overall pick.

Good we can keep beating him like we did the last time we played and he had to explain why he got shut down by cover 3

For what we’d be giving up to get him we might as well let him pick our next HC… or at least have major input.

Just pick us already gat dammit

Meh, as a competitor you want the opportunity to beat him.

Meh, talk is cheap. Start winning and all is forgiven.
