David Tepper's Dilworth Drop-in

Tepper really needs a PR guy or something. He had nothing to gain from doing this encounter. Like it was harmless, but like don't roll up to a place in your murdered out vehicle and come inside and immediately start looking for names. Then disrespecting the owner in front of all the customers like some passive aggressive mob boss and then just leaving. At least greet the fans who may be watching the draft there. Tell them we going to pick a good player or something. I feel that's what the other owners would've done at least.

Looked like an Eagles hat the guy was wearing. Nothing wrong with giving a guy a hard time about wearing another team’s gear in the home city of your team. In fact, it should be the standard to boo those wearing other teams’ gear in Charlotte. It’s not as much fun if no one cares about those things.

If you walk up to a stranger in a bar and take their hat off their head, you should not be surprised if you get punched in the face

Tepper kind of dumb, he doesn't have to, but he really should've just bought everyone in there watching the draft a round of drinks. It costs him the equivalent of less than a penny and would give a better story than this. Greet the fans, tell them we going to draft some great players we can all be proud of. Some may even find him cool after that and help rebuild his image a bit for nothing.

    • Cam would get in for a number of reasons, not just his 2015 season. He in some ways revolutionized the game and was an icon for a generation of future athletes. His dual-threat capability along with his unique mix of imposing size and agility forced teams to put more emphasis on big, running QBs -- whereas if he were in the 2003 draft, John Fox would've considered him at TE in the third round.
    • The crowning achievement of the best player to ever wear a Carolina Panthers jersey. So proud of Luke.  I'm working on plans to make a road trip to Canton this summer. Haven't been to the hall in about five years, and even in 2021 I'd vowed that if Luke were inducted, I'd be there for it. I was at his first pro game (preseason vs. Texans) where he recovered a fumble, I saw his first INT in person, saw his 24-tackle game against the Saints in person, saw his first pick-six in the playoffs in person, and plenty more.
    • Hard to say tbh. If cam does get in it definitely won't be first ballot. Speaking as objectively as I could. He had some very unique talents and skills, won ROY , MVP, had a 15-1 season, and brought the Panthers to a SB.  But he doesn't have much else beyond that. He doesn't have the career longevity that most QBs do that go in the hall. Doesnt have the stats or the rings either. So Cam getting in would be super reliant on his 2015 season, where he LOST the Super Bowl in. Add in the fact that Cam is a somewhat controversial player that a number of fans of other teams and media talking heads dont like or have mixed opinions on. Him getting in the HoF would be hard, IMO.  If he'd either have won the SB in 2015 or had like 5 more years of 2017/2018 (pre shoulder injury) performances, he would have a very solid shot.
