Schedule thoughts:

Four of the first five games are at home. Starting with Browns, at Giants, and Saints is a good opportunity to go 3-0. Shit gets real after that with Cardinals, Niners, at Rams, and Bucs.

The Panthers play the Falcons twice in 12 days. This is a 2-1 chance with the Falcons, at Bengals, and Falcons on TNF.

After that is a tough finish for a playoff shot. At Ravens then Broncos before the bye. Then at Seahawks, Steelers, Lions, at Bucs, and at Saints.

Looks like a 6-11 season to me. Vegas has the Panthers at o/u 5.5 wins.

I'll say they'll win 2 of the first 3, beat the Falcons once, beat the Lions, and pull off two upsets
 
Tepper wants Sean Payton
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-panthers-eyeing-trade-sean-210318514.html

To be frank, this feels like more daydreaming from Panthers owner David Tepper. He tried to trade for Matthew Stafford and failed. Then he spent an entire calendar year recruiting Deshaun Watson and couldn’t seal the deal. He’s got a half-built practice facility he’s opting not to finance rusting away in South Carolina. Tepper tends to talk a big game and not follow through, and this scuttlebutt about him hoping to land Sean Payton a year from now tracks with his other half-baked schemes.

Yeah. Well said.

Tepper spent all that money to own a franchise in which he can't just buy what he wants.
 
that snippet is totally unfair and im not a tepper fan. the context on the stafford, dwat, and south carolina stuff matters a lot to the story.
 
2022 Carolina Panthers Thread - Week 1 vs. Browns

What context? All those are situations where Tepper was daydreaming and thought he could just cut corners in the process of building up the franchise.
 
ummm, the context of where we offered the #8 pick in the draft for stafford and the rams offered 3 number 1s and stafford preferred to go to LA

where the browns paid dwat the most guaranteed money ever for a qb which was idiotic and no one saw coming

the context where SC agreed to issue bonds to finance a practice facility and just flat out didn't do anything. if you are on SC's side of the panther/SC issue personally i think you are an idiot

all of this sounds like tepper trying to do stuff and either people do stupid stuff to stop it or it just doesn't work out. i guess you could be like jerry richardson and not ever try to do anything
 
You just laid out the central argument. In all those situations, he wasn't willing to go big to close the deal. He offered one 1st rounder and the Rams offered three. He got outbid by a team that was supposedly out of the running. He forced taxpayers (potential fans) to issue bonds to pay for a practice facility instead of just paying for it himself.

And then got up off their knees apparently. Why isn't Tepper just paying to finish it himself? You're not disagreeing with the argument. You're just making excuses for why a guy worth tens of billions of dollars can't make his daydreams come true.
 
you are an idiot if you think that a billionaire businessman would ever allow themselves to get taken by a bunch of SC rubes

or that any reasonable way of doing business is to give someone favorable terms to get them halfway through a project so that they are pot committed to a project and just bail on your end
 
If you don't think talking a big game and failing to deliver sums Tepper up perfectly, then you haven't really been paying attention
