For the sake of his own career, he should quit now. If he doesn’t turn things around next year (unlikely) he’ll find himself in Adam Gase territory. Un-hirable.

I’m glad you finally stopped camming.

My point is he’s making so much more elsewhere that the bottom line of this team doesn’t matter to him. I think he’s in this for bragging rights.

You can’t equate team value and collected income. Also revenue does not equal profit. My home’s value jumped $50k this year, but I don’t have an extra $50k in the bank. There’s also no guarantee I’ll ever see that $50k if/when I sell. The $20 mil number I put out is prob a bit old. That comes from 2015 when Goodell was set to make $20-30 mil a year in his new contract and some owners were reportedly upset because some of them didn’t even make that much. All we know about team and owner income is what we see from the packers since all their info is public. The packers made a $70 mil profit in 2019 and had a loss of $40 mill in 2020. Im sure the panthers profit is less than what the packers pull in. Now, let’s look at Tepper. If he just generates a 5% return (very conservative) on his $12 billion in wealth, that would be $600 million a year in cash income. A nfl team is a solid investment but Tepper doesn’t need it and I doubt that income is important to him.

I don’t buy this for one simple reason. Money. Before the panthers, Tepper had individual years where he made multiple billions. Most NFL owners make less than 40 mill a year from their teams. NFL money is small potatoes compared to what he was doing. He shut that business down (mostly) to focus on the panthers and charity work. The man clearly wants what money can’t buy. A legacy. He wants to win and he wants to be ‘that guy’ in the nfl. Will he ever become a nfl success story? Who knows.

JR prob doesn’t know what day it is. All that money but can’t enjoy it.

Hopefully this is Tepper pulling a Rhule. Praising and talking him up before trading him for a bag of beans.

The Panthers are quickly getting the rep of a dysfunctional org. Tepper isn’t going to stand for that as it reflects directly on him.

SC loves corporate handouts.

Yay…a new place to watch the team lose. Charlotte City Council members approved a petition Monday to rezone one of the largest pieces of land available for development around uptown — land that has been eyed as the new home of an NFL football stadium.

He’ll make far more money from the panthers than that little soccer team will ever make him. Tell me different.

He’s a massive hypocrite. Everything he preached teams shouldn’t do he did.

This hasn’t been about culture and all that. This has been about Rhule and his staff’s inability to adjust and game plan for other teams. It’s about their inability to teach the nfl game to their players. They don’t have the experience to put guys in the right position to win. Rhule could turn into a great coach — in 10 years. Do we want to wait that long?

They have generations of nfl ownership experience to pull from.

I watched some of it but my 7 year old told me to turn it off. She couldn’t stand seeing the falcons win. Tepper’s lost the kids….

His job is to win…he doesn’t do it well. I guarantee you he’s complained to a manager before about someone not doing their job. Since we can’t get refunds after watching him, booing is all we can do.

This 100%. At this point, there is no chance of landing a quality OC.

Luke said in an interview last year that he’d really like to be an OC. Thinks it would be fun to come up with ways to attack defenses.

It is late in the season.

Yeah, if all you saw is uptown I get it. Uptown is meant for work. Not so much entertainment. Covid really hurt it too. Having said that, I’ve spent time in all major American cities and most ‘downtown’ areas are dumps now compared to CLT so I’ll take it.

Compared to what exactly? SC?

They’re having to shift strategy. With the Panthers scaling back access in favor of in-house media (which is typically favorable), CO is being more critical to differentiate. I guess the Panthers could retaliate but it’s not like there’s much more they could do considering how much they’ve already cut off external media. They killed off all the leverage they had.

He’s every bit as good as Herbert if not better. He just doesn’t have anyone to learn from.

I wish one of our ‘savvy’ beat reporters would bring this up to Rhule. I’d love to see his response.

I think Rhule’s strength is recruiting and motivating young college guys. He’s not a football tactician. He really should re-evaluate his strengths and stick to them. He’d be much happier.
