There is probably some fans that would jump at the chance if it happened during a winning season,then turn around and threaten to sue after the Panthers had a down year or two, claiming they were somehow mislead. .

Buying Packers ‘stock’ is the best scam in sports Become and ‘owner’ today, and waste your money! James Dator Nov 16, 2021, 12:57pm EST It’s a huge day if you like giving away money to a billion dollar organization and getting nothing in return. That’s right folks, your chance to become an “owner” of the Green Bay Packers is here! On Tuesday the Packers opened up shares of their “common stock” for the first time in 10 years. It gives anyone the chance to say they’re part owner of an NFL team for the low, low price of $300. Alternatively, you could just lie about it and tell people you part own an NFL team, because you’re pretty much getting the same thing out of it. So, what does that $300 get you? What can you expect as a part owner of one of the proudest teams in NFL history? Nothing at all! It doesn’t matter if NFL profits soar, or if the Packers become the most valuable sports franchise in the world — the team is very quick to tell you that you won’t make anything. Heck, it’s right there on the landing page. So, by the Packers own admission, the “stock” isn’t stock. The only way you can call it stock is if you ignore the common sense meaning of the term stock. Get it? Dig a little further in and they make it clear that you can’t sell, trade, or transfer your stock to anyone — except an immediate family member in the event of a death. So, once again, not a stock. Surely you must get some really sweet deals for being a shareholder, right? Hell no you don’t! Do you think this is some sort of utopian co-op? That’s commie trash. You don’t get tickets, don’t get the rights to any preferential seating, you don’t get a say on any hirings or the football direction of the team. You DO however get the right to vote on who makes up the board, from a pre-approved list of people sent to shareholders. Also a certificate, because who doesn’t like a good certificate? Also, there’s a $35 additional handling fee for the certificate. You didn’t think your $300 investment would actually get you the certificate, right? Maybe you really like the idea of voting on who makes up the board. It makes you feel in power. Well, it sure as poo shouldn’t, because there are 501,000 shares currently owned, with another 300,000 being made in this offering. So, your $300 will give you the voting power of 0.000125 percent — and you can keep getting diluted forever, because the available float the Packers can change whenever they feel like it, wee! Don’t get too discouraged though. If you decide voting and keeping up with the Packers is just too much, you can always just ignore their messages and not vote. Then after five years the team can revoke your share and pay you the handsome sum of $0.025. Who knows what two cents will look like in the future? That’s fun to imagine, right?! The new float will raise $90 million for the Packers, with plans to make further renovations to the stadium. In the 2011 float the funds were used to make improvements to Lambeau Field as well, presumably without raising ticket prices. Joke’s on you for believing that, because despite getting fans to pay for stadium improvements by calling them “owners” the team still took taxpayer money, and will keep taking it until 2031! As for ticket prices, surely raising all this money multiple times in team history was a brilliant way to pay it forward. A wonderful world where those who could afford shares offset the cost of rising ticket prices for families. That had to have happened, right? Hell no! Ticket prices have soared over the last decade, and now the Packers have the fourth most expensive tickets in the entire NFL! So don’t miss your opportunity today to become an owner of the Green Bay Packers. The only investment I can think of worse than spending $300 on a share of the Packers, is spending $250 on this vintage 1992 Flowbee, which was a vacuum that cuts your hair. Actually, scratch that, the Flowbee will save you money on haircuts with every single use. A couple of years and it pays for itself. The Packers stock will never pay for itself, you just get to brag about being one of 800,000 other rubes. But at least you get a cool certificate.

If what i am reading about the "Stock" is factual,why any sane person would buy a "Stock" that is not a "Stock" and actually has no value is beyond me.

Forget all these meanless stats. Simply put, the Panthers are a better all around football team than the Washington club and should win Sunday if they play like they are capable. The fact that Cam will be starting or playing a lot should be an emotional uplift and prevent a flat performance. The players and coaches will be sensing a possible playoff berth, which should give them an extra incentive to win.

I have an attitude toward Matt Stafford ever since he let it be known he did not want to come to the Panthers.

I know this will not happen because the NFL doesn't work this way but it would be nice to see PJ and Cam both play for periods in all of the remaining games.

I wondered that at the time. Common sense should tell one to let someone prove themself before locking into a long term deal. This was not a minor oversight but a major mistake on their part. .

I would like to trade Robby and his attitude while his value is somewhat high. Plus,he is so pencil thin i shutter every time he is tackled, just hoping he gets up.

I hope Panther fans that are geting on a present super high, will not come crashing down to earth to hard if Cam is not the saviour they expect him to be.

On a one year deal? I think not.

With the joke of an offensive line, this years Panthers team is going nowhere. Obtaining Cam Newton is an upgrade at the postion but if he is capable of getting us a couple more wins it will only hurt our chance in the draft. While i wish Cam good luck, i cannot see that his signing will be beneficial to the Panthers in the long run.

Finding and hiring a football coach is an imperfect science. Building the perfect NFL coach isn’t any easier. All you have to do is look at the hiring and firing numbers in the NFL over the last five years to realize that. Since the end of the 2016 season, the league’s 32 teams have hired 33 head coaches. Nine teams are on their second swing at the coaching piñata during that period. Every owner and general manager has an idea of what they want in a head coach and how to find the best man for the job. They spend weeks researching and interviewing prospective candidates. They talk to dozens of people who have employed them, worked with them, coached against them. And yet, 33 coaching hires in five years.

I just looked into my crystal ball,once owned by the great "Nostra Dumb Azz and it said Arizona would beat Carolina Sunday.

Even if we had taken Fields, i am not sure he would have reached any of his potential behind our pitiful OL and coaches that seem to have no clue on game planing. Fields would have probably ended up as shell shocked here as Sam Darnold became with the Jets.

Agree-Agree and Agree.

Something the Panthers do not have.

Thanks for the infro. Being stuck with that much money will certainly suck, no doubt .

Now that sucks big time.

The Panthers picked up the fifth-year option on Sam Darnolds rookie contract. This means he will now make $18.9 million for the 2022 season. Will some salary cap wise person,please inform me about the amount of salary cap hit the team would take if they release him in 2022. Also,how could we get around paying him other than a trade, which would be almost impossible to find an interested team?.

It is heart breaking to have such a good defense and such a poor offense. Life in the NFL can certainly be hard to teams like ours that are so unbalanced..

QB and OL are not the Panthers only problem. Until some serious changes are made to this coaching staff we can expect the same inept games from the team.

I stopped having faith in Mel Kiper after he made the exclamation about how great Jimmy Clausen was and how good an NFL QB he would become.

Pardon me for saying so but they both have that " there's just something not right about them" in their makeup and personality.
