David Tepper is a lot quieter these days. Given how things unfolded under his ownership, no one associated with the Carolina Panthers is complaining.
Tepper's gone to the fringes. He's not the meddling presence of old. He'll provide advice when required, but the billionaire is letting the football men run the operation as they see fit. And the results speak for themselves.
The Panthers are on the correct path to prosperity. There is greater stability through methodical roster building with the long term in mind. Carolina is tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers atop the NFC South, and a strong finish will see playoff football return.
