Everything with this ownership is on the level of some Curb Your Enthusiasm cringe in peak form.

It is the outright over-the-top hubris. He thinks he has just figured it all out, and can't wait to tell everyone exactly that, right down to the ridiculous poo about how Young distributes the ball. Not just Superbowl, but Superbowls!

Yeah just out of touch billionaire delusions.

It's plainly evident that everything he has done since cutting Cam Newton has been to try and change the identity of the team. He doesn't want that type of personality to be the face of the team. It's why he rejected Stroud who had parallels with Cam and made Bryce Young his savior. Bryce Young is a polar opposite to anything of that. You know it's bad when even Jerry Richardson had better judgment. That's BAD.

Typical hedge fund guy. Make a ton of money and do nothing good or useful. 

I just want to see it get merciless so that he is forced to change at some point. His way equals being a loser in the NFL

I honestly don’t think he ever will change.  He couldn’t punch his way out of this wet paper bag he created with scissors in his hands.  I think back to the early takes on Jimmy Haslem, the Browns owner.  For that first few years, he couldn’t get out of his own way.  Same poo.  The fans were miserable and were worried he was exactly who David Tepper is now…  and then Haslem took a step back.  He hired football guys and let them make the decisions.  And something clicked…  now, they’ve done some really dumbass stuff since, but they started drafting some gems, developing them, and even went to the playoffs a few years.  Led by Baker, they came damn close to beating the Chiefs in the playoffs.  But I could never see Tepper doing any of that.  He is so damn egotistical and stubborn.  Haslem wasn’t pulling up to restaurants and demanding people change critical signs of him.  Haslem wasn’t throwing drinks on the poors heckling him.  Haslem wasn’t getting on broadcasts with his poo eating grin and calling fans basement dwellers.  He was willing to take a step back and learn.  At minimum, Tepper should’ve been at that stage two or three years in.  And then he forces the Bryce pick.  And then he makes us see it through for a minimum of three years.  It’s clear he still thinks he knows more than anyone else…  and for that reason, this will not turn around under Tepper.  Our only hope is he sells, and he won’t.  He would move the team before he had to sell it just to stick it to this fanbase for telling him about himself.  He’s a fuging douche.  And sadly, because all of the decisions have been and will be so bad from top to bottom, we won’t ever even accidentally back into the playoffs because we will never have the talent or coaching.  It is fuging groundhogs day for misery as a Panthers fan.

Watching it a little further, I also like how he justifies his meddling by saying the pick of Bryce will save us money in the long-term because we won’t need elite receivers…

*checks notes*
 

appears here that we spent a first round pick in the last two drafts on receivers and also tried to trade for DK Metcalf while agreeing to pay him a huge contract.

Hmmm…

 

I fuging hate Tepper.

Sure seems that way now but like with Haslin time changed things somewhat. I agree about groundhog day but me thinks this time is going to get ugly. The staff has no one but Dalton so they are going to have to eat that mistake. It's clear QB and DC are huge issues and time sure isn't fixing those. It's going to get ugly for them and that's the place where change happens. After 2023 Tepper did shift some, not nearly enough but there was a shift. That's all we have going forward, the hope taking a beating will force his hand. It's not great but it's all I got.
