Broncos went 5-11 last year... ...yet TB5 has them off to a winning 5-4 start this season including a win @ Dallas today where TB5 handily outplayed Dak Prescott... #winner

Sam: 7 TD, 8 INT, 60.8 CMP%, 1,814 YDS, 21 SCK, 76.8 RTG, 36.0 QBR TB5: 13 TD, 5 INT, 70.4 CMP%, 1,914 YDS, 22 SCK, 100.6 RTG, 50.7 QBR ...but Silver Platter Sam can "sling it"...

Pretty darn interesting observation...

The only path I see to your scenario is if he somehow acquires Mr. Whip-It-Out... ...that would be worst case.

Why?

Sam: 7 TD, 8 INT, 60.8 CMP%, 1,814 YDS, 21 SCK, 76.8 RTG, 36.0 QBR TB5: 13 TD, 5 INT, 70.4 CMP%, 1,914 YDS, 22 SCK, 100.6 RTG, 50.7 QBR ...but Silver Platter Sam can "sling it"...

Some do. It's a publicly available info source that might help judge significant changes in supply/demand of PSL's... ...or lack thereof.

Yes, I'm aware. What sort of reliable/verifiable info are you seeing that indicates any material change in the lapse rate of PSL's?

Are they? I'd be curious if there's a reliable source to track those numbers... Currently there are only 11 PSL-listings on eBay...I look in on that now and then and that's not a material change from the past.

Amazing how a couple hundred years of history affects the "atmosphere"... Panthers have never had back-to-back winning seasons and only 7 winning seasons in 27 years... ...why is everyone so pissed-off all of a sudden?

I'm starting to honestly become concerned that is the trajectory this team is on. No chance Tepper moves the team. Tepper doesn't care if fans refuse to come to the games --- he only cares that they retain the PSL's and keep meeting their obligation to pay for season tickets... ...he knows they be back in the stadium when the team starts winning.

Yeah I wanted Navarro as well. And I am afraid the rest of your post is correct. He didn't have the money. Word from one or two guys with real "insider" sources is that Tepper is the exact opposite of Jones and doesn't meddle in player-personnel decisions in any way... ...that's what they say anyway.

That's the responsibility of the "football people" who have reportedly been given free-rein by Mr. Tepper...

What would it take for you to drop your PSL? The Denver Broncos did cancel season tickets for a number of Broncos "fans" who consistently sold their tix and rarely ever attended... ...thing is the Broncos have an 87,000 person waiting list for season-tickets. A part of the whole electronic ticketing "system" is to track who is doing what with tix and for how much...as well as allow the team/league to capture some of the upside when PSL holders scalp tix. In the absence of a waiting list Tepper isn't going to cancel or buy-out anyone, nor should he be expected to...simply an illogical pipe dream.

I feel badly for Sam... ...still don't understand the decision to not make him compete for the job.

...and "smart" he is not

Yes.

Fair point, especially as it goes to hosting the Super Bowl. The League should keep it in warm weather places like Florida, California and Arizona...

No idea what you are talking about....

This line of reasoning (excuse making) perplexes me... ...the Panthers operate in a very large market and players do not care about "market size"... ...now glitz & glamour do factor in with some players but those "destination" type markets only number a couple in the NFL (really only LA and possibly Miami). The data in that reddit post is almost a decade old but if anything I'd expect the Panthers relative market to have gained share as people come to the Carolinas in droves and rust-belt/cold-weather/high-tax markets are net-losers on the population front. As I think @kungfoodude may have said, winning is what brings them in... ...Boston/Foxborough certainly isn't a "destination" market.

Both have to be a concern....

Huh?

OBJ is a complete tool bag and like Cam he is not a fit for the "serious football" culture GM/Coach Rhule is installing with this franchise... ...hard No. Note: Not suggesting Cam is a toolbag...

What are the "insiders" saying?
