In which Tepper could not be more different than Richardson

[Moo Daeng]

Maybe not but just speculation about who Richardson knew. Let's forget about him.

I love what Tepper's doing right now, but I honestly don't think you can compare current Tepper with 2017 Richardson.

I have heard Richardson used to be much more engaged with fans in the early years, and I would guess his involvement on the football side was greater too.  Even in recent years he certainly knew enough about the roster to get guys like Tre Boston and Marcus Ball cut for their "social activism."

So let's talk about Tepper, yes, and what we like, or don't like, about what he's doing. But continual comparisons to JR seem unnecessary.

I don't think Richardson could have named anyone outside of the popular starters on the team. Tepper on the other hand sounds like a very informed fan talking 

So scripted. Neither of them can act for poo when put in a two way.

Yeah, i love it. Tepper knows his team.....Rivera actually seemed a lil surprised by the questions.  You can tell he is not use to doing this with the owner. Lmaooooo

Rivera better be on point from here on out.

Tepper is a “hands on” owner, love it.  He is very passionate about the team and gives me confidence in long term future.

Richardson was good early on (although I suspect he has always been a racist), but he clearly lost it after his heart transplant.  I am grateful for his vision and work in getting a team (which was much harder in 1993 for Charlotte than it would be now when this area was much smaller).

That being said, he did set up a culture of reverence that bordered on a plantation owner's mentality with players, coaches, and ultimately the fans.

Even though I was wary about the new ownership, I certainly was ready to turn the page on Richardson.  Tepper was the right man to truly bring this team into the 21st century and make the right decisions (and spend the accompanying money) to make sure there is no reason this team cannot bring a Lombardi to the Carolinas.

Another case of the grass is always greener. I'm sure Richardson was utterly clueless about his team and could really have cared less.  Typical with today's crowd, revisionist history based what their biases are.  Again, the hate for Richardson runs very deep on this board and it's not remotely watered down.  The man had his flaws, but the chance for a pot shot is never missed when the opportunity presents itself.  If some of you have a  man-crush on Tepper, GREAT, but consistently trolling Richardson as means of comparison is getting tiresome.

Tepper will almost assuredly make some mistake in his personal/professional life while the owner of this team or at the very least, make an extremely unpopular move with the fan base.  I just wonder if the vitriol and utter contempt will be the same?  It's a rhetorical question, I already know the answer.

I can assure you that if it turns out Tepper is a serial sexual harasser and probable racist then I'll withdraw my support

Another thing I like about Tepper is he isnt trying to throw money at positions.  Sure we picked up Irvin and McCoy but it wasnt the ridiculous contracts for 4 to 5 yrs. it was one year contracts.
