I just think he flat out doesn't know what he's doing running an NFL team. Moving money around to make wealthy people even wealthier is a lot different than running a football organization.

There is actually probably more luck involved in successfully running a football team. 
 

Unlucky teams - No QB. Lucky teams - Good QB. 
 

He’s trying to force the luck…which kudos to him. I’d rather have an owner who is trying to force the issue and win than an owner who sits back and accepts 8-8 after 8-8 after 8-8…and occasionally makes the playoffs.

He’ll get the formula right eventually. When it happens we’ll find the QB and we’ll roll.

Gotta start shopping in the right aisle. You're highly unlikely to find the QB in the bargain bin where we've been shopping the last two years. Paying them too much or trading too much for those bargain bin QBs aren't gonna make them any better.

Ok fair enough, but when ppl like me say sell the farm for Watson, I get blow back. So which is it? Are we just looking for a happy medium, or do we need a good qb to get the goddamn job done. Which is very rare to find. Decisions are better understood in hindsight.

I was all in on trading for Watson until... well, you know.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I do not yet trust our people to be savvy enough to pull off a trade that doesn’t screw us in the first and/or second round. With things looking like they might be coming together, they absolutely HAVE TO hit on a stud in round 1 and hopefully 2…  and hopefully hopefully unearth a diamond in later rounds. If they are to create a window, this draft has to go gang busters. This coming season looks promising, however, they have to go in to the 2026 season as the clear favorite to win the South.  ‘Windows’ happen for traditionally bad teams with the culmination of 2-3 really good drafts IN A ROW, snagging a good head coach and a few key free agent acquisitions. Busting on first and second rounds will destroy the chance of this occuring. Cokers don’t come around very frequently and haven’t even drafted.  There are contracts coming up in the next 2-3 years at the most expensive positions on the entire team. Bryce and Ickey. I know, not for a while, but good franchises have a long lens. If it comes to crunch time and Ickey hasn’t evolved in his pass blocking, do they drop mega $$ in his lap? Have they groomed someone that can step up? Do they happen in to a franchise LT and put press On Ickey to step his game up or he becomes trade bait?  In closing, at 8, screw need. No trade. Pick the guy who has future all pro dna.

      David Tepper tied for 7th richest sports team owner in the world.

      By countryboi · Posted

      Owning a sports team is now a billionaire’s toy now. The days of Michael Jordan or a Jeanie Buss owning teams are long gone.   I remember when people thought Diddy could afford to buy the Panthers, he would have had to sell everything he owned just to cover the $750 million needed to own only 30% of the team.

      As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

      By Camp Fodder · Posted

      Walker, Graham, Warren or trade back. There is a very good chance 2 of these 3 are gone by the time we pick  Trading back or trade back and then back up and getting Williams and Golden would be fantastic
