  1. And the 2 from Burns was traded for a lower 2 & next year’s 2 so it’s basically what we got. Can’t really complain too much
  2. obviously not written by ChatGPT Title: "A Panther's Christmas Redemption" Synopsis: David Tepper, the wealthy and ruthless owner of the Carolina Panthers football team, is known for his relentless pursuit of profit and disregard for the holiday spirit. On Christmas Eve, as he prepares to finalize a deal to relocate the Panthers to a more lucrative city, he is visited by the ghost of team founder, Jerry Richardson, who warns him of impending doom if he does not change his ways. Throughout the night, Tepper is visited by three spirits who take him on a journey through his past, present, and future. The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Tepper his humble beginnings, revealing how he started with nothing and built his fortune through hard work and ambition. It also reveals moments where he neglected his family and friends in pursuit of success. The Ghost of Christmas Present transports Tepper to the present day, where he sees the impact of his decisions on his employees, players, and the community. He witnesses the struggles of families who rely on the team for livelihood and the disappointment of fans facing the prospect of losing their beloved Panthers. The Ghost of Christmas Future shows Tepper a bleak future where the Panthers have moved away, leaving behind a devastated community and a legacy tarnished by greed. He sees himself alone and regretful, realizing the true cost of his relentless pursuit of profit. Awakened on Christmas morning, Tepper is deeply shaken by the experiences and resolves to change his ways. He cancels the relocation deal and instead announces plans to invest more in the local community, ensuring the Panthers remain in Carolina and continue to bring joy to fans.
  3. Not believing any of it until Garry Cobb confirms, as required by law.
  4. Mr Rajack may not have been very useful to the team, but I must admit he can write a decent self-promotion article.
  5. One of the issues I had with Fitterer was that he seemed to encourage Tepper to get involved in some decisions that should’ve been made by just Scott and the front office/coaches. There’s not a ton of hard evidence of course, but from what we do have (The draft vids the team produced), it almost looked like Tepper was playing the role of Assistant GM at times. Maybe Fitterer was just too nice and wanted to keep Dave happy, but some of that stuff was alarming. Hopefully Morgan can strike a proper balance between keeping Tepper informed of what’s happening and remaining firmly in control of team decisions.
  6. Looks quite similar to Jake Delhomme.. combined with Peyton Manning
  7. I’ve come to the conclusion that Fox’s wife banned him from chewing gum in the house at some point. The main reason he’s still coaching is to be able to do it with impunity for a few hours on Sunday
  8. Yes, but better known as the guy that posted here and owned a short-lived pizza place
  9. Have to say that the absence of leaks from the organization so far is kinda refreshing. I feel like if this was last year, we’d have already seen 100 pics of Dave and Nicole interviewing the candidates along with every national and local reporter mentioning who Dave will do anything to hire. Maybe things are changing. Slightly at least, but it’s a start.
  10. I always thought Sirianni was just standing up for Frank by calling him the best coach he’s ever been around. But yeah, they do seem like the same coach at this point. I’m sure he’d take that as a huge compliment.
  11. Richardson’s organizational hires were generally league average to slightly above. If Tepper hires someone that could be considered league average, it would be a major improvement.
  12. Yeah. People are saying that paying a coach that much money gives them no incentive to perform. I would disagree, Tepper would probably extend him for 50m per if he turns the team around and makes the playoffs consistently.
  13. The difference is that Tepper would become more likable by hiding in a trunk when football decisions are being made.
  14. Definitely sounds that way since the article described it as a league source. Can’t be described as a Panthers source if you don’t work here anymore. Gotta hope it is a coach, someone in the front office doing that would be so much worse.
  15. Main difference I’ve seen is Stroud’s best college attribute (Deep intermediate accuracy/placement) has translated flawlessly to the NFL, while Bryce’s (Playmaking ability and decision making) hasn’t really shown up. The state of our OL/WRs and a bad system fit don’t help either.
  16. - Cut by Panthers - At home on the couch - Couch breaks - Signs with Panthers to afford new couch
  17. You might be able to say that Frank checked out at some point during the season, but it was way more obvious that Seifert didn’t care at all during his last season. The 1999 season alone is enough to put him ahead of Rhule & Frank though, easily the most fun non-playoff team the Panthers have ever fielded.
  18. Hubbard/Blackshear rotation at RB, move Sanders to the slot.
  19. It’s always darkest right before the dawn, or maybe you just couldn’t tell that the sun fled the solar system overnight.
  20. We went through that stage like 8 weeks ago. He’s way behind the curve.
  21. I think the sharks being referred to would be the type that want to choose their own GM or at least have some control in building a roster. Definitely similar to what Harbaugh was seeking from the Vikings last offseason. I can also see why some coaches might prefer the Panthers job to something like the Chargers. Going 9-8 there would immediately put you on the hot seat and there’s pretty much no chance of getting close to the playoffs with that record in a tough AFC. Going 9-8 here would probably earn you a parade and a lifetime contract from Tepper. That’s how low the bar is at this point.
  22. Probably Duce. If the team isn’t gonna be entertaining at all, at least the coach could be.
  23. I’m pretty confident that a defense of 11 Nicoles would still get a sack or two against Bryce.
  24. I’d rather keep my ham sandwich tyvm. It has some value and won’t let me down.
  25. It was from the series of vids they released about the offseason. The 3rd one. There were other weird moments, like when Dave was convinced they were the only ones who knew about Chandler Zavala as if NC State was a division 3 school in Wyoming.
