I mean, what the Panthers have been doing has been dumb.  Proven dumb. Hence, the losing.  Hence, being a comedy tour. 

Fitt is only good at his job via the perspective that he didn't actually do anything and was wallpaper in Matt Rhule's office his entire time.   Which again, gets into the nonsensical mental gymnastics I have grown tired of hearing.   Rhule becomes the scapegoat for all.  And Rhule is a dirty liar if he dares says others were part of the flaming bag of dog poo lol.  

Like I said, praise away.  Not everyone has to do the super fan schtick at the start of every season.  Something you have to accept.   Especially, when an org has been one of the worst in the NFL for some time now. 

Dude, we all get it. You don't like Fitterer. You think he should have been fired. Everybody gets it at this point.

The problem is that the reasoning behind your argument is, well... To be brutally honest, stupid.

And it's not a super fan thing. The vast majority of people here would agree that Fitterer will and should be given a chance to see what he can do without having to answer to The Meatball. That's where we are.

There are only a few people whining about it. You just happen to be the most vocal.

For me, autocorrect is a blessing and a curse

The only complaint I had (other than I thought they would both be axed prior to 2019) was that he should he canned Hurney first and let a new GM lead the HC search.  Who knows, had he done that maybe we don't wind up hiring a buffoon because of a plate of meatballs?

A lot of us wondered about that.

We've learned since his firing that Tepper actually became disillusioned with Rhule after his very first season, but still stuck with him for what would have been two more.

"Patient" is definitely one way to describe that.

You are not fooling anyone.

We all know LCF will be sitting on the couch with you.

Oh, she will. And when the Cowboys games are on, I'll be sitting with her.

The parakeet will only be sitting with us for the Dallas games, though. When the Panther games are on, she throws a fit, goes back to her cage and sulks.

(not kidding about that, she really does)

Parakeets: highly intelligent for birds, questionable whether they are as intelligent in key ways as small human children. 

Sounds about right for a Cowboys fan.

Lady Cowboy Fan thinks it's hilarious

Look every time this year you do your thing.  I get it.  You go to the mats for anyone that says anything about someone currently employed on the Panthers.  We do this dance every offseason.   

the Panthers strategy has yielded a team that hasn't had a winning season in a half decade.   Barely won in the last decade.   So you constantly throwing that they clearly think different in my face, doesn't slap.  Nor does pretending like people can't be questioned.  The NFL is slammed full of idiots doing stupid stuff just like every other walk of life. There are people literally running #1 super power on planet Earth right now that can't tie their freaking shoes.  In both parties.   Literally can't. 

and yeah, when you create one of the biggest jokes in the modern day NFL (which was the Rhule era)....you likely should burn it all.  I think that is the best play overall.   You don't keep part of that circus bleeding into the next era.  And I also believe when long eras have run their course and you claim to start fresh and new......you should actually do that.    Not keep a Marty Hurney around.  Exceptions to everything.  But overall, that's my stance when organizations find themselves where we have been.  

Again, no.

What's you're suggesting is just dumb, regardless of who it's aimed at, and not just in terms of football.

Why, under any circumstance, would you fire someone you believe is good at their job just because they were associated with someone who's bad?

That's just goofy.

Damn

A few others probably said the same thing.

I suppose this would be considered the one week notice...

Here's an unusual story...

He's mentioned a couple of times in the practice squad threads along with a highlight reel or two posted.

Well in the real world of the Carolina Panthers…they haven’t won in a half decade.  Have a grand total of 2 winning seasons in the last 10 years.  

and in the real world, Tepper is in this “game”to build his wealth and influence.  Anything else is just fun icing on the cake.  

and yeah, when you got a flaming bag of dog poo era like the Matt Rhule era was….I most certainly advocate throwing it all out the window.  

I’ve acknowledged there are exceptions to everything.  Eagles?  The worst coaching era their GM has been part of?? That coach had a better win % in Philly than any coach in our history has pulled here.   And opened up with back to back winning seasons. Which makes the majority winning seasons.  Hell, he was part of a freaking unicorn.   He actually was part of a college football coach actually seeing success in the NFL.   There was no clown show to throw the baby out with. 

Yeah sorry, but this idea that coaches and GMs should be fired together is probably one of the silliest I've seen.

Strategy like that would mean essentially rebuilding entire front offices and coaching staffs every few years. That kind of organizational instability even older Al Davis's Raiders would look down on.

To top it all off, while decrying David Tepper as an owner, you are at the same time suggesting that he should be in charge of reorganizing the entire team structure every time somebody gets fired.

I hope this is one of the times you're bullsh-tting because this is some of the dumbest takes I've seen around here in a while.

Out of curiosity, anyone else see this?

Butker part 2?

Taylor wasn't anything special.

Maybe he'll be better there but I'm not necessarily expecting it.

To be honest, I'm not sure anything much is gonna come from this lawsuit outside of the knowledge that Bill Bidwiill is a sh-tty owner.

(not like we didn't already knew that)

I believe every word.  Cowboys fans are the worst.  You married one so you asked for it. My God have mercy on your soul. 

I'll accept responsibility for marrying a Cowboy fan.

I maintain however thatI did nothing to deserve a traitorous parakeet

You two should get a room. You're starting to sound like an old married couple bickering about who farted.

Nah, I got a room with someone much cuter

Granted, after the two week notice thing I may not be here for long

I’m not talking about being in sync, working well together or any of that. 

literally nothing I am talking about is personality driven.  We aren’t having the same convo. 

I’m talking about the predictable nature of deflecting blame via an unpaired coach/GM affords the owner.    I simply prefer it not be that way.  The problems are generally laid at the feet of the guy leaving and crazy mental gymnastics pulled for those left standing. We see that with Fitt now.  Seen with others prior. 

So you just do a variation of what Tep does. Problem isn’t Rhule, it’s Hurney.  Problem isn’t Fitt, it’s Rhule.   My preference is to take that off the table.  Hire people together to do it and if they can’t move on.  That’s my preference. 

your counter argument is arguing against things I’m not saying.  Can two dudes not hired together work well together? Yes. 

Hurney should have been fired with Fox.  Rivera should have been a paired with his own GM.  And when Ron and company’s time was done you start clean. You can argue exceptions to everything.  But as a fan? Yeah, that’s what I want.  

Yeah...not at all how it works in the real world.

Throw in too that there are plenty of situations where one guy is better at his role than the other. What you're advocating is the proverbial throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Under your logic, the Eagles should have fired Howie Roseman about three coaches ago. Yet during that span they've been to the Super Bowl twice.

Guess it's a good thing they don't listen to you

Get used to the guest room. I have a suspicion that you will be transferred to the Dallas office. 

True Story: We have a one year old parakeet that throws an unholy fit every time a Panthers game comes on.

When the Cowboys play though, she sits contentedly on Lady Cowboy Fan and watches.

I wish I was making this up 🫥

Gonna try this out. Wish me luck

Just not ours...

Taylor will now be playing for the world champs.
