One of these journalists got treated like a reporter, the other got ignored like a troll… But yes, lets hate Tepper for spending big money to try and make this team good and not wanting to hear from someone who writes for a shitty paper that paywalls every article online.

Just like anyone with a new job, you learn more as you work it. I think Tepper is showing a little more humility now and he’ll likely take this years criticisms and adjust for the next. You idiots want a new owner as if he’s a QB that can be traded.

Give him harsh criticism, sure, he deserves it. But telling him to sell the team is just being dumb for the sake of being dumb.

    The problem is that one of them got a non-answer that didn’t answer the question and the other wrote the article directly calling out the issues since Tepper is too much of a wuss to answer the direct questions.

    Nobody is criticizing Tepper for spending money to try and make the team better…people are criticizing him for being too involved with the football decisions, because he isn’t good at it. If he were good at it then he wouldn’t be getting criticized.

    Joe Person has viciously mocked David Tepper on Twitter before. They all have.

    When you’re the owner of a multi-billion dollar crap franchise, people are going to ask questions. There isn’t a CEO in the country who wouldn’t get the same treatment if their company was performing at the level the Panthers level.

    Y’all couldn’t wait to find a reason to go back to defending this owner and it’s so funny.

    Billionaires responding to criticism from the media by icing said outlet out of access is Not Good. This isn’t some twitter troll with a blog. It’s the freaking Charlotte Observer.

      Right. When you’re asking the public to contribute public money to build a stadium, you are accountable to the fans and citizens of that place.

      It isn’t just a curtesy.

      Part of me thinks these defending Tepper posts are digital media interns for the team. Definitely something Tepper would do lol

    I don’t think “Fire yourself.” meant “Sell the team”.

    I think it meant “Fire yourself from being in charge of football operations and let someone who knows what they’re doing make decisions.”

    Five years three coaches and a bajillion draft picks wasted on “winning now” and we are in the worst situation we’ve been in his entire tenure.

    What indications do you have to think Tepper will listen to any criticism. His entire presser was deny deny deny.

    Why wouldn’t you want him to sell, this has been a TRAINWRECK. What good coach wants to come here now? Even being paid a ton of money. No first next year, can’t evaluate the QB, horrid offensive players, oh yeah AND the owner is impatient as fuck.

    The fanbase had the wool pulled over it’s eyes and now they’re seeing the rot that’s going on in this org and wants it cut out from the core.

    One is also paid to be an opinion columnist and the other is a news reporter
