Culturally, what will change?

I think there is about a 10% chance of it happening. We have a winning football team and I doubt that constitutes rocking the boat. We'll unless someone like Diddy buys it. 

I wouldn't call it likely.

I would call it a possibility.

[Jon Snow]

Probably not much changes at first.  It will be a gradual shift if it happens, unless the current team falls flat on it's face next season.  If that happens then yeah all bets are off.

Wouldn't it just be hilarious if the first season after JR sells the team we have our first back to back winning season?

Let me put it this way.

You're talking about someone investing a fortune into a sports franchise. If they are doing so then they must have at least some sort of understanding of the league and how things operate. If that is the case, they see other franchises struggling for years to find even an average starting quarterback, let alone a franchise quarterback who is likely headed for a hall of fame career when it's all said and done. At the end of the day it's about profits and longevity, and as long as Cam Newton is physically able and scoring touchdowns, I don't think he's going anywhere. You're getting a little ahead of yourself is all I'm saying.

Remember a long time ago when the idea of trading Herschel Walker was considered insane?

What kind of trade so you think you could get for Newton?

Again, I'm not saying this is likely to happen, but I think it would be crazy not to acknowledge the possibility.

Stranger things have happened.

I think it would be funny to win the SB the year he has to sell the team.

He is the current franchise, yes.

But some new owners want to start everything fresh, put their own stamp on things, wipe away the old, etc.

Guys like Thomas Davis, Ryan Kalil, Greg Olsen and yes, Newton, could be seen as remnants of the old guard, and expendable.

Will it happen? Unknown. But if you think it couldn't happen, think again. 

Plenty of teams go through major changes after changing owners. It's possible for us too.

Yeah, lets trade away the best player the franchise has ever had just because i'm the mutha fugin CEO now!.. What a great way to get the fan base on your side as the teams new owner...

It would be a even bigger mistake. We have a top 5 QB that will go down as one of the best. It would be like trading Payton Manning in his prime.

So you've never seen an example of a new owner moving on from a popular player?

Heck, new GMs have done it even without ownership changes.

Not really.

Hurney is the GM at least through this offseason. It will take at least that long to get new owners in place, and then after that the owners will take a look at the structure and decide what changes they want to make. All of this likely takes place over the course of next season.

Now suppose for a moment that next season is a disaster and we finish 1-15 or something like that.

The offseason following that, the new GM takes over.

At that point, all options are open. The team could move on from Newton, Kuechly, Rivera, anybody.

Well yeah if we went 1-15 that would require some serious change. 

Not saying it couldn’t happen, but it would take some serious collapse to fall that far next season.
