Doubt it, Tepper is too busy trying to turn our team into an amusement park, all these renovations and upgrades not gonna mean squat if we cant get people in to watch the games. People go to see a winning team.

Tell that to Browns fans who have sold out their stadium for years

I remember hearing a story about Tepper throwing a breast implant at one of his employees while going nuclear. Like most self-made men he has a low tolerance for failure. 

Hard to build our brand when we're getting our poo pushed in like that.

Lmaooooo

It's hard for me to imagine Tepper going crazy. He seems even tempered and more intellectual than emotional, but what fan would know much of anything about his personality anyway. I can't think of any person who enjoys being embarrassed. 

When I think of anger and how its handled, I think about TWD and how the Governor and Negan would react differently when irate.

The Governor in the comics was one of the most terrifying characters ever created. A true psychopath, but kind of a beta guy who needed to overreact to get his point across. Negan was more of an alpha guy who just wanted a harem of woman and didn't want to farm and live a boring life. He was measured in the violence he doled out. If Tepper lost it then it would look more like a beta nerd losing it, so a lot of exaggerating screaming and gesturing with Ron just staring blankly and secretly thinking if it becomes physical he could snap little Tepper in half.

I don't know if he confronted Ron, but I can tell you this from someone close to him:

--before he bought the team, he met with the league and asked about the extent to which the club complained directly to the office about the hits Cam took in the Denver opener.  The response he got was along the lines of "they sent in film and that's pretty much it" and he was apoplectic, although he was persuaded by the club that Richardson kept the lid on it but felt like Rivera should still have taken a stand for his guy by meeting with Goodell

--he does not like being personally embarrassed.  The Steelers game last year was extremely important to him because of his former involvement and he felt Ron and the team failed to understand that because they were so flat by their own admission, and he took that very personally

--the Niners game was along the same lines, not quite as big a deal but a showcase game and the same crap.

--Cam in the scarf sealed his fate

Save for a miracle finish, there's pretty much no chance Rivera is here next season and forget Cam.  Don't know about Hurney.  Dave is very results oriented (surprise).  You can have green hair and wear a scarf if you're winning, don't do that shyte if you lose and your team is beat all to hell.

Not sure if true but funny none the less.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
