And the majority of those people are cowboy fans. It would be a major disaster if another NFL team moved to Texas. Ain't nobody going to those games unless that new team is playing the cowboys.

No they aren’t. The majority are quickly becoming people from out of the region or state entirely.

Unless he goes overseas, he’s not going anywhere. These days, Charlotte is a bigger media market that Pittsburg and Baltimore. There isn’t a larger market left  without a team.

You are correct. The NFL media market is not the same as the local Charlotte media market. In fact it is larger and our current market is in the top ten in the NFL. All of the other NFL media markets already have teams and a few are saturated with two teams in their markets. Doubtful  that he would move unless it is international out to a smaller market.

Also in regards to the idea or belief that he is not going to pay. He will pay and 10 days ago has offered to pay the entire cost upfront with Rock Hill paying him back. This seems to me that he is just considering his options and waiting to see if something else happens that makes the deal sweeter.

I want to know how to get in the con of being rich AF but getting other people to pay for what I want. 

225m is nothing to Tepper and he is acting like a little bitch about it. He could pay it and not blink an eye. This team has went to poo since he bought it.

The Charlotte media market is #22 in the U.S. There's a reason why the team is called labeled "Carolina" and not "Charlotte" and why the the pushes the whole two states thing so hard. The Charlotte market isn't big enough to carry a team. You need the broader region.

Ouch...zing!

Separately on Tuesday, Climer ripped Tepper in comments to the Charlotte Business Journal.

“The bottom line is that our community deserves answers,” Climer said. “The city, the county, the state and the Panthers worked together constructively for a considerable period of time at great effort to bring to Rock Hill a world-class sports entertainment center. David Tepper came to Rock Hill promising us Jerry Jones and ever since then he’s given us Dan Snyder.

I live in Rock Hill, but I'm also a Charlotte native.  I grew up near UNCC, so a lot of my childhood was zipping around Charlotte.

Upper York County is part of Charlotte-Metro (Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Lancaster).  Playing the SC v. NC thing doesn't make sense, it's "Us" now.  Also the perception that SC residents are a bunch of country bumpkins doesn't make sense either.  There is a lot of wealth that has moved into York County from New England and Midwest.  Everyday, I see a New York plate.  Home values have skyrocketed.  Land is getting harder to find.  Residential zoning is sprawling.

Anyway, the construction down there is balls deep.  I drive by there all the time.  They have already worked on the new interstate exit, acres and acres of land has been cleared.  Construction is well underway.  It'd be an absolute shame for ALL of us Panther fans (regardless of your physical location) to see this just end.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
