I'm not a fan of Tepper's, but Rock Hill dropped the ball. Sure, they made a terrible deal, but they signed on the bottom line and promised to make a sizeable amount of money available for the development. They failed, tried to come up with an alternative and Tepper didn't bite. Rock Hill bit off more than it could chew.

Frankly, there’s a good chance Tepper is playing high-level hardball with Rock Hill as a shot across the bow at Charlotte. The hard bargain Tepper has chosen to drive in South Carolina could be a precursor to the hard bargain he’ll drive in North Carolina

If the municipality does not want to provide their side of funding, then why are they up in arms that Tepper is changing his plans?

You know why…because the municipality is going to lose a ton of tax revenue from property. Income, and tourism tax dollars. The municipality played hardball and lost their tax money. Not Teppers tax money.

One of the issues is Rock Hill and public officials could have never predicted the pandemic which hurt the financial obligation. I don't believe the city or county can raise the money to fill the $225M financial obligation.

      Scheme and fit matter definitely, but if you are an NFL QB (especially a talented one) there will be flashes and some signs. I think the ones that get their careers broken are in inadequate offenses (bad weapons, bad OL, no running game etc…) and a constant turnover of staff can do it. Basically what the Bears did with Fields and what we have done with Bryce so far.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I mean when Rhule was on the hot seat and finally got fired, we got pumped and Wilks truly brought some culture back to the team for a brief window. Reich came in and when he got canned there was no hope or excitement, we actually got worse and we are still kinda there until proven otherwise. Some are basically trying to sell this as BY's actual rookie year as well which doesn't exactly draw up much enthusiasm and tempers expectations whether that was their intention or not.

      Yes, but Bryce Young is what amplifies that concern for me for a super green HC and OC.   it’s all and marriages by Tepper IMO.  Canales and the new OC probably would have a better time getting their O running with a vet QB that is a natural fit.   again, I’m not arguing Canales and Morgan should be catering to Bryce at this point.  Just pointing out how pointless drafting Bryce looks at this stage.  And I don’t disagree you either can play or can’t and the O is irrelevant at this level.   I mean fit matters at this level.  Everyone is too talented.  Fit makes or breaks careers.
