Could someone give an actual explanation on what makes Tepper such a bad owner other than hiring a bad HC which a ton of other owners also do?!

[panthersgreenville]

So I see Tepper getting a lot of hate but I have to say, I think it’s unwarranted. First off, let’s address the biggest elephant in the room. Matt Rhule, as absolutely bad of a head coach he is, I can guarantee that a vast majority if not all owners have hired there own Matt Rhule at one point or another before finally finding their Harbaugh, or Bellicheck or Mcvay. And yes, $70 million was a joke of a contract but at the end of the day, it didn’t effect the team’s cap whatsoever so who cares if what Tepper spent his own money on to make a splash?! 
 

So what else?! Replaced grass with turf?! Ok, I mean it’s not ideal but the Rams, Cardinals, Saints, Falcons among others also play on Turf and some of those teams have had sustained success and even won Super Bowls. 
 

Failed to get the rock hill thing done?’ Again, ok but honestly, why do is fans care so much?! It’s not a huge deal. 
 

Players and people that work for him seem to like him ok, he’s not a racist or sexual predator and contrary to rumors and speculation he doesn’t seem to be super meddling like say a Jerry Jones or someone. 
 

Is there something I’m totally missing?

Dave, its ok you don't have to come on here under a different name.   Don't hire another poo coach.  Thanks.

I’m with you. He picked a bad coach. It happens.   Successful people are easy targets for hatred. I like him better than Richardson, that’s for damn sure. At least Tepper admitted his mistake after 2.4 seasons instead of waiting 7+ like Hurney and Rivera

I think it's more so the case of just accepting he's the owner and hoping for the best.  As a fan, unless he's caught doing something awful, he's the owner and you can't do much about it.  So don't waste your time whining about the small stuff.  Definitely put the pressure on him when he makes poor decisions, (Rock Hill fiasco, wrong emphasis of upgrades/improvements) but I don't see a need to incessantly complain that he is the owner. We aren't changing that.

It is what it is.

Exactly, and remember at the time when he took over, we as fans wanted the Anti JR and that’s exactly what he did by making an exciting splash by hiring a college coach. I think he has learned from his mistake 

[Mr. Scot]

Simple answer: He trusts the wrong people.

He doesn't know jack sh-t about football himself, which would be okay if he surrounded himself with people who do.

Instead, he's trusted Marty Hurney, Matt Rhule and apparently Steven Drummond.

Do you know any billionaires?

I know three.............and they are in a world of their own.

You can't tell them they are wrong and you can't say anything that makes a difference to them......

[hepcat]

Aside from turning the Panthers into perennial losers and unceremoniously jettisoning the best QB in franchise history? he just comes off as an arrogant narcissist who doesn’t fit the kind of person who should own a professional sports team in the Carolinas. A Pittsburgh personality rubs southern people the wrong way. 

[Waldo]

Have you been around since Tepper got here? The list is so long it's easier to list what he hasn't fugged up:

Logo at midfield 

Practice bubble

That is it. 

[emcannon]

He has a northern accent and the good ol boys don't like it. Something something JR was one of us something something.

[Jon Snow]

I think it would be quicker and less typing if you listed what makes him a good owner.

I agree with the other poster Dave, you should pay me to be your official carolina huddle representative.  Salary is of course negotiable 10 year. $500,000.PER YEAR is a start. Pm for details. I have references.

Reason for hate per the Huddle :

1,. Tepper's Rich

2. Tepper is wealthy

3. Tepper has money

I'm indifferent with Tepper.  He made a mistake with Rhule and the whole training facility thing was an odd thing.

But what does bug me about him is the lack of communication.  Whether he accepts it or not, he's now a "city leader" of sorts.  A Charlotte/NC/SC influencer.  It'd just be nice if he'd make himself more accessible.  Not saying a weekly meet-n-greet or anything even close, but just speak out occasionally.  Give thoughts.  Give directions.  Give high level ideas and initiatives.
