Can there be hope with Tepper?

He's his own worst enemy. Only sliver of hope is that sheer shame will lead him to hire a consultant and a team president to run things and he just pays the bills. But I do not see him and his wife changing their stripes.

I keep seeing stuff like this posted. Everyone here knows the Panthers already has a Team President right?

Serious question:  

If you were the 91st wealthiest person in THE WORLD at $21B (there are 8 billion people in the world)…Tep could buy-out 20+ billionaires.

…what would you be doing…and why would you be in a visitor box in Jacksonville throwing your drink at a fan?

Like go buy an island, buy whatever friends you want, and live your greatest life, never encountering another human you don’t want to.  You’re running your own world.

I don’t understand some of these egos…. You’re done, you made it!  Why become a low-hanging fruit for Stephen A. Smith?

You don't buy a football team if you're content to slink off to your own private island.

He wants the publicity, the ego massaging.

Oh yeah I wasn’t arguing that. I just brought it up because i don’t think some people realize that role already exists and somebody is in it. 

Most just assume it's an easy move that is 100% justified if you look at the record over her time in that position.

Hope that he develops a throwing arm? I mean, c'mon; it was an under-handed toss like a softball player tossing one to his kid. If you're going to throw something at someone, make it worthwhile. Throw a beer bottle, a chair, TV set. 

Fug, man, put some gut in it. And don't walk away. If you're going to throw something, stand up and show the guy you did it.

This is a 

‘check the box’ hire just like having a trans cheerleader ‘checks the box’

 

Tepper may be an idiot but he has hired enough around him to make him look ‘diverse’

Sports teams are a toy or hobby to the rich. It's not about making money; they have better ways to do that. He's a fantasy football player with the means to do it for real.

Oh, but it is about the money. In what other world can you own, produce and distribute a sh!t product and have a guaranteed positive ROI, despite the fact said sh!t product continues to get even worse?

Tepper paid $2.2B in 2018, right? Forbes estimates the August 2023 value of the Panthers to be $4.1B

On the contrary sports team and the NFL specifically is one of the best investments where you have a principle in the billions and its return beats inflation............better than treasury bonds for the wealthy that can get a shot at it.

The rest of it is all ego..............you don't get to this level without having one.

My sincere hope is that David and Nicole Tepper are reflecting on their ownership style and after yesterday's unfortunate display of frustration by DT, they finally decided to hire Football people to run the team. I have no doubt the Tepper's want to win, their willingness to spend money on facilities and human capital make that obvious - and yesterday's outburst was pure evidence of DT's frustration with the lack of success that he himself has directed. It's time to for the Tepper's to step back and adopt a different management approach.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
