Everybody is misjudging tepper. Is he a meddling, flatuent, flaccid, blowhard carpetbagger? Well, it appears to be so far. Is he the living, walking embodiment of Homer Simpson? Well, yes it looking that way. Did he ruin the Panthers when there was a competent, nice looking local ownership group being formed? Well, there's that. But we haven't seen his real skills at work yet - just wait until the Panthers win a few games maybe a 8-9 season. Then you will see a master at work to screw the taxpayers of Charlotte and all of NC to fork over money for stadium improvements and other things he should pay for himself. Then threats to move the team. He will be great at these type of things as soon as things improve.
