Might have to Tonya Harding Sam and get that injury settlement.

By hook or crook either way 

OR perhaps Sam (considering the type of person he is) agrees to a restructuring so he gets his money sooner and makes things easier for the Panthers to proceed in finally working on things that should've been worked on for so damn long....

Tepper said this could take up to 5 years to build a consistent winner. Rhule's past has been 3. I say year 3 we make the playoffs and battle for a playoff spot every year after.

What I see and think: Investment in both lines while searching for a future QB.

They don't resign D Jax and get a 3rd rd comp pick. They have a lot of CBs. I do think they resign Gilmore to a 2 year deal (not too much money) so he can stay close to home. With Horn and CJ, Gilmore, Taylor and Bouye for 2022, you're set. 

They draft and sign O-lineman and another space eater D-lineman in 2022 and again in 2023. Doesn't matter who the QB is and how good your defense is if you can't take time off the clock on offense and score some points. They need a great Center to start with. Maybe Brown gets a shot at G. 

- without a big DT pushing the middle, having Burns and Reddick fast on the outside does nothing. QB steps up and throws it. 

I have a feeling they won't resign DJ Moore to an extension and take the comp pick in 2023. His drops and some poor routes might be a turn off. They showed yesterday an INT was part on him for not running the route correctly and drawing the safety towards him. If the announcers see it, the coaches definetly will.

Darnold will compete for QB in 2022 as who knows if they sign or draft his competition. 

I think they will resign Reddick, but after giving more $ to Anderson (or now injuries with CMC), are they gonna shy away? They may take the 3rd rd comp pick for him too. 

I believe they will turn this into a consistently winning organization, it takes time. We are just impatient as fans.

This isn’t college. Rhule has at most 3 years to win. People aren’t being impatient, and even if they are they have every right to be, they just see what is obvious. Rhule is a bad NFL coach.

Yea I had that thought as well. I wonder if Sam is that dood who knows he's bad and would take a proper salary or take the money. Hard to say since I don't know Sam but me personally I have done things in the past to put it on myself as I'm pretty self aware but for 18 million I might be a lot less so hah. Hard to say when you aren't in the position.

Its a learning curve. New owner and coach to the NFL and now new GM. It takes time to turn a large ship. 

…a learning curve for a $2.9 billion sports team lol

thats like putting a 15 year old in the drivers seat of a Ferrari  what could go wrong?

there are plenty of nfl assistants that won’t need 3 to 5 years of a ‘learning  curve ‘

the biggest mistake made by Tepper is assuming what worked well in one industry transfers well to another, it doesn’t.  This is an entertainment industry, not a hedge fund 

the old saying in business is ‘sometimes what you know interferes with what you have to learn.’  That’s the case here it seems
