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.

    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
