Would you preferred Ben Navarro bought Panthers in 2018 ?

[Chris Smitty]

A guy from Carolinas since his teenage years, many activities in South Carolina near Charleston who loves our states. 

Why David Tepper more than Ben Navarro ? Seriously... A bad choice for us. 

[Mr. Scot]

The NFL was never gonna allow anybody but David Tepper to buy the Panthers.

Tepper had cash, Navarro had financing.

Tepper was vetted, Navarro wasnt

I would prefer a guy like Navarro with an attachment in our states. We need this identidy from the two Carolinas.

Tepper was the next of the good ol' boys to get a team, regardless of where it was and who was selling. Navarro would by far have been a better owner, though.

100% agree.

And Tepper had the connection to Jerry Richardson's model franchise, the Steelers

Navarro was the guy a lot of people wanted, me included.

I did have a concern though. Specifically, that he seemed too friendly with the Richardson family (Jerry;s son Mark actually endorsed him). It made me worry that he might listen to Jerry regarding team direction and such, like keeping Marty Hurney around as GM for example.

But then of course Tepper did that anyway

Meh Michael Jordan is from the Carolinas and the greatest player ever but sucks as an owner. So who knows

And Tepper is a good owner ?

Navarro has a real successful sports background with tennis and his dad being a legit football coach, ties to the area and seems more likely to have hired a consultant and put the right football people in place and just sat back and let them do their jobs. So yeah 100% would've preferred Navarro. You never know how it would've turned out with him but we can already see Tepper ain't it so far.
