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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
