Tepper entered the pro sports majority ownership game in 2018. Since then, he's guided:

- a second-half collapse by the 2018 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2019 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2020 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2021 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by 2022 Charlotte FC

You know what to do, 2022 Panthers.

Soccer and football are 2 very different things. You only get 2 short windows in soccer to bring new people in vs football where you can make trades and signings all season

Plus, MLS is different in how contracts and money are structured. Only DP players can be paid w/e. Everyone has like a cap of $1.5M. That’s how Toronto landed 2 studs from Italy. They had 2 DO spots open. We’re a first year franchise, learning how MLS operates. What were you expecting?

You realize there's a trade deadline in the NFL, right? You can't make trades all season. 

And the expectation was not to run one of the two lowest-salaried teams, fire the coach and go on a long second-half skid.

From now on I feel like we should invest in dp players in the midfield. They have much more effect on the game then someone like Karol. We never attack from the midfield now because we don't have the talent so our attack from the wings cross it in and hope for the best is easily defended unless you play in a perfect cross

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
