I wouldn't. Hedge fund managers perform comically bad against the S&P

[BIGH2001]

This guy is a fuging clown. He’s not done a single positive thing and now we have a good foreshadowing on how he will act when he decides he wants a new stadium.

I have more faith in his ability to navigate to that than building a football team or being a developer

but just because you are good at something and made a poo ton of money at it….doesn’t mean you will be good at anything you just happen to choose to go do outside of your lane.  Some might.   But it isn’t some universal truth.  I know a couple brilliant people with more money than I could dream of….who are complete idiots when it comes to so many other avenues outside of their lanes.   As you noted….see Jordan.  A GOAT in many aspects of life.  You don’t need to search for a lesson in poor ownership when Tepper is your guy. 

I got no faith in Tepper in this world because everything he has touched has turned to poo and he has been a nonstop train wreck to date with all things Panthers.  Comically bad.

Just because you have money doesn't mean you know what you're doing.

Just because you earn a lot of money doesn't mean you're smart.

Just because you're successful in one venture doesn't mean you'll be able to find success in all.

Drive doesn't necessarily mean success, either. Money plus drive doesn't necessarily mean success. 

You have to know what you are doing. You have to learn. You have to be able to learn and be willing to learn which means willing to admit you don't know what you're doing. You have to be willing to change course and adapt.

I'm just not seeing it.

Proof is in the results.

I was hoping this was going to be a joke.  Nope.  Screw him.

[Proudiddy]

fug him.  He has turned our organization into a fuging laughingstock.

Wasn't till he took over that the national media has chimed in and on several stations and occasion called us a clown show.

We are a gnat on the world's ass down here and the NATIONAL MEDIA ARE RECOGNIZING THE poo SHOW.

But the guy is not accepting of mediocrity...

And that's where you completely lost me.

3 consecutive years of 5 wins and 3 consecutive years picking top 10 isn't even mediocre. It's just bad. 

Keeping Rhule for 1 more year only solidifies that he seems to be completely accepting of the situation he created.

Tepper sucks as an owner and he’s in the top 5 worst owners, he’s neck in neck for the worst in my opinion.  Only Snyder is worse at the moment. 

Snyder's teams have won eight games in a single year. Tepper isn't top-31.

[Mr. Scot]

Have mentioned it before, but after Tepper got here some folks built up this mythology around him as if he were some super competent leader that would never accept anything less than the best. Basically Captain Kirk in an open shirt...

Reality unfortunately has been... disappointing.

The real life David Tepper is closer to Michael Scott than James Kirk.

He may have been a great hedge fund manager but as a football owner, he's terrible.

[Mr. Scot]

Just saw this...

You know the kind of people who concentrate on minor stuff while the major stuff doesn't get taken care of?

That profile seems to fit Tepper.

What makes a good owner?

 

I know a few things 100% about Tepper that I like.

1.  He's puts his money where his mouth is.  Say what you want about the guy but he's not cheap like some owners who are not willing to spend the money to give their team every advantage.

2. Come hell or high water he will find a franchise QB.  I think everyone will agree a team only goes as far as their QB can take them in todays NFL.  In every possible way he's done everything to roll the dice on a franchise QB and I think he'll continue to do that. 

 

Things I hate about Tepper.

1.  The Keep Pounding thing.

2.  Not winning.
