After more than three hours of debate Monday night, York County Council narrowly voted to approve its end of a package that clears the way for the NFL team to move its headquarters and practice facilities from Charlotte to an undeveloped site off I-77 between Cherry Road and Dave Lyle Boulevard.

Gantt isn't exactly the world's biggest fan of taxpayer money going to things that are owned by guys like David Tepper.

To be perfectly honest, he doesn't really seem to be all that big a fan of David Tepper in general.

Taxpayer money should not be going to buildings owned by billionaires. And then those same tax payers get charged to go see a game inside that same building. And did I forget to mention that a drink will probably cost $5-10

Ah, ok, I see what happened there.  The reason everyone is pissed is because Tepper didn't just buy the land for the facility.  He bought all the land around it as well, and then got that land included in the tax breaks.  Basically, he can now develop or sell that land and it's at a competitive advantage over any other area in the county.

This is also now Teppers leverage when he wants to build a new stadium.  He "could" now build it in York county.  Sure, I think it's a mistake and he'll learn what the Knights learned.  The question is will the city and county leaders have the balls to call his bluff when he tries to use it.

      Are the Panthers still coddling Bryce?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      You can have 3 QBs on the roster, even if one is protected on the PS. I get that this is how it's done now in the NFL, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea. NfL teams also throw rookies in before they're ready, BY being a perfect example, instead of sitting them and letting them learn.  I understand Daltons presence, but he is not the future at the backup position. So it is in our best interests to churn through potential QBs to find someone with backup potential for when Dalton is gone, if BY is still the starter, to learn as QB2 at that time.  I like to get ahead

      Also, the new regime in the front office is absolutely dog shit. Pure, unadulterated dog shit. Any connection I had there quit the franchise long ago because of the horrible work environment. So yeah, that ship has sailed. Lol

      I still think people look at how Bryce ended the season wrong. Yes, he was clearly a million times better than he was as a rookie or even the start of last season, but he was still miles away from being some great QB.  He was a serviceable game manager who did some nice things, but he still wasn't a "#1 draft pick that you trade the farm for" type of player. Again, I'm never going to root for his failure, I'm rooting for him to become the best QB in the league as long as he's a Panther.  But he's still more on the wrong side of the fence at the moment for being our long term QB solution, he has to prove he can be that FAR more than the opposite, as he hasn't done anything yet to earn that distinction.
