Alternate timeline Panthers owner’s daughter is doing well at Wimbledon

True about offseason but since it was brought up, the NFL is seeming more and more like ‘the man’ as I go through life. 

It seems like the  divestment and subsequent acquisition was engineered. Like, they had a buyer they wanted.... hmmm where can we put him?

Wanted Navarro then and in hindsight really wish we got him instead of tepper, obviously. 

 

His daughter got smoked today in a match on paper she really should've won. But she's had a great year and is an exciting young American player. Bills owner's daughter Jess Pegula also a top tennis player. Being super rich certainly helps a young player develop in an expensive sport like tennis.

Is this one of the, the grass would have been Greener had another asshole billionaire bought the Panthers? 

 

Some high quality drugs are going around out there to believe that poo. 

As far as it goes, and fwiw, Navarro reached out to John Lynch  before Lynch went to SF about running things for him if he could get the franchise. According to Lynch.

Which sure sounds a lot better than what happened. I thought it said a lot about Navarro, like he is just more intuitive than the other guy who took two years to figure it out and then hired Rhule. 

 

Just sayin’. I know it is what it is now.

Lynch was hired in San Fran on January 29, 2017 about 11  months prior to the Richardson scandal was first mentiond on Dec 17, 2017. So that doesn't make a lot of sense unless Navarro wanted to trade for a GM.

Back during the VETTING process, I liked Navarro for becoming the next owner.  That isn't going to make me sit here and honestly believe it would be drastically different or not.  I don't play what if games. There are to many variables, especially with a football team.

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
