What has Tepper done to make you think he is not a complete idiot? Run a hedge fund is about it on my list.

Put it on Young's back when that poor thing can barely hold up his pads and uniform? Sure, why not lol

That's about all that would make me want to even acknowledge the NFL after they move the team.

It just sounded like they wanted him to do what Frank would and he balked. Ben just walked away and said no to everyone. And Frank is absolutely looking like a bigger part of the Indy mess then his fans would admit. They blamed everyone else yet here he is in peak form doing so much worse.

After talking to us. Add to the things they were saing about Steichen and it raises further questions about what they were saying in the hiring process.

For fun, show what we got in return next to that and then tell me Fritterer was ever qualified for the job...

That was my thought also

Tepper can't make deals work in the backwoods of SC. No way he could pull of a move to London. That's Jags territory anyways.

The entire point guard thing was a huge red flag. Im still not sure that they know that's a different sport's position.

That would pretty much be the only thing left with the tickets that are not selling...

Delude ourselves about a QB? No way!

They would be a lot more competitive with Dalton but Im not sure they could win those 3 regardless or the next 2 games either way. 2-2 sounds more reasonable. This team isn't built to win. It's built poorly.

It's a Frank thing he does. It was known when they hired him. Next he fires Brown after blaming him while continuing to call plays. Sorry but I expect that to continue until he is fired, even if it's next year.

Pushing Nicole into the process this year. Ignoring past failures and mistakes. Whatever the fug they were doing during coach interviews that turned any good candidates away and left us with Frank the savior. Whatever the fug they were looking at when scouting QBs with the pack of losers they hired. It's bad and it doesn't look like anything but this is the new normal for the Panthers. Rhule was just the new standard and the guy who is NFL quality is now even worse. The GM makes Hurney look responsible and semicompetent. I really dislike Tepper and I am at the point of almost pulling agaisnt the team just to watch him fail more since that would be thr only joy left for the Panthers to give. That is a feeling I have been fighting all year.

With the way they were talking before the season, I still think they think it's all salvageable. They can't trade Burns and still be in serious comeback mode. The talk about Tepper being pissed and the team still being all in on Young backs that. Trading Burns at this point makes the most sense due to it being past the point of no return without the franchise tag which I'm sure Burns will love. Until I hear Burns is on the table or they are switching to rebuild mode they are still in the same Hurney special 'one move away and make magic' mode.

I wonder how the correlates with how deep the passes were thrown

I completely respect that. Good for him. I like the balance the draft order brings to the league but some teams need the pressure of talent walking away from them to open their eyes of how poorly they are run. The Bears could have the top 2 picks in the draft but that isn't somewhere a QB is likely to have success regardless of tallent. The list looks mighty small for sure but that's his challenge. I'm kind of interested to see how that plays out. I have no problem with a prospect acting like a professional and caring about their careers. I wouldn't want to waste 4 to 5 years of my career working a dead end job regardless of pay if I could avoid it. Make teams earn some of it too because some of them need a slap for how they run their teams.

Nicole stuff I get putting her in the charity roll. That is more usual. 'Why is there such a stark difference between the in-depth dive of Frank Reich compared to the knee-jerk hiring of Matt Rhule? Many attributed the decision to Tepper's growth as an owner, noting he had learned from his previous mistakes. However, few have pointed out that Mrs. Tepper was a big part of this search. Buck Fitty (General Manager Scott Fitter) even credited Mrs. Tepper for her role in the coaching search. What struck me most about the comment is how it didn’t sound forced. It was authentic. He didn’t seem to be just sucking up to the owners, but he appeared to mean it. Was Mrs. Tepper the difference in the hiring process that the Panthers needed? At the very least, her insight lent to assembling the most accomplished coaching staff in team history. ' HAHAHAHAHAHA

The first stupid one?

If Ron is your coach you need a large life insurance policy

There are 2 owners now and plenty to go around.

Ohh if Tepper was a woman and she was a man it would be worse because I wouldn't feel like I have to hold back. Part of me applauds her. Get your money and choose your work. But not when she is doing Panthers stuff.

There are lines I won't cross and I am always a little crude. This is harsh but my beef is she has zero background in anything, literally popped out of the air on Teppers arm and is in the room while they are making terrible mistakes accross the board. This was her first year being 'the Teppers' right? It is ugly but it also looks true. I 100% can respect not joining in or wanting to go down that road but it's a huge issue. Gayle Binson had a design business. Kim Pegula was a professional since 1991. It's odd and with her in a position of power in the organization it's an open target. Like I said, there are places I won't go but everything I said was true. If I didn't have to imagine where she came from then I wouldn't have. None of it was good so trust me when I say I left a lot out plenty. Bad taste? Yes and a little lashing out but also not untrue unless they roll out a big reveal and makeover for here and like I said that is something they should have done upfront before she is ownering.

They had a playoff team before and after Lance, had playable QBs the entire time and lucked into Purdy. CMC is just a cheap cherry on top for them. They get to laugh about blowing a wad on a bust while feeling no real pain for it and they will be in the playoffs again this year.
