For those first few hours, David Tepper’s new colleagues were introducing themselves, watching him, sizing him up.

John Mara, a stately man whose family has owned the New York Giants for nearly a century, at one point made his way over to shake the hand of the new Carolina Panthers owner and decided he’d wait to make up his mind. Jerry Jones, the renegade oil tycoon who has owned the Dallas Cowboys since 1989, figured that on the basis that Tepper — a hedge-fund multibillionaire who pledged a record $2.275 billion to buy the Panthers — is serious about the two things most important to Jones, pro football and money, he figured they’d probably get along.

Quote

He is somewhere between a cultural wrecking ball to a league mired in recent years by wide-ranging scandals and a dramatic contradiction to how it normally does business — which, regardless of dropping television ratings and decreasing overall popularity, projected last year’s annual revenue at a record $14 billion.

So here’s one question some of those franchise owners were pondering as they welcomed a new and unpredictable member into their tribe: Is it more likely that David Tepper will change the NFL, or that the NFL will change him?

Tepper will turn the Panthers into a model organization. Winning consistently on the field like the Steelers, Patriots, etc. and winning off the field through unheard of philanthropy.  Brass balls will gain his respect and others will follow. I'm excited for the future.

We are already one of the more successful franchises since Cam/Rivera came on board. My hope is that Tepper helps push us into that next echelon of teams. We need continued, sustained success on the field every year!! No more taking a season off after a good one!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
