I’m giving him a pass on his earlier years, just too green as an owner and too much money, wanted immediate results

 

Where having a guy like Tepper over Richardson (RIP BIGCAT) is the ability to spend for having the best possible coaching staff, scouts, etc. There’s no salary cap on coaches and based on the staff the Panthers put together this year, Tepper had a massive wallet flex.

 

When it comes time to a stadium (I personally don’t want one, I love BOA) but Tepper will have a massive flex on

 

When it comes time to deciding Stroud or Young, I want Tepper to give an opinion but Fitterer and Co to choose who they feel is the best player, not who Dow Jones Tepper wanted

The franchise has been terrible under his ownership.

Losing season after losing season, the PR disaster of the training facility etc etc.

How has he been a massive asset again?

Hiring Matt Rhule was his biggest mistake. There is a lot to like of what he said in this press conference. He admits he’s not a football expert, so he’s not a cocky know-it-all. He let Scott and Frank and the scouts do their job and stayed out of the way. He has a good grasp of what it means to own a business and hire the right people so that you can let those people do the job you hired them for.

I mean that tweet shows that he pressured the GM to trade up to #1 overall. 

That's a meddling owner who knows about as much about football as your average Huddler.

Besides his vast wealth I just don't see how he's been an asset. He's had whatever the opposite of the Midas Touch is so far.

He made a massive mistake with Rhule, but he seems genuinely like a guy who learns from his mistakes and is determined not to repeat them. This is a very good thing.

Beats the hell out of JR's "family" approach to running a team.

Nah, way too big of an easily-avoidable hole to dig out of so quickly. May be trending in the right direction though.

Yeah, I think a better title for the thread would be "Dave Tepper CAN become a major asset." I hope he does and continues to be. We'll see.

Results matter.

I like the direction we appear to be headed but until we get there, he has been an extremely unsuccessful owner.

See my reply above. I agree. He's not proven to be an asset up until now, but he seems (emphasis on SEEMS) to be learning how to be one. I hope he is and continues in that direction.

You’re reaching pretty hard on the meddling part. He didn’t meddle with Rhule either he just made a hiring mistake and gave him too much power. Did you watch the press conference? They talk a lot about the process on the trade. There’s no doubt the team has not been good yet with him as owner, but he seems to be getting a lot right now that Rhule is gone.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
