Goddamn what a shit-show the Panthers owner has turned that team into. After seeing what he’s done to that team I could not be happier that Shad Khan is as hands off as he is. Thank you, Shad.
“Before 2022, Khan’s record as an owner was among the worst at 42-119. In 2020, Khan tied with former New Orleans Saints owner John Mecom as the second-fastest owner in NFL history to reach 100 losses at 141 total games played.”
WINNING IS AN OWNER STAT
Going to clarify and say that Shad isn’t a great owner as far as his previous hires and their products on the field but at least he is far from the worst owner. Is there anyone who would rather have Irsay, Tepper, Mike Brown, or Spanos?
His track record says he’s one of the worst owners. He lucked into Lawrence. Pederson is by far his best move. But he even nearly blew that. He interviewed Pederson weeks before he ended up hiring him. They entertained a bunch of bums (Bill OBrien, Nathaniel Hackett, etc) before hiring Doug.
You completely ignored his question
He said he’s far from the worst owner…but he’s not. His record the first decade of ownership is among the worst of all time. You want to compare him to Mike Brown and Irsay? They both were like Khan in that their football incompetence was rewarded by lucking into a franchise quarterback. Brown (Palmer/Burrow) and Irsay (Manning/Luck) have each done this twice now.
I don’t see how Khan is any better than those two.
Have you read any of Irsay’s tweets lately?
That’s just how football goes. You do bad, you get a high draft pick.
Or Bidwell. Or Woody Johnson. There are a lot of shitty owners.
They all interfere (owners). Let’s not forget the large cries just a few years ago when it came to Shad. The Panthers just can’t get out of their own way. The perfect shit storm if ya will.
I don’t really understand the Shad hate. Owners aren’t elected or hired. They just have a lot of money. I don’t want someone who thinks they know football just because they have enough money to buy a team. Shad knows he isn’t a coach or GM so he lets them run it until it’s obvious they aren’t working. Took a while for some, but not long with others.
On top of that, he’s done a lot to help the city and the team through some down years.
Give me a hands off owner, not someone who forces a GM to go after guys he likes.
Owners are usually multi-billionaires. Normal people don’t like billionaires. You can tell me you think Shad is a bottom 5 owner all you want. But you better back it up by naming 27 owners you would rather have.
