He is incredibly financially savvy. But I think that's what he cares about at this point. He changed the grass to turf against the wishes of every player because it saves him maintenance money. He is leaving a lame duck HC in place because he stupidly gave him a 7 year deal and doesn't want to pay another coach. And he invested all this money into building a soccer team so that people will still fill the seats all the while letting his football team crash and burn. The morale is so low among fans. We have NO hope at all with Rhule.

Yes. And he knows it too. Which is why he has completely ducked any media since the season ended. This is a bad sign for the Panthers going forward (way beyond the Rhule years) because Tepper is in over his head, too prideful to correct his bad mistakes (AND a coward).

I still can't fathom how Tepper let it get to this point. It's obvious to everyone that Rhule will make decisions that don't help the team long term but only to save his own ass. And we are a laughing stock. Rhule sucks as a coach. But this is all Tepper's fault. He has let it get to this point. Can't expect Rhule to fire himself.

I honestly don't know what is the best for teams. Ownership groups can be messy with internal power struggles. or One billionaire who has completely unchecked authority. Both have potential to suck.

He doesn't even have 25% of what it will take to purchase them. Must be a large ownership group if he will be the majority owner.

Unfortunately, he will not be fired.

Too me, that's about mental toughness. Dude was scared he would mess up. Guarantee he has practiced kickoffs WAY more than Zylstra ever has. That's not the type of weak minded poo I want on my NFL team, even from the punter. Get rid of him.

I understand liking them 25 years ago. I don't understand how those same people aren't fans of the home team after 2.5 decades. Just the nature of NC I guess.

I'd be shocked if Washington scores 20.

Oh I know, in early 90's it was Skins and Cowboys on TV every week. But there has been 25 years of a team in the state. They can fug off now.

They used to be called the Redskins. And a lot of people in NC like them for some reason.

I think you can re-sign 2 of the 3. I'd take Reddick and whichever of Gilmore/Jackson takes less money.

One of the most important things a backup can do is "game manage" and do not turn the ball over. Sam cannot do that. He is not backup material.

Ok, yes, completely agree. Just because people cheer for the team you are on doesn't mean you don't suck. I took your comment literally.

The public talks crap about me behind my a keyboard but then in person asks for an autograph.

I'm sure. And I said the same thing in that thread. They are way over blowing this.

This is stupid. He DID NOT blame the defense. He very intentionally called out Sam, the offensive line, and the special teams. Very specifically called out himself and his coaching staff. And then mentioned the "it's a team loss" and mentioned a few ways the defense could play better. This was AFTER he spent 5 minutes talking about poor pass protection, poor running plays, and bad decisions/throws/reads by Sam.

Paradis is the 2nd best O-lineman we have. That's how bad our line is.

I don't know how good they are yet. I will reserve opinions until after tonight. I am concerned about their WRs now with Horn out. Need pass rush to dominate. But the extra few days to prepare and recover from injury will absolutely help. They have less time to study our defense and will be banged up from Monday night.

Yes, achilles was the absolute worst fear. But I meant worst case for "just a fracture". If you are breaking multiple bones in the middle of your foot, there has to be ligament damage as well. I just don't see any chance he comes back this season.

This reads like the worst case scenario.

Panthers 24 Saints 23 -DJ Moore - 100+ yards and 2TDs -Sam - 250+ yards, 2 TDS, 1 int -CMC - 100+ total yards again -Panthers D has 4 sacks and forces 2 turnovers. -Panthers bottle up the Saints passing game but Kamara goes off and almost wins it for them. -Kamara - 125 yards rushing, 50 yards receiving, 3 TDs.

I disliked Tre a lot as a player because he was not good. BUT I think it's really cool that he is a big Panthers fan now that he isn't playing.

Agree with a relatively low scoring game and Panthers covering. I'll go 17-10,Panthers win.
