Please, David Tepper, can you stop making Charlotte cringe?

He's not one of the mega-wealthy outlandish bozos or anything but he's just made a lot of ill-timed, ill-fated, or just poor decisions and it's wearing thin on the city and fans.  

I don't think he needed an entire search committee but bringing in an NFL-experienced exec on contract for demoing and building the team he was prepared to dismantle post-Ron would have been ideal.  A strategic blow-up is just as important as the build, and I feel he's just moving forward with the biggest splash possible.  Rhule as the hot college name, Stafford as the big trade candidate, same with Deshaun.  Anc I'm sure it's why he liked Scott's "In on every deal" approach because of his big splash wishes.

Not too late to right the ship, I think Morgan and Scott seem capable and would be able to find a HC that could work for their vision.  That may be the next step in what seems to be a winging-it build.  Even if it was a yes man, having some sort of extra NFL guru at an exec level would be beneficial for him navigating his decision making from a high-level perspective.

I do think the roster build has calmed down and is on a good trajectory but it's after we had to make poor decisions at HC who basically ran it all himself for 1.5 years.  

Just get a good team together and save the swooping changes until we are.  Minus maybe a uniform modernization.

I think we are teetering on the edge of two cliffs with the roster. On the one side is that these drafts don't pan out and the roster is much worse than expected. On the other side is that these drafts do pan out and we have a good, solid young core to build around for the next 4-10 years. 

We just gotta see which way it tilts.

Evaluation of our rookies is paramount when you're a "young" roster. Especially at LT and QB two premium positions.

Even more paramount when you can't attract top free agents. Whiffing on draft picks just compounds the problem more every season.

I've never understood the notion that people should just sit down, shut up and accept bad football.

And make no mistake, the football product that's been put on the field under David Tepper has been pretty bad.

That’s what happens with fair weather fan bases. They don’t care when things are bad and provide an electric atmosphere only when things are good. This is a fair weather fan base. Not saying the people on this board are fair weather, but this fan base as a whole is 100% fair weather.

this has been going on for 25+ years. Jerry Richardson was a god awful human being and an even worse owner. He got a pass because he was from NC and and brought a team to Charlotte. No one held him accountable until casual fridays came out. 

the media here is a joke. The Charlotte observer has become trash. Couldn’t even tell you who the main persob covering the team these days are. Laughable you have to pay to read that garbage online.

wfnz is brutal. You have 2 goofball homers on in the morning who don’t know a thing about sports. You have a Cleveland guy on In the mid day with an awful show. And then you have Kyle Bailey who is more worried about maintaining relationships with Roman Harper, Steve smith, Marty Hurney, and Mitch kupchak then actually doing his job. It’s where sports figures in Charlotte go when times are tough for a soft landing spot. Marty Hurney use to go on Kyle’s show and it was cringeworthy how easy the questions were. 

then you have joe person and David Newton who might just be the 2 worst people in sports at covering their local teams. 
 

these are the people who should be holding Tepper accountable. The fans should be the ones holding these media members accountable to do their jobs. That doesn’t happen in Charlotte. This happens in cities where the fan bases aren’t fair weathered. The media doesn’t get away with this garbage in NYC or Boston. 

i remember a few years back I went back and looked and I think it was something like 28 out of 32 nfl teams had either their coach or qb (or both) doing weekly spots during the football season on their local sports talk radio station. Of course that doesn’t happen in Carolina and the fans just accept it. 
 

david Tepper isn’t dumb. Jerry Richardson wasn’t dumb. They know what this market is. They know they can do whatever they want and neither the fan base nor local media will ever hold them accountable. All Tepper has to do is continue to run a “funny” and “creative” social media account and that’ll distract over half of the fan from noticing how big of a dumpster fire this franchise truly is.

“Hey did you hear? The Panthers unceremoniously cut the most important player in franchise history who had 1 year left on his contract to guarantee big money to Teddy Bridgewater. They then traded Teddy bridgewater to the broncos and took on a $17M dead cap hit. They also traded multiple assets for an underachieving QB and guaranteed him $19M the following season before ever playing 1 snap with the team. That worked out so well they then brought back the QB they unceremoniously cut and paid him $10M with Darnold still on the team and Teddy’s dead money on the books. Can you believe that roster and asset management ?”

”Who cares!!! Bill Voth puts together the best schedule release videos on twitter every year.”

Buddy you sure are right about the local media 🙌👊...

As for Tepper...

...my interests lie with the truth, and right vs. wrong.  

There's so much fictional bullsh*t posted about Tepper and the team that someone needs to provide true facts and set the record straight, the responsibility seems to fall on my shoulders 🤣.

I believe Tepper should pay for his own stadium and municipalities like Charloot & Rock Hill should decline to help him out -- that position and being a Tepper homer are mutually exclusive...

...think about it 🧐.

Its true, we wasted a bunch of picks and a ton of cash looking for QB.  The problem is, none of those QBs are very good. Cam is homeless atm, Teddy took backup money in Miami, and we are desperately trying to find a replacement for Sam. 

Please Lord, let Corral blow the doors off in preseason.  Please.

    • If you sync both your iPhone and Mac data to iCloud, eventually, storage will fill up again unless you learn how to use it more wisely. So, we’ll go over a few steps  +1-844-476-5438 you can take to quickly free up iCloud storage now and regularly clean up your iCloud in the future. Step 1. Delete duplicate photos on iPhone With iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone, every photo you take gets automatically synced to the cloud. Each individual photo doesn’t take much space, but if you take 3-4 shots every time until you get the one you like, those megabytes quickly add up. One way to deal with it is to rummage through your library and clean out these unneeded photos manually. A faster way is to download CleanMy®Phone. This iPhone app streamlines the process by finding and preselecting similar photos, low-quality shots, and screenshots, so you just need to tap Delete.  With iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos you delete on your iPhone will also be removed from the cloud, so you’ll easily free up some iCloud space. The app is free to download, so go ahead and try it on your iPhone. Step 2. Find old files in your iCloud Drive Since macOS Sierra, the system automatically stashes old files — like movies you’ve already watched — to iCloud, which helps you save storage on your Mac. But the problem is that these files still occupy space, except now it’s the precious space in your iCloud. To see what you’ve got there and what you can delete, do the following: Sign in to your account at icloud.com. Click Drive. Go through your files and select the ones you no longer need. Click the ellipsis and choose Delete Selected. Do not forget to empty the Recently Deleted folder by clicking Delete All. Done. If you’re using macOS High Sierra, iCloud Drive is also available as a folder in the Finder, so you can do the same on your Mac. Step 3. Clean up junk files on Mac The easiest way to clean up iCloud and free up some much-needed space is to get rid of junk files. These are cache files, unneeded language files, document versions, temporary files, and downloads. When you use iCloud for backups, these files quickly pile up and become real space wasters. You can try and hunt down these files manually, but the process is time-consuming and, well, risky because you can accidentally delete files necessary for the proper functioning of your Mac. Therefore, it is safer and faster to let a dedicated Mac cleaner do the job for you.  We recommend CleanMyMac X. It comes with the System Junk module designed for quick cleanup and a safe selection of files for removal. It deletes only files that will not degrade your Mac’s performance. Here’s how to use this smart tool: Open CleanMyMac X (free download here). Click System Junk > Scan.  You can now click Review Details and select files for deletion or click Clean right away.  Do the same for Sent and Archive.  Now, go to Trash, press Command + A, and click Delete. Alternatively, right-click any email and choose Delete [x] Messages.  It’s a good idea to develop the habit of trashing any email you know you won’t need in the future right away to avoid space-hogging in the first place. Step 4. Delete iCloud emails you don’t need If you’re using an iCloud email account (the one that ends with @icloud.com), all email messages you get are stored in — you guessed it — iCloud. And while emails themselves don’t weigh that much, email attachments do. PDFs, photos, and other files people have sent to you over the months can add up to a few gigabytes, so go over your old correspondence and do some spring cleaning. Once again, log into your account at icloud.com. Click Mail.  Check your Inbox and delete anything you do not need. Right-click an email and choose Trash Message.  Step 5. Delete outdated backups Having iCloud automatically back up your iPhone on a regular basis is a great way to keep your data intact in case something happens to the phone. But the only backup you’re going to need in this case is the most recent one, so there’s no reason to store backups made months ago. This is how you access all your device backups and delete outdated ones: On your Mac, go to System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud. Click Manage and then Backups. Select a backup you want to remove and then click Delete. Step 6. Delete messages and email attachments from iCloud Old messages and attachments also take up a lot of space, so it’s better to delete them. How to delete messages from iCloud? Like with all of the steps above, there are different ways for iPhone and Mac. We’ll start with removing email attachments on Mac and then switch to deleting old messages and message attachments on both Mac and iPhone. In the Mail app on your Mac:  Open Mail.  Select one or several messages. You can also press Command + A to select all messages. Click Message > Remove Attachment(s). Repeat for all mailboxes.  Now, let’s proceed with messages. On your Mac:  Open the Messages app. Right-click the conversation you want to delete and choose Delete. Confirm the deletion. Now, click View > Recently Deleted and delete unneeded conversations once and for all.
    • Last year was torn down enough for me. If they made any progress out of it wtf do you want to just toss it? You keep the best parts upgrade the weak ones. 
    • I was about to say, if Ian Thomas is around none of our TE's has to prove anything.
