Anyone else relieved that Tepper has finally taken over?

Its been difficult for me to get too excited this offseason with the org in limbo.

Now that the new owner is in place and leadership is there at the top, I feel relieved. Just in time for training camp. We are lucky this thing did not drag on for months, it very well could have.

 

Lets get it.

Do you think Hurndog is excited?

I guess I am relieved. I'm sure he'll have an impact on the team, but honestly, for this year there wasn't going to be a whole lot of impact on the team performance.

I think just his presence lights a fire under all coaches and staff to perform this year because they may not be back next season if they don't.

Disagree, big time.

 

Everyone is on the hot seat.

I guess I’m not a big believer on the hot seat making people better. I think they’ll play like they want to win if they want to win. If Rivera changes his coaching style then he’s not a good coach to start. It’s like that stupid notion of contract years. Never made a difference when I played fantasy. Some people believed in that, I just won a lot.

Maybe Cam will be looser but it always seemed to me that he was already who he was. Doing more on instagram isn’t going to make him better. Norv being there may, but not Jerry being gone. If he has an MVP year, do you think it’s more because of Jerry leaving or because he got WRs and Norv?

If you are superstitious then Jerry leaving on a sour note and the Panthers finally winning a Super Bowl without him would be a fitting end. That said, I’d think it was more with young guys stepping up and an OC who doesn’t suck. 

The hot seat doesn't necessarily make people better but it usually does make them more aggressive. It just so happens that Ron seems to be a better coach when he's being aggressive. It's aggressive Marty Hurney that scares the poo out of me.

@Jeremy Igo I felt very much like you do, in limbo. I had little enthusiasm. Things will change even on the field. It can't be avoided. But now I'm sparked, excited. Because I want to see Dave Tepper smash the idea that teams with a new owner are not winning teams in the owner's 1st year. Because now I can pull for the entire Panther family and feel positive about it.

Yes, I think it bodes very well not only for this season but for the Panthers chances going forward. Richardson, although seemingly revered by the players and other owners, was very old and a closeted creepazoid. Tepper brings a fresh and brash businesslike approach, ala Dave Gettleman. I would have been curious if they would have worked well together. But overall I think the Panthers ended up with a good owner and I'm glad the Richardson scandal is finally over.

      Big changes coming

      By strato · Posted

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      Correction, meant to say Seattle had a limited passing attack in the SB.  Darnold did do enough to win.
