Charlotte “unlikely” to contribute taxpayer money for new Panthers headquarters

Oh, I don't think they're disappointed with Tepper. You think they were begging for someone who would come in and build a football organization that would kick their ass? 😂

Fair point 😕

He took a team that was at least competitive sometimes and turned them into a perennial doormat.

The other owners probably appreciate the extra wins they get playing his team.

💵 💰 on hand and some sort of contrived "net-worth" number are two completely different animals...

...there was one thoroughbred 🐎 in the race...

...and a whole bunch of 🦨 🦨🦨... 🤣

 

The other "bidders" didn't have the funds to close so what they may or may not have bid is not relevant...

...there was only one legit bid with funding in place & ready to close 🐎👊.

Why do you love Tepper so much?

Rubin since bought ownership stakes in both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils.

Nonsense. 

He owned stakes in both prior to trying to make a laughable and ham-handed pass at the Panthers 🤦‍♂️.  He did slightly increase his stake in the umbrella company that owns both but is not in a control position of any sort.

He also sold a company he founded for more money than Tepper paid for the Panthers.

True or otherwise, this assertion is 100% irrelevant to the 🐎-race for the Panthers in 2018.  Did he get green 💵??

As far as thoroughbreds, if Robson Walton buys the Broncos (very real possibility) he's going to become the new richest owner in the NFL.

Whoah Nelly 🤚🖐️✋...I thought the other owners had already teed-up Byron Allen to buy that team?  Is this no longer the case?

His net worth makes Tepper look lower middle class.

So what? Do you have a point?

1 hour ago, Mr. Scot said:

That the NFL is courting him is probably a good sign they realize David Tepper isn't what they hoped he'd be.

If Byron Allen is no longer the presumed front-runner I thought Robert F. Smith would be next to be "courted"...what's up with that?

As for Walton and Tepper -- I fail to see the connection? 

Please explain how the NFL bringing Walton into the fold would somehow indicate the League (owners & Commish) have come to the conclusion allowing Tepper to buy a team was a bad idea?

Tepper is such a great owner we have to go back to the Panthers before Tepper to draw on successes that weren't Tepper's to attempt to manufacture an argument that Tepper hasn't turned us into a doormat. 😂

In the Tepper era, our 22-43 (33.8%) record puts us at 5th worst in the NFL during that time period. Worst in the division. Third worst in the NFC. That's pretty doormat-ish.

- Eagles (17yrs...1x Super Bowl win)

- Bucs (14yrs & 12yrs...2x Super Bowl wins)

Jerry Richardson took an expansion team that was built from scratch to within a game of the Super Bowl in it's second year.

David Tepper took over that same team with it being much better established and coming off a Super Bowl just three years prior. Under his direction, the team hasn't so much as managed a 500 season.

Now the NFL looks down on Tepper as basically everybody's b-tch and they're looking to bring in a much richer owner who might actually be able to field a good team given how the Broncos are set up.

Face it, dude. The guy you worship is a laughingstock.

Answer the question. Ask me questions once you answer it.

I'm squarely against Tepper on a number of fronts...

...absolutely 100% do not think he should get a penny of tax-payor funds to renovate/build stadiums.

It's as simple as right vs. wrong...I believe in right (or the truth if you will).

And you?  Prefer to wallow in hyperbole and #fakenews?

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
