And if it doesn't work it has the ability to go so sideways and wrong that it directly leads to Tepper moving the team to another market for a new start.

💯

I've always maintained the odds of Tepper ever moving the team are exactly 0.00%...

...but you have a point here and bringing Mr. Whip-It-Out on-board could start a cascade of events leading to the departure of the team.

It would be an extreme outcome but when assessing "worst case" scenarios most folks are never able to assess what's truly entailed in the "worst case"...

anyone that thinks/says Watson will not get suspended based on the charges is a moron. Zeek was not guilty - suspended. big ben didnt even have charges against him and was suspended 6 games. 

I think everyone knows he is going to get suspended.  The idea is that doesn't happen until 2022, while they decide to let him play out this season while his legal troubles play out.

the NFL has put plenty of folks on the list that weren't charged 

they can do whatever they want with it.  If an irrelvant team suggests they are going to play him....social media, TV sports talk, the media will be all over it.    That means as we head into the NFL playoffs....you think the NFL is going to let Watson and some bad team take all the attention at that point in the season.  That's bad business.

NFL will want people to be hyping up and talkking about Brady, Super Bowl, playoffs.    Not talking about Watson and a really bad football team. 

 

True. And we'll also give the refs another reason to screw us over.

I don't think these trades are coming together as they are if the NFL hasn't assured a team Watson can play this year.  Sports media is already talking about him a ton with the impending trade.  If they wanted to shut that down, they put him on the exempt list now.

Imagine complaining about the biggest college football fanbase in NC and SC taking interest in the franchise when we have every opposing fanbase taking over our stadium.

P.S. Clemson fans don't sit down on 3rd down 😉

 

 

Clemson trash this season. Just the beginning.

Trash now equals…failing to pull off a 7th straight conference title and 7th straight college football playoff appearance.  

mighty high bar other fanbases are setting.

While he is far and away the most successful owner in Charlotte pro-sports history...

Tepper may be the most wealthy Charlotte pro sports owner, but MJ is the most successful. Jordan is not only a billionaire, he's a cultural icon, and widely considered the greatest ever to do what made him famous. Oh yeah, Jordan has led the Hornets to grow in worth from less than 300 million to over 1.5 billion as of 2020 while his franchise was considered one of the worst in pro sports for the majority of that time.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying...

...George Shinn is far and away the most successful...

...assumes you see wins & losses as the proper measuring stick.

Mike Jordan challenges James Dolan for worst owner in pro sports LOL.

Did you not write:

...George Shinn is the most reviled by a long-shot.

What you wrote had zero to do with wins and losses. Your first sentence was pure hero worship for Tepper with nothing to back it up except the man's financial worth.

Jordan's Hornets has also been trending up the last three years whereas Tepper's Panthers are trending down.

IMO, as long as Hou is doing the job for them, the NFL isn’t to say a word on Watson. 

they certainly aren’t  going to promise a team they will or won’t do something once Hou puts it in their lap.   Variables that don’t exist now will start to form.

      Dave Canales says Jalen Coker is our tentative #2 next season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.

      And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited
