What is Tepper seeing that nobody else here sees?

Oh I know I can tell since he took over team. All he ever wanted was a soccer team, tell me different.

He’ll make far more money from the panthers than that little soccer team will ever make him.

Tell me different.

Not looking good so far. Tell me different 

In 2021, the franchise value came to 2.91 billion U.S. dollars.

Panthers are worth approximately 700 million more than they were when Tepper bought the franchise.

You know what you know, but sometimes you don't know what you don't know.

Some folks don't understand the difference between intelligence and aptitude.

I've got a friend who could take a computer apart and put it back together blindfolded in the dark with one arm tied behind his back. Suggest that he change the oil in his car himself through and watch his eyes glaze over.

Making money in business isn't the same as understanding football. Assuming that just because someone has done one they can also easily do the other shows a lack of understanding.

Yeah 50 million to Tepper is the equivalent of someone with 100k in the bank spending $312.50, literally.

People don't seem to grasp this.

I think Tepper is more fuggin greedy and tightfisted than most folks think.  I look at public giving by Michael Jordan compared to tight fisted fat fug tepper and see tepper as the loser.  I think hed sell this team down the river if he could make a dime on it.

Yeah, but that's like your opinion man.

Perhaps, but that wasn't the claim I was attempting to discredit.

Sorry for the semi snide reply,  but caring and being able to execute are two different things.  That is all I was trying to say.  He cares to make a poo ton of cash in pro football dealings, most probably will ( money begets more money ), but I do not think he has the smarts to have a perpetually winning franchise with the Panthers. Or possibly even a winning franchise period.  And I think winning to him probably means more money wise than actually winning games.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
