Are there any examples of owners who had a terrible start and then were able to turn things around...meaning make smart football decisions? You know what I mean here

He's using his money to buy soccer teams that nobody in the CLT area will care about.

I disagree. There a lot of us who have bought season tickets for Charlotte FC. Very excited to have a mls team in town.

 

I’ll just leave this here…. Almost 74k tickets sold….,

I got to watch them play down here against the Charleston Battery.

The fan group that traveled was incredible. Wife and son were both raving that they wanted to go see a game in Charlotte because they made the experience so fun.

There is nothing about managing hedge funds that prepares you to be a NFL owner. He basically was as qualified as any of us. Owning 5% of the Steelers doesn't mean much more than box seats. 

 

Hopefully he has the capacity to learn and get better. But as of now, he is pretty pretty bad.

I can't imagine the hopelessness of following two Tepper pro sports ventures. It'd probably be less agonizing to just go outside and slam your dick in a car door.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that Tepper is anywhere near as involved with CLTFC as he is the Panthers. Seems like he just wound it up and is letting it run on his own. In my opinion it's pretty easy to view them as two distinct teams in two distinct leagues that just happen to have the same owner.

I agree with you, but if it takes a long time I hope Tepper takes a "throw poo at the wall and see what sticks" approach rather than "stick by regimes that are clearly flatlining" approach.

I prefer the "hand it over to somebody who knows what they're doing and get your dumb ass out of the way" approach myself.

In the end, the NFL really doesn't care if an owner can competently build a winning team. They care about can the team continue to bring in money and not bankrupt itself in the process. Winning doesn't even figure in as organizations like the Lions have shown for decades and the Bengals until this year. They want butts in seats (whether in the stadium or at home on couches in front of the TV), they want jersey and other merch sales, they want the broadcast revenue to roll in and no stoppages in the seasons. 

It's just business.

So, honestly, if you end up with Tepper being terrible at this, there's nothing you can do short of somehow create a scandal. And as we are seeing with Snyder in Washington, a scandal won't even force a sale if the owner doesn't want to go.

weird. I honeslty dont care who the owner is. I go to sports events because I enjoy the atmosphere and the social scene around me. Ive been a fan of shittier run franchises, and to this day i seriously dont care. Ive been in Charlotte for a VERY long time, and watching the growth and expansion of this city has been awesome and something im grateful for. The good news is that a sports franchise isnt forced upon anyone. You can choose to like it or not like it. I choose to like it. 

I highly doubt im the only one with this mentality.

It can happen, but not if you aren't willing to 1) acknowledge that you can make a mistake, 2) realize you made a mistake 3) learn from that mistake and 4) rectify that mistake.

That goes for Tepper and Rhule. I think Tepper is more likely to be able to let experience teach him and guide him than Rhule.

You're not. For many, a sporting event is basically just a social event. The game is part of the background noise. Some fans care about winning and seeing effort made to actually win. Weird.

caring and bitching are two different things. Comparing a newly minted franchise coming to your home city to slamming a door on your dick, sounds like bitching to me. Not caring.

 

you are entitled to your choice of suffering, but dont attempt to bring others with you. Its what you do in grade school, not as an adult.

This is amazing 🙌

There was a school of thought from MLS that their teams needed reasonably sized soccer-specific stadiums in order to counter the perception of poor attendance when games were held in massive NFL stadiums but if CFC can keep selling tickets at this pace that won't be a problem!

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
