What does the new owner do if the Panthers curse of never having consecutive winning seasons continues? Does he stand by Hurney and Rivera or does he find new people.

He has zero connection to them. So why would he keep a losing pair? Why would anyone except JR.

Can anyone imagine your entire neighborhood getting together and deciding who buys your house when it goes up for sale, regardless of price?

If that were a possibility when I purchased the house in an exclusive neighborhood with very strict covenants and homeower restrictions then I shouldn't be surprised if it happens.

I should have qualified my comments with that exclusion in mind because, as you imply, it probably already does occur in some of those neighborhoods.

There's been pretty extensive discussion about how Tepper set a value for the team and refused to ever budge from it.

Probably wanna remember that the next time we're negotiating with a guy who's about to hit free agency.

Yep. and he'll find a GM to match that mindset.

I'm thinking we might see more turnover than we're accustomed to until tepper finds guys who do things his way. he expects things to be done at a certain level and at a certain price and if you don't meet both criterion, you're gone.

Cash on the barrel from a single owner is much more appealing that a ton of financing from multiple investors.  Navarro never had a chance in this negotiation because Tepper knew he could just write a check and make it happen.

That's how the Steelers operate. So yeah, wouldn't surprise me.

Also no vetting needed helped make it simple. Cash and a well known and well liked commodity. Clean and simple.

Still think he'll end up being a better/more successful owner than the others would have been.

Rubin's group seemed most interested in making a statement and having fun. Navarro just wanted to own the local team. Few are as success oriented as Tepper.

In a 2010 New York Magazine profile, he said, “I think when it comes to decisions, I try not to be emotional, to drown out the noise and look at the important facts.”

This is hilarious. "I'm a Purchasing Agent for X company. I don't purchase these things on emotion! I only look at trade publications and analyze what the purchase price should be from those!"

Why does that even need to be said?

Because plenty of NFL decision makers let emotion factor into their football decisions.

Our current GM acknowledges that he has a history of it and that he's trying not to do it now.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
