We are now the team that people say "well, at least we aren't the ____________". At least we had mediocrity with JR and had hope every other season, we don't have anything anymore.

Well that sucks. We aren't there yet though. Don't give up so easily.

Stop and think about this one...............

Tepper is a billionaire hedge fund manager right?........so that's big time money with big time risk that if successful gives you a big time brass ball ego. 

So now he buys an NFL franchise..........anyone knows like the purchase of a stock market index fund that if you buy an NFL franchise it doesn't matter how well it performs on a yearly basis because in the long run like an index fund it will make you money.  In fact in the NFL your "index fund" doesn't even have to perform ever and it will still net you significant investment gains. 

The only problem is owning an index fund......like owning the Panthers is that it is not a very sexy investment when compared to the potential high flying performance of other investments or in this case playoff caliber teams. 

But its a gimme to make money as an NFL owner no matter what your team does...........the only problem is you ego is deflated big time for the world to see in the process of having an under performing team.

And its a proven fact that success with an NFL team can actually stunt your revenue if you can't keep that high flying performance on a consistent basis.........

So the real question is........

.......does Tepper love money more than his ego?..............or does he love his ego more than his money?

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
