After Hurricane Florence touched down in the Carolinas last week, the Panthers said in a statement that they would work to “develop a plan to best assess the needs of the region and ensure we can effectively deploy resources to those most impacted.”

The Panthers announced their initial aid package on Thursday. The foundation of owner David Tepper and the team’s charitable arm will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross’ financial assistance program designed to provide “people in shelters with stipends and gift cards to help them transition back to their lives.”

Color me not impressed.  JordanO made larger don't and isn't as large as Tepper. Two per could use thousand dollar bills to wipe his a ss with and never run out of money 

I absolutely LOVE it when people have the audacity to judge how much people donate.  

Please tell me what % of your income your donating?  

I’m sorry, I don’t mean this to come across as a personal attack either.  But I freakin hate it when people judge the amount someone (usually higher up people) donates.  Any donation is a positive. $1 million is a huge help and trying to discredit it is ridiculous.  Even a dollar donation is better than nothing and should not be negatively viewed.

And the article even says “initial aid”, as in they very well could donate more.  

But I’m sorry him donating ONE MILLION doesn’t “impress” some of you.  I wasn’t aware helping those in need was about impressing people.

Probably won't be able to donate anything as the storm shut my wife's job down for the foreseeable future and my cancer surgery which was rescheduled due to the storm will already cost us several thousand dollars and we have insurance, that is our share, and we have damage from the storm that will not be comped via homeowners for at least another grand.  So gfy.

So then why do you view him donating $1 million, which could go into helping open the job back up and helping with damage, as a negative? 

My purpose of asking you that wasn’t to tell you that you should donate - I’m a college kid with nothing to offer.  There is no shame in not donating.  My point was that any donation should be appreciated, and saying a $1 million donation “doesn’t impress you” sounds stuck-up and entitled. 

I wish you the best in your recovery regardless

See above Teppe rd million is less than a buck to you and me.  Does he have to give anything? No .  But if you do for God's sake be sincere as to your means.  Million to Teppe r is as sincere concern as trump in New been yes terday.

If you haven't noticed this isn't the only thing he gives money for. Your point would be valid if this was the sole cause he supports.

This  is where you say "Yeah, I probably jumped to conclusions" not doubling down

A million dollars is a million dollars.  You’re literally holding it against him because he’s rich.  That is illogical.

And who cares if it’s “sincere”?  If someone gives you $1 million, are you gonna not accept it because it “isn’t sincere”?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
