CRA

Two sides to the story right now and we don't have the truth. RH claims Tepper's plans have impacted the ability to secure the bonds. And he refuses to talk to them. If true, that wouldn't just be RH being a bad actor. Truth normally in the middle.

Tepper probably realized he can just have training camp in Charlotte and that all the SC stuff was pointless fluff that wouldn't impact his bottom line. Jerry wanted to be in SC. Tepper probably realizes it isn't needed. He can just burn Wofford and then RH and it not actually impact him.

That isn't his primary residence. That basically his apartment for when he shows up in Charlotte. He just bought a 70 million dollar home in FL. ‘You’ve got an extra $120 million’: David Tepper ditches Florida, moves back to New Jersey - POLITICO

I think he actually went back to Jersey after FL. But it was FL for a minute. He basically rents an apartment for when in the Charlotte area. And yes, I know it is millionaire dollar home but on the Tepper scale of things that is what it equates to.

yep. NFL doesn't care how much an owner cares about the community their team is in. We just saw 2 teams move in the very recent past. Tepper doesn't give a poo about the Charlotte area. He cares about making money with his professional sports teams.

Pretty sure lots of media, analyst, etc view Pickett to Carolina with the #6 as something with pretty good odds. Just as good of odds as any other player. So.....I fail to see your issue with someone having an opinion about something widely talked about as possible. and yeah, lameduck HCs spending a high draft pick on a QB generally seems like a bad idea for an organziation. Whether your HC is named Matt Rhule or not. Our happens to be Matt Rhule and he happens to be a joke though.

I mean, this is a Panthers message board. Speculating about the future is like 95% of what goes on in the offseason. I'd probably put the odds on drafting Pickett as high as any other player.

yeah, without Tepper and RH actually coming forward with the facts on the table.....all this is still largely rumors and news leaks. Both have a duty to quit hiding and lay the actual facts on the table. my guess is the root issue is....Tepper simply regrets the idea he intitally went forward with and is going about making sure it doesn't happen.

Dan Campbell would know. If he wanted to know.

Sam Darnold never showed he was special last year. he did have a bad staff around him. But we have 4 years of Sam Darnold as starting QB in the NFL. He isn't a starter. He isn't being held back. He simply is part of the offensive problem with the staff.

NFL teams screw up so many simplistic things. Chicago knew Nagy's time was short.....then drafted Fields for Nagy to waste time with. If they were going to draft someone like Fields they should of hired a HC that could come up with him. Stability. It's like the Panthers. They are going to let lameduck Matt Rhule waste a top 10 pick on Pickett. Fire Rhule. Bring in a new HC. He most likely isn't going to want Pickett but his own QB.

He had a bad staff around him. But Fields still showed he was special at times last year. Which is what you want to see.

So nothing really has changed. Matt Rhule has had final say and still does. Rhule just has egg on his face and guys are louder in giving opinions to him. Matt Rhule is drafting Kenny Pickett. And Pickett isn’t good enough to convince the Panthers roster in camp he is a better option for success than Sam Darnold.

a good random play here or there….isn’t playing QB at a high level in the NFL. He is the poster child for bad QB play in the NFL. it’s delusion. They should just cut him.

Imagine being the worst starting QB in the NFL over the last 4 seasons....and claiming that you have proven you can play at a high level in the NFL. That's straight up delusion

I’m not protecting the NCAA. I’ve said they sucked and where I think they have been wrong and still are wrong. The majority of college athletes and college programs aren’t raking in millions for their schools. They aren’t profitable. does Bama football or Duke basketball bring in a poo ton of cash? Yes. They don’t represent college sports in general though. so what is fair compensation/payment for a scholarship athlete (with athlete perks)….that plays a sport that puts the school at a loss? Which is most of college athletics. And they aren’t slaves. They ain’t going pro either. They got better deals than the rest of the student body as a whole though. *also coaches at public universities should have a cap in terms of salary.

so.....again, how do think the salary for a full ride female swimmer at FL State should be determined/calculated. I see the emoji. I see the insult. I don't see you actually saying anything though. The NCAA sucking isn’t a defense for nonsensical suggestions and accusations.

What do you think a feel free female swimmer at FL State should get paid? What do you think a full ride male soccer player at Wake Forest should get paid? Or the track kid a South Carolina? What calculation should determine the paid salary you think they are owed? Please feel free to use your words. The NCAA sucks. But just because they suck doesn't mean going nonsensical the other direction makes sense either.

putting jean Friday and all that to the side.....the Tepper and Richardson bashers aren't the same people. Overlap? Sure. But Tepper has plenty of unique Tepper bashers. *probably has something to do with the worse run in the history of the Panthers being his ownership. Jerry's teams always won. They just couldn't stack seasons together.

College athletes should be able to profit off their own name and image if it is being used. Many of the NCAA violations are bogus too. And they should be able to work. The NCAA hasn't handled college athletes correctly. But the majority of college athletic programs aren't even profitable. And in general, the athletes in those programs, especially the full scholarship athletes aren't victims. What is appropriate pay for a full ride scholarship athlete that recieves a tons of perks vs their non scholarship or their non-athlete peers.....for a sport that brings in no profit? college football's Trevor Lawerence or Justin Fields...aren't representative of college athletes as a whole. They are anomolies. The rules for all can't be set around them.

Tepper hasn't said diddly. So he wouldn't be repeating himself. again, RH and Tepper both have a duty here. This is a taxpayer funded project. Not sure you why you are seeking to protect Tepper like he is Sam Darnold in a preseason game. Tepper and RH both have an obligation to be transparant on what is going on.

Articles are articles. Talk radio is talk radio. They deal with only the info they have access to and leaked info/talking points they are given. Basic accountability. It comes with the territory. RH and Tepper. And we are talking about tax payer money. So yeah, Tepper should come out of hiding and deal with this debacle. If people want the luxury of hiding then use your own money.

Then he should come out of hiding and address things. Like he was called out to do.

If there was a 33rd expansion team announced today and cities could lobby for it…..there would be suitors/competition. Same thing.

Last line in the article below is also true. Again, Tepper has no connection here, no history here and doesn’t live in the area. In the end, he is going to flex on Charlotte for a new stadium or threaten to leave. Maybe that’s why Tepper seems to be untroubled by the current situation. His deeper message could be far more pointed. Give me what I want, or I eventually will be gone.
