Tepper needs to take some responsibility.

His fingerprints have been all over the things that haven’t worked this season.

The switch to 3-4. Ron calling plays. The analytics bungles.

Is Tepper going to own up?

Ron should have had some conviction and stuck to his way of operating. That way, if he failed, he failed doing what he does. Tepper’s influence in the day to day operations of the team has been a net negative. Convince me otherwise.

I really don’t understand why people are blaming Tepper around here. I really don’t get it.

Tepper has own this team for like one and a half seasons. I liked the fact he didn’t come in and immediately clean house. Then last season we go 6-2 until Cams arm falls off. Can’t blame Ron or Hurney for that. So they get another shot at another year with a hopefully healthy Cam again. Very fair. Especially considering how we started last season.

Now here we are again. Tepper probably cleans house now, but how on earth is this his fault. You people blaming Tepper genuinely sound like an angry mob with pitch forks ready to blame and hang anyone. 

It would have probably been unfair of Tepper to sack Ron and Hurney after Cams injury last season considering how great we looked when he was healthy.

Give the man longer than 1 and a half fugging seasons before you go running him out of town ffs

I think the hybrid 4-3 was Ron enabled by Hurney. JRs the one that gave us both Ron and Hurney so that POS can take some of the blame too.

I expect some meddling, it's his team and that's how life goes. How much and in what ways will determain how i react. I dont blame Tepper for not extending Cam and potentially crippling the team in the future any more than I blame Cam for not wanting to play for cheap next year when some team would be willing to give him an extension. It's a bad situation and we got here because of the people that are still here before anyone knew Tepper would have anything to do with the Panthers. What he does to un-fug it does matter and is in his hands. On the bright side, the business side looks world class and competent so hope is reasonable.

Like any leader with many layers of employees under his charge, Tepper chose to sit back and evaluate his resources and personnel. Absolutely nothing wrong with that and if any of you were expecting him to ride in and fire everyone in the first 6 months.... well, I'd question your leadership abilities.

Geez, Tepper is a hedge fund guy. If you don't think he knows how to evaluate risk/reward, I don't know what to tell you.

The curse of 2015.

Tepper should have looked at Ron's record the moment the team sale was finalized and drawn some conclusions.  Average coach, who can't put back to back winning seasons together.

Then looked into Marty Hurney.  Tons of history there as well, mostly losing seasons.

Then taken a look at the Hurney/Rivera marriage and seen how those seasons looked vs. them apart.

Then made changes that will now be 2 years too late.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
