Are we now actively pulling for David Tepper to fail?

I don't recall anybody wanting him to fail.  I feel like in his earliest days people loved him.  He was very visible, he went to tailgates, he got us an MLS team, he dropped plans to improve facilities. All that was juxtaposed over the things we didn't like about Jerry Richardson, and his unceremonious exit. 

I really do think he's learning, but he screwed up so badly with football decisions it's going to take several years to fix. If he's learned to stay out of football decisions, he's going to be fine as an owner. If he hasn't, we will be the jets.

He is not selling the team regardless. It makes him money. He seems to be backing off of everything and remaining more away a little so perhaps he is learning to know his place. I dont want the organization to fail more or fail harder, I want to see a turnaround day by day from here on out. If someone roots against the organization at this point I would say they should just probably support another team if they feel that toxic inside. Like it or not this is still a game and it is not worth that much toxicity inside to worry that much.

I'd like him to lose all of his money so he's forced to sell the Panthers.

Short of that it looks like we're stuck with him. 

So tell us what he is doing this season that is so bad that you hope he loses all his money and is forced to sell? How is he currently meddling and being tyrannical to the point you hope the guy goes bankrupt. Boy thats some bad karma you are putting out there. Got to watch that poo, I learned at a point in my life karma or however one wants to look at it from any sort of spiritual or even religious standpoint is very real. Scary as hell to me personally and would never wish bad upon someone who is not actively and knowingly harming myself or a loved one.

Yeah he's winning while also being the laughing stock of sports media.

 

Seems like every time I turn on ESPN or FOX they saying we are the worst team in football. Tepper literally has people talking about him as a a bad owner. He may be making money, but to his other billionaire friends he's the joke in the room. It must suck to be richer than most owners yet your product is the least successful.

Friends? You think Tepper has friends? lol

Even if he had friends you really think he would care what they think? He made billions by ruining people’s life’s. He loves being hated.

In his mind he has been extremely successful as the owner because he’s making tons of profit. The fact that everyone hates him is just a bonus.

No?  I would much rather him continue to learn from his experience/mistakes.  He clearly wants to win, he clearly came in mistakenly thinking he knew more than everyone else.  He definitely seems to be taking a step back.  I have no idea why anyone would cheer for the team to be bad long term, especially when that doesn't guarantee in any way that he would even sell the team if so.

Tepper doesn’t care about winning, he cares about being told he was right.

And he’ll fail as long as it takes or just fail completely if it never happens.

That’s a huge distinction that I don’t think fans understand. This is a toy for him, one that pays him at that. It’s just money.

And since he is clearly incapable, this franchise won’t be a winner until he is gone.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
