David tepper speaks.

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.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
