David Tepper meddling

[Pantherzack179812]

Missing what David Tepper had done to meddle in the team he owns

Gave Ron a extra year, half the people here already hating on him we're pissed when he gave them the benefit of the doubt. 

Kept Marty Hurney. So firing everyone and drafting himself is what you wanted him to do? You can't make a decision on Marty... The GM everyone speculated Tepper wants AND Marty's contract expires in April... DT isn't going to tell the media Marty sucks, but we're stuck with him until after the draft. It's probably the truth, the Steelers GM will likely be hired and Marty will be head of scouting or assistant GM.

Brought a MLS team to Charlotte: god it's horrible to help our economy 

Building the team a REAL practice facility and complex.

News flash nostalgic people, you wanna whine about free agency, players don't like to practice in 100 degree days while sleeping in college bunk beds... All so you can go watch them on grass hills suffer for free. It doesn't give you a competitive advantage, it costs you FAs... Those same people who complain about wofford will talk about Jerry's ballroom. 

 

Cam Newton. Whether you like the decision or not, tepper hasn't even made one yet... Frankly, our franchise seems like Cam Newton featuring the Carolina Panthers. If Tepper feels like healthy Cam holds the team back, then I guess it's his investment. 

 

I feel there is a difference here then Jerry Jones (the one people love to compare him with) who is literally the GM of his football team... Even then, if you don't have 2.7 billion to offer tepper, vote with your wallet and root for another team. 

If you think owners are not involved, get real. Bill Belichick wanted to trade TB and keep JG, Robert Kraft stepped in knowing it would cause a circus. A franchise that has 6 rings this century... including one after that incident. 

You think The colts owner had no involvement in 2011 moving on from a multiple time leauge MVP, Super bowl winner, and career Colt QB Peyton Manning to get Andrew Luck?

maybe it isn't "meddling" by your definition - but he's firmly made his stamp on this team, for better or worse (and won't shut up about it either).

equal chance of us looking back in 3 years and saying "wow, amazing!" as saying "wow, atroicuous!"

Buck always stops with the QB. Doesn't matter if you have two Christian McCaffrey's in the backfield. People are going to ask who is throwing the ball. Quarterback worth his salt will always be the face of the franchise. If Cam is judged only by his W/L record meaning we go as he goes, why are you blubbering about people discussing him?

Can you really meddle in something you own?

just as long as we aren't saying "missed opportunities" or "it is what it is"

As a fan I like the direction the team is going. I feel Dave Tepper and company are going to build a championship football team.

   Kevin Colbert signed up for another season in PIT. So he’s out.

true. 

it isn't meddling when you just don't have a clue what you're doing.

it's like buying a porsche and letting your self proclaimed "great" driver (hurney) take it 90 in a 35 on a drunk joyride then wrapping it around a tree. 

[chknwing]

well he owns the team, he can do what he wants.  When "you" own a team, then you can sit back and do nothing.  But me, if I paid billions for something, Imma make dam sure its what I want and you can give it any name you like, even meddling.

Don't know about the semantics, but you can definitely screw it up.

I haven’t seen it that way yet, I’ve actually love everything he’s done so far.

the cam situation regardless of how he handles it, I’ll back the decision as long as it looks like we have a plan for a successor in place if moving on from him is the plan. 

[Waldo]

Meddling implies he owns it but doesn't know what he is doing, he is getting in the way and/or treating it like a toy and not a business. If he is involved in the business but adds value or stayed out of the way after hiring people to run it then it wouldn't be meddling. Too soon to know for certain but it certainly could end up that way unfortunately. The way he kept Hurney, hired the VP and hired Rhule are not encouraging but it really is early.

And the fact that he feels the need to find every camera in Charlotte and be his own personal hype man for the moves he’s making just scream lack of confidence. don’t boast until you’ve had success. real Gs move in silence like lasagna.

“Hurney is the greatest talent evaluator Eva”

”Matt rhule is the best program builder EVERRR and will build us into a perennial championship contender with all of my infinite resources”

 

yeah....prove it

[GoPanthers123]

If he sees people doing stupid poo then it’s his duty to correct that.  I’m on board with whatever he has done so far, everything makes sense.
