Hopefully we become more than the skidmark of David Tepper's tenure so far. 

You're confusing it with "Leave skid marks' 🫥

Yeah, sorry but if you don't get this one, you deserve to be drummed out of Panther fandom

Boy, did we miss him

Why didn’t we just keep woods another year?

He switched careers and joined the WWE.

From what I understand, he's currently teaming with Kofi Kingston

I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone.....

I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud. 

It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes. 

I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back... 

I was dead set on Stroud, and after the first few years of Bryce I was tearing my hair out.

These days, I'm slowly putting my hair back in

From what I have read of him, some of the things he did might now be considered criminal now. 

Criminal or not, it was creepy as hell

Didn't we learn from the draft we can't trust anything the Organization says

I think that's just his intuition. Don't believe it's sourced.

Im happy for him but also sad to see him go

Same.

There was a lotta sh-t about his contract and the decision to keep him over Bradberry, but he always gave it everything he had.

Person doubts we end up with Alexander (or Pratt)

Those people are great assets, particularly when they're defensive players, as long as you can keep them contained. But they're crazy for a reason and they're seldom able to be contained for longer than, let's see, 4.1 seasons.

John Randle was a psycho on the field, but never had any off field trouble that I can recall.

Then there's Charles Haley, who o don't recall doing anything criminal but who often seriously freaked out his own teammates in the locker room.

Footnote from Indy...

If we're purely using that Rivera clip as a baseline, not sure that's much of anything. It really comes down to whether you're more motivating your players or constantly abusing them verbally (or even physically). That's an important distinction to make and I would have to assume the Seattle Storm allegations falls into the latter category.

Ray Rhodes used a massively profane tirade to motivate his Eagles squad to a victory in his first season as a coach. Lots of folks thought he had a great future ahead after that.

Didn't pan out, though.

guy legit had hall of fame talent. 

guy should also have been put into a mental institution early on. 

i mean he had a bit of a "not quite right in the head" reputation before he got here. it was passed off as "he's kind of an artist" so you'd look at him and think he's just complex. my wife and kids will bring me necklaces that are all knotted up and are pretty much impossible to untangle. they are impossible to untangle because they are complex knots. complex is sometimes code for a fuggin mess. that's hardy. a fuggin mess. 

I remember, I think it was Damione Lewis, saying "When you first meet him, you think to yourself "He might be a little off". After you work with him, spend time with him and get to know him though, you say, "Yeah, he's a little off"

Legit take a game over ability, and he was just starting to show what he could be on the field. Unreal ceiling on that dude. 

Per his accuser, an unreal bed, too

Oh no!!!! A coach said a bad word!!!!

That was my initial reaction.

It was also Lady Cowboy Fan's first response. And I should be clear that, despite being a Cowboy fan, she never swears (not even at Jerry Jones).

But I'm not sure if that would be everybody's opinion

If you don't, you can see a clip here:

All or Nothing: Ron Rivera gives fiery speech to defense

A lot of us were surprised to see that because Rivera hardly ever gave off that kind of vibe.

Fast forward to today, and now there's this:

Ben Albright confirmed this is not a parody report. I looked up the source just to see, and...yeah.

Rivera's tirade was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this story.

Yes, it's a different sport, but it's still a professional sport, and I can't imagine the NBA locker rooms (or even the NCAA ones) are exactly obscenity free.

Also granted, I was always taught not to curse with ladies present. These days though, plenty of women use just as much foul language as any guy. And again, This is an adult professional competitive sports environment.

So does somebody need to sue Rivera now?

(no, not Panther fans)

Looking at this as someone who got sworn at on a regular basis playing Pee Wee football, all I can say is boy, have things changed.

For better though, or worse?

You tell me...

Thought this was pretty cool to see

Yeah I disagree with Mike here.

Clowney, for instance, is a signing that would be akin (or even worse) than trading for Ramsey.

And Morgan has shown he doesn’t care about mid to late round picks given he just dumped them into an always injured 2nd round back last year.

 

So I’m not sure what Kaye is even talking about when he says it goes against everything Dan has done as GM.

I'm honestly not sure which way I see it going.

This... could be a little awward.

Mike Kaye doesn't think so.

And, just to make it even better...

Let the carnage begin

If Richardson can overcome the injuries, he'll still have to overcome being a bad NFL QB.

That's a bit tougher obstacle.
