Tepper’s Opinion - Pure Speculation

Recommended Posts

How do you all think Tepper feels 6 games in as an owner?  I told my brother at halftime yesterday that I though he may step in and say something to the coaches if we had lost, given his attitude and statements about winning being the primary focus.  With the win, do you think he sits back as a new owner, or do you think he is making his opinions known to the coaching staff regarding our slow starts and conservative play?

One doesn’t become a billionaire by being reactionary or emotional. He knows there’s not a lot he can do change wise in season, so I’d imagine he is going to sit back and watch Rivera , the coaching staff, and Hurney audition for their jobs week in and week out.

He’s got the Steeler mentality.  He won’t meddle, not during the season anyways.  He also won’t settle for mediocrity, and will be quicker to make a change at seasons end if he’s not happy.

with that being said, it’s probably a mixed bag for him right now.  But hell, his team is currently in playoff position heading into week 8.

Probably mixed thoughts but you gotta think he’d be happy with a 4-2 record and in the two losses having a chance to win at the end...

I agree.  But with so many close games; a few of which we could have lost, all I’m asking is do you you think a new owner would step in or wait to make moves till the offseason?

We could've started 1-4 like the Falcons and gotten blown out in all of the losses and Tep would not make any moves during the season.

    Vert few owners replace a coach midseason. Let alone one with a 4-2 record. Barring some remarkable collapse, Rivera is probably safe this year.

I would at the very least be sitting down and taking a look at what situations are working the best and making us most productive and in better position to win and contrasting that with what isn't working too well and encouraging ron and co. to focus on what we see and know actually works the best. 

It's applying good business strategy to his new acquisition. Sit down with the manager and examine what works well and doesn't and alter course to build on what works and eliminate that which doesn't.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
