It starts at the top. Having a petulant man-child for an owner isn't going to work and the media is eviscerating him.

It is possible the NFL punishes Tepper by taking draft picks from the Panthers …..not that they have a lot to give. 

They better fuging not. They can punish HIM with a massive fine or suspension or something but no need to punish the whole orginization and the fans even more for his stupidity.

The last precedent for this was in 2009 when the Titans owner flipped some fans the middle finger and he was fined $250k.

Throwing a cup of water at someone is technically misdemeanor assault so I’d assume the fine will be higher than $250k. But I think it is highly unlikely the NFL docks draft picks or punishes the organization in a meaningful way.

I think the Athletic article today said if this was a multiple incident situation draft picks were on the table.   Since it’s not it’s just likely to be a hefty fine.

The L take of L takes in this thread lmao.  Thanks for the entertainment.

Tepper is incredibly immature and has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old at best.  It really makes you wonder how he found any success in business when he can’t even conduct himself in public.  Probably insider trading.

I think “integrity of the game” issues take draft picks away this is just an owner being stupid but it didn’t mess with the actual game.

The real punishment is broadcasting to the rest of the league that not only is he incompetent at running a team, he’s unable to function as an adult in public.

I don't even think it bothers him, no word from our PR department... or the NFL for that matter. He just gonna ride it out for the rest of the week. Monday will be a new slew of headlines.

If they take draft picks, then this team will take years to recover.

So what do you think proper punishment is for this? Seeing as how players have been simply suspended for much, much worse and often just a handful of games.

It’s going to be interesting 

it could've escalated very, very quickly with a very bad situation and a public relations nightmare for the NFL in that box

we all know people, and have seen people, go bat poo crazy at games and people get hurt over far less

if that Jax fan had been a little bit more athletic and a little more drunk, a very ugly scene could have played out 

the shield isn’t going to want that to happen

If that guy would've jumped into the box and whipped David Tepper's ass I would've started raising the funds to build a statue of him out front of BOA.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
