A suggestion to David Tepper: Please stop doing press conferences and issue written statements instead.

Mr. Tepper,

The optics of the press conference you gave after firing Matt Rhule were quite ugly. You were cagey with your responses, and contentious with reporters who had legitimate questions concerning the team's performance, personnel attrition, and failed construction projects. I think I speak for all fans when I say, that press conference was not what we needed right now. If you are not going to be transparent and amicable, giving a live press conference reflects poorly on you and the entire organization. 

I suggest issuing written statements in lieu of live press conferences going forward. That way you can have professional public relations people proofread your statement to make sure it says everything you want it to say, and avoids pissing off the fanbase more than we already are given the team's 18-35 record since you bought the team. Maybe after the team has some success under your ownership, a live press conference would be more appropriate. 

A simple suggestion for you going forward.

I disagree. Yesterday's press conference was what the fan base needed, a vocal response from the owner. I dont give a poo if he has a feud with some reporters. I also dont care about his property mishandlings. I wanted a vocal response to the Rhule hire and what he was going to do next and I got it.

Whoever the reporter was that listed all of the failures and shortcomings of Teppers tenure here in Charlotte including the Rock Hill debacle needs a raise. Well done. Probably won’t be allowed back in the building 

anyone know who it was

Agreed narddog.  

He did what fans have been clamoring for, no filter, straight shooting.  You got to see his true feels about it; not many owners are willing to do that and honestly, it's refreshing.  I haven't been the biggest fan but he took it.  Would like to see anyone like the Haslams or heck, even Irsay face that type of music.

Yeah he didn't make the best choice with Rhule, let's just move forward and hope we figure the next one out.  He's one of the only owners that doesn't feel like this inaccessible billionaire elite too good for the fans.  He's at least on level and accessible to receive the fan backlash, others just avoid it at all costs.

i'm kinda surprised a guy coming from the corporate world didn't have a more polished act there. i actually expected him to be frustratingly stone-faced and inscrutable 

I don’t know his background but I think his corporate background was just hosting dinner parties, hanging out at golf courses, and informal settings trying to convince other millionaire and billionaires to contribute to his hedge fund. You can tell Tepper is not a corporate talking robot. Good and bad advantages to this.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
