Charlotte Pipe and Foundry is looking for new location in South Carolina and they will put their current land up for sale.  They are down to 2 locations so their search should be coming to an end soon.  They currently own 55 acres right beside Panthers stadium (Panthers stadium sits on only 25 acres).  When land becomes available, expect Tepper to move fast.  I believe this is one of the reasons he’s rushing with MLS franchise.

Getting the land is only a very small part of the equation. Convincing Charlotte to pony up half a billion on a new stadium after sinking 150 million into BOA is a big sell.

He wants to tax hotels in Charlotte so basically people from other states will pay.  Will have minimal impact on locals.

Yeah that is the theory to make folks happy but he city or county or whoever have to take out bonds to pay it up front and hope to pay it off with increased taxes. But they are on the hook for the money no matter what.

Charlotte will pay up... no one else in Carolinas can plus they just signed deal with Rock Hill so they can’t wonder too far.

The City has seen the writing on the wall and there are only a few decision makers that oppose it. They know what a new stadium could bring to the city.

A new done won't bring in more money than BOA with a retractable roof but will likely cost 350 million more to build. It will make Tepper richer but the city would get the same either way.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      RODS gotta GO

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
