An NFL team doesn’t need to be a winner to go up in value. It can be a great anchor to start up a larger business in entertainment/data/gambling which I suspect might be Tepper’s overall goal. I look forever to the antebellum style cartoons of Tepper the carpet bagger when he moves the team.

A sports team doesn't even need that. Just look at the Hornets. Jordan bought the team for less than 300 million and sold it for over 2 billion.

I've been calling him a carpet bagger for a while.

Getting the Hornets brand back was a huge coup. I hope they can put it together especially while the Panthers stink so bad

He clearly wants to win, he clearly will spend money.  Literally he just needs to learn from his experience and step back.  Those are the 2 things he needs to work on.  Most of the rest of the blind hatred is unsubstantiated claims to convince ourselves he's bad.  Has he been bad so far?  Yep.  Could he always be bad?  Definitely.   But 2 of the main positives I can think about in an owner are strong desire to win and willing to open the checkbook, so that's a start.

Most of the worst owners in the NFL have shared a strong desire to win and a low awareness that they were getting in the way of it.

I don’t like the soccer involvement much, from my football team’s owner. Dividing attention, resources, all of that stuff. 

The concert, as it affects the football playing surface? fug that I don’t care if you can raise Beatles, Michael Jackson and Sinatra from the dead for one last show... keep it off the grass field.

Exactly this.

Concerts.

Soccer.

The football is just the money pit to help fund this. These two reasons will probably be why he never moves the team. picking #1 every year for a while boys. #NewHornets

The concerts and soccer make so so insanely little money in comparison to the actual value of the NFL team and its revenue.

I think he’ll figure it out eventually.  And if not we’ll have the Nicole era to look forward to.  At least she wanted Stroud lol.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
