I'm happy to hear he acknowledged the issues on the field and wasn't blind to how the defense progressed...or I should say regressed.  

As he said, this was his Rookie year, the people ready to crucify him are absurd.  Really excited to see what the next few years bring.

Hm

Emphasized good oline gives you great chance to win and we have to make it better.

Dont like him only saying positive things about rivera/hurney.

He seems very thoughtful but im not sure what exactly to glean from that.  It will be impressive if he actually manages to fix the oline and fix this discipline/time management issues he said he cares so much about. Because these have been systemic problems for the panthers for several years under Rivera.

  • Tepper has not had  8 years of watching a hypnotized RR on the sideline not calling a timeout  during the 2 minute drill until 10 seconds after the play ends, using a challenge flag after the coin toss, or watching the team blow leads because he can't make adjustments.

i loved it.  i appreciate the heck out of him finally doing a sit down, and while he did say ron was a good coach he was explicit about not wasting time or timeouts.  not 5 seconds, not 10 seconds.   that was actually a tongue whipping in the way successful people do it.   i'm feeling a lot better about him now.   thanks mr tepper.  no more bad jokes.

Seems like a very smart man obviously. Says he learned a lot and this is the first season he can really make an imprint... I'm curious what could he have learned about his "child" that would compel him to continue allowing Hurney and Ron Rivera to push its stroller? Must not value the life of this child very highly to send it to its inevitable doom.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
