ahhh...who cares as long as the panthers win on Sundays.

Trope used in this sense has the same meaning as cliche, a common or overused theme or device.  Basically, what the author means by trope is "a bullsh*t non-story that we see every single offseason which should probably be ignored".   Stories like "Lousy team is going to shock the world" and "washed-up player claims he's never felt better" happen all the time and this guy is just trying to warn us not to buy into this nonsense.  Unfortunately, our team is guilty of perpetuating this fluff.
