It was more of a statement made so we could have had Dundon as the owner Vs Tepper. Plus we would have built a pretty big stadium downtown. Oh well. 

You talk about Tepper’s greed but Dundon literally made his money by being a slumlord. He bought low-income family’s automobile loans, mortgages, and health care bills for pennies on the dollar and then jacked up interest rates. Let us also not forget him buying a football league pretending to the savior, took their proprietary technology, and then folded the league and attempted to not pay the players or employees their due wages. 
 

He also isn’t some mastermind behind team building. The Canes were dreadful for years and got to pick up a lot of prospects that have turned into quality players now. He bought the team at the tail end of the rebuild. Meanwhile the Panthers had the oldest roster in the league and a franchise QB whose arm died on them. 
 

Finally, can we stop pretending like the Hurricanes have this unbelievable die hard fan base? From 2014-2019 they had bottom five attendance (with nothing else to do in the town) and that included two dead last seasons. They’re like every other fan base in that they show up when the team is performing well. 
 

This pretend rivalry is so tiresome because no one here actually thinks about Raleigh.

I disagree with you but you are entitled to your opinion.

Raleigh has North Carolina FC and the Courage. Maybe go support those local teams. NCFC was trying to get the bid but money and ready to go stadium will always win out

Maybe I go to both at Wake Med Soccer park in Cary all the time bud. 
 

All NC sports team under Tepper has shown to be a failure so far. Im hopeful that can change.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
