Each of the last three or four years that Football Outsiders existed, the Panthers were my pick to finish with the worst record in the league and the first overall draft pick. They never quite got there. Then the owners of FO (who had Tepper-like traits, but were more treacherous and heartless) intentionally flew the plane into the mountainside. Now the Panthers are going to be the NFL's worst team for a long time and I have no outlet to tell people how I could see this coming. Except here, I guess. So expect a steady stream of smug "I told you so" comments whenever the Panthers come up. You have been warned.

I'll note that both Dave Tepper and Jimmy Haslam owned pieces of the Steelers before they bought their current clubs. Neither seems to have absorbed anything about the stability that Pittsburgh has had for the last half-century.
