Tepper and his soccer facility so glad he is ‘excited’

I am going out on a limb here but I guessing he didn’t mention the panthers once.   

Why would he mention the Panthers? Would you expect him to mention Charlotte FC when making a media statement about the Panthers? Where was your outrage when he didn't mention the soccer team on draft night???

I can tell you as a fan of CLTFC, that his ownership of that team is just as inept as it is of the Panthers. Only those who know nothing of the situation would claim that Tepper favors the soccer team more. He is 100% more invested in the Panthers, as evidenced with how hands-on he is. 

I’m glad you are a fan of soccer 

It means nothing to me

truthfully Raleigh. Cary. Chapel Hill are soccer hot beds and it would have been better if the owner of the hurricanes made the investment in pro soccer 

he knows how to run a franchise and if MLB  comes to the Triangle, bad news for the Durham Bulls but that MLB team will be supported 

for me, watching what  Tepper has done TO THE PANTHERS is putrid

I'm trying to tell you that as a fan of both the Panthers and CLTFC, I can see clearly which team Tepper favors, and unfortunately that team is the Panthers.

Cares more about his soccer team than football. Clown 

Then he would be having them do better than the terrible product out on the pitch each week. 

 

Both of his teams are trash, and he's the common factor. 

Can he just sell? Or can he move them and we get new franchises?

Yeah, awesome facility.  Tepper also took all the fields there from the charter school thats next door and now the kids dont have anywhere for recess and gym.   I mean he bought land there big enough for 3 soccer fields ext to the facility, sodded it and fenced it in which the FC uses for practice.  (its pretty damn sweet)  But I guess its not enough b/c he got the landlord (Levines) to take away access to the fields on the other side of the school so his soccer team can use it whenever they want... screw the kids!!  

Tepper sure is a swell guy. 

He literally owns zero land there. Levine owns every acre.

Correct me if I'm wrong Soccer watchers, but didn't Tepper fire a coach who was overachieving in the middle of the season out of nowhere?

Not really. He was meh. Not hideous, but not really tearing it up. This year's coach has been a Reich like hire IMO. Just uninspiring and gross.

Actually the players were about to revolt because he was an asshole. Soccer is weird that way, you can’t be a Bill Belichick type and expect players to listen to you.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
