Not one tax dollar. None. Zero. Zilch.

I doubt Tepper is going to move the team for multiple reasons. 

  • I doubt the NFL owners will allow him to move from this market. 
  • He has a second franchise in Charlotte FC. 
  • He has already invested a lot of time and energy into the city.

He could pull a rouge move and just go like Kroenke did, but I don't think the NFL is going to put up with it. Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

The reason why owners have been getting tax dollars for stadiums is because local and state governments allowed it, owners did it because they could. 
 

and if you take the stance that tax dollars are based on performance, you will 100% lose the team the team. Hell, He was setting up to move to rock Hill before the blow up.

I was an avid Redskins fan until Snyder…..Switched to the Panthers in 1995 and never looked back until now. Tepper is just another Snyder and it’s extremely hard to pull for anything he has his hand in.  I’m finding myself pulling for Washington again and with each passing week caring even less for the Panthers. I have a feeling, until he is no longer owner,  this team will be just what it is today, terrible.

The last two points are meaningless. They matter none. That soccer team is worth almost nothing compared to the NFL team. Miniscule value.

Plus you have to considered how horned up the NFL is for Europe. They see the writing on the wall. If they don't somehow make their brand more global, the NFL is in a lot of trouble in the long term.

Charlotte is relatively young city. Lots of people are transplants. If they start winning (LMAO) it will increase a home field advantage because everyone likes a winner  

Seems like the Panthers biggest fans come from 49ers, Skins, Eagles, Bears or Patriots families. They moved in the 80s/90s to QC and their kids first hometown team was the Panthers. We (many of those kids) are the biggest contingent of diehards. 96 and 03 were special for us at young ages and have grown into a decently sized fan base now with our own kids as fans.

Tepper is spitting in all of our faces with his horrible operation.

The NFL is about making money. Everyone gains profit for how other teams do in their markets. If Tepper moves the team, he messes with their wallets. The only thing that saved Kroenke was he made a move from St. Louis to LA. There isn't another LA to move to. He would be abandoning a market that has a ton of upside because of his own faults.

I'd rather have the team move than help Tepper subsidize the stadium

Every single person in this city D or R/ L or C understands that it is wrong to give a multi billionaire a blank check so he can win a dick measuring contest against his other 1% friends. 
 

I think it’s fair for the city to chip in a little bit, certainly not as much as he probably wants, but it is GD sickening when there is “no money” for teachers and schools, retrain police officers, give first responders a raise, or fix the infrastructure but they got tax dollars laying around for hi def LED scoreboards. Corporate welfare lol

Keep in mind that the "value" of the NFL is team value. It's like any other investment, it's value isn't based on how much raw money it makes.

Carolina is a small market team. There are ample areas it can go and be more valuable than it is here. How about Toronto? Mexico City? London? 

I wouldn't place a bet on the franchise moving from CLT but I am not foolish enough to say it couldn't happen. Tepper was a ruthless businessman, there is no reason to think he wouldn't stay ruthless as an owner.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
