I don't think that was ever an option.

Tepper wanted it to go down this year. It was just a matter of but it would take to make that happen.

I think you're spot on @Mr. Scot - which doesn't bode well for the future of a franchise we all love.

Bottom line - as @Waldo and others have pointed out is that the trade should have never been made. The fact that there were questions about each of the top prospects combined with multiple acknowledgements that the trade was made before the Panthers knew who they'd pick just reeks of incompetence. You only pay that kind of price if you have conviction that your guy is there.

I think outliers are outliers for a reason. Not to say it can't be done, but there's a reason 5'10 NFL QBs are anomalies. IMHO, for Bryce to be successful he needs to be in a perfect scenario with surrounding personnel, scheme, etc. That's a high bar to be successful, much less be a franchise QB. IMHO Bryce's peak will approach post-injury Teddy. If Tepper forces a potential coach to fully commit to Bryce, we'll end up with someone who will likely be gone in 24-months.

TLDR: All aboard the Tepper train. Choo choo mother fuggers

Late to the party, but I'd say the WCW comparison may have been accurate under Richardson, but under Tepper we're more like juggalo professional wresting - just a total clown show.

Didn't this man just admit he had a poor year because he was playing scared? I sure as crap don't want someone like that on my team or in my locker room. Not a leader at all. Sir Puss can pack his things. Sadly, I am pretty sure other teams will feel this way as well. He is doing nothing but hurting his possible future contract and/or trade value at this point. 

Makes me wonder what his teammates think. Derrick Brown and Frankie Luvu are FAs too, and they sure as fug didn't take it easy.

Have seen reports that the final straw was when he ran into Nicole's office, grabbed her purse and ran off screaming that he didn't know her.

"You know, I've been told I'm a savant at play calling. Have you ever thought about running straight towards the DB, and then stopping and running back towards the LOS? I call it a fake-a-roo, because you fake out the DB and get more room. You should try it this Sunday."

I think it's safe to say that most of the remaining Bryce Young fanboys are diehard fans of Spiderman comics. They're confusing Bryce with that fictional scrawny nerd.

It's all deeply psychological, and I suspect of Bryce fanboys have only become interested in football because of him. It's comical how little they know football, which is something they unfortunately share with the Teppers.

lol - Miles Morales catching strays out here

This is the worst franchise in football. Absolutely horrible. I can't understand how Fitt still has a job unless Tepp is the one making all the picks.

I think Person was too generous to Fitterer in the article. He gives him credit for extending Donte Jackson and for signing Pineiro. IMHO the Jackson signing was a mistake given his injury history and streaky play. He lucked into Pineiro after signing Zane Gonzalez, who seems to have the same trainer as Jaycee Horn.

He also gives him credit for Corbett, who has been good, but fails to mention signing Cam Erving and Pat Elflein at the start of the 2021 FA period, who were not good.

It has to be way easier to list good things that Scott Fitterer has done than to list all the bad things. What an incompetent buffoon.

Possibly a handful of smurfberries - not much else.

Have the panthers ever been blow out this much in one season ever?  Every game is a blow out. 

If another team gets 20+ points it's a blow out with this POS offense.

Don't think that Thomas Brown has a career as an offensive coordinator ahead of him.

Thomas Brown is going to go from being on HC short lists to being an equipment manager.

Mingo looks good. Keeps getting separation deep, Bryce just can't hit the deep ball.

 

Chark can go literally anywhere else.

Chark threw Young under the bus for the audible in TN and he has hands of stone. Dude should be cut immediately. 

Bryce makes Jamarcus Russell and Josh Rosen look like all pro QBs. Worst #1 pick ever. 

Brown, Luvu, Jansen, Hekker, Corbett if healthy. Maybe Moton, maybe Piniero

Disagree, we would have lost a year of development, the reset would have needed to wait another year and you just don’t get much time in the NFL. We should have just drafted a kid who’s pro ready with legitimate NFL tools and developed him. In an alternate universe where we just don’t make any trades the past 2 years we could have Levis, CMC, Moore, Thielen, and be in a position to draft MHJ and have the most explosive offense in the league for the next 5 years. 

I hear you - but would you really call what we're seeing every Sunday "development"? Heck - Bryce could've hired someone to call him names and kick him in the nuts for a year and he'd probably end up the same development wise.

I mean, the good side of it would be that with all this coming out, Tepper has to fix things now, right?

Right?

Similar feelings...and I was here through both 2001 and 2010.

Yep. Times like these make me wish I could be a bandwagon fan and switch teams but I can’t do it. I guess I’m a masochist or something.
