Tepper Press Conference: Tuesday at 11:00am


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Questions for Dave-

Did you know the Panthers have never won a Super Bowl?

Do you know who the Panthers single season sack leader is?

Do you know who single handily jump started the run of 4 playoff appearances in 5 years in 2013?

Do you know the Panthers do NOT have anything remotely close to an all around DE near his prime?

Do you know that this deficiency may very well stand in the way of your primary and secondary objective to WIN (the Super Bowl)?

Do you know one of the best DE’s on planet earth is loved and adored by our GM, coaching staff, and players, is not yet 30 years old but has the tread of a player not yet 25 years old, and could be had for the league minimum salary?

Do you know that said player has excelled as a human being, athlete, and teammate, in multiple sports, in the calendar year 2018?

Do you REALLY want to win Dave?  Is it REALLY your primary objective?

Yeah, nobody's asking about Hardy.  And even if they did, Tepper isn't gonna be interested given his background of seeing domestic abuse.

Hardy is never gonna be a Panther again.

Follow up questions for Dave-

Are you aware that Greg Hardy played for the Carolina Panthers in front of a supportive, adoring, and raucous Bank of America Stadium crowd on national TV in August 2014 as he abused former #1 overall pick Eric Fisher?

Are you aware that Greg Hardy played in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2014, earning a sack in a huge divisional road win with a backup QB, ultimately the difference in winning the division?

What is your knowledge of Ray Rice, Rebecca Thorne-Tin, and Nicole Holder?...and Jerry Richardson?

Did it bother you that the QB of your former team, the FACE of your former franchise, was alleged to have committed multiple heinous acts, including but not limited to sexual assault?

I don't think he will either but Tepper bought into a team whose face of the franchise is a serial rapist...

He bought his Steelers stake while that story was still in it's infancy, but to be real here Tepper was buying into his childhood favorite team. Roethlisberger just happened to be the QB at the time. No way to know how he felt.

Mind you, we do know how he feels about Mike Tomlin.

And there's no way to know how he feels about a guy like Hardy or any other players with question marks. He may look at each case individually and may even determine winning is more important to him than fielding a team of choirboys... or he could be more like JR and won't knowingly bring on a single guy with off field issues. No way to know... except that he determined buying into the Steelers was more important than the principle of having squeaky clean players on the team...

Pretty sure it was Gantt who said based on what he knows, he doesn't expect Tepper to handle character risks any differently than the Panthers do now. We'll see.

That said, even if he does loosen the reins on that front, I see zero chance of Greg Hardy ever wearing an official Panther uniform again.

Sure, let’s loosen the reins for real criminals that truly poison locker rooms while a real difference maker with the greatest bang for the buck in league history, who the Panthers love, WHOSE CHARGE WAS EXPUNGED, continues to pay for the sins of Ray Rice and the other 31 at the expense of the Carolina Panthers.

Even if Tepper were interested, Hardy's moved on. He's got a professional contract in another sport. One where he gets to beat up people who aren't women.

Not true.  Listen at the :55 second mark

    • First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps. 
    • It's not the only issue. She said it was the "biggest" issue. lol 
    • The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
