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.

    • Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.   
    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
