Saw this mentioned several times in the thread asking how long you could handle losing so I thought I'd go ahead and pose the question.

Is there anybody left who would be okay going into next year with no changes to the coaching and front office? Basically, continuing with Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney still running the show together.

If yes, make your argument as to why.

If no, ditto.

Yes there is, his name is David Tepper.

If Tepper decides to move forward with both Hurndog & 'Boat (and I think he will) I'm going to trust him and support his decision.

Tepper is brilliant and we're still in the top of the 1st inning, we all need to give him time to get it done --- and he will get it done.

NOTE:  We really don't know what Hurndog & 'Boat would have been able to accomplish if The Big Cat had left them alone and let them do their jobs.  Both deserve the benefit of the doubt and that's exactly what Tepper is giving them.

Ouch.

To be fair though, we don't know that yet.

We dont know for sure but I feel like he is going to.

1. His comments on being bad to get good.

2. Drafting Grier without any intention of him seeing the field this season.

3 . Same song and dance from last offseason.

Get what done, turn our team into an amusement park? He has not done anything at all to improve the quality of football that is played on the field, but all the while talking about a new stadium.

I really feel in Tepper's eyes Money > Winning Games

To anyone taking up this challenge, I do have one request.

Please at least try to come up with a more compelling argument than "well, we could do worse". I honestly can't think of a single less inspiring motivational speech than that.

Given the circumstances, if you can't come up with anything better I understand, but at least make the effort.

I’m actually okay with Hurney. He’s improved from his first time around and usually nails the first round. 
 

Ron just constantly has the same issues. Cam with a new HC would be worth seeing.

Hurney brings in familiar names but it has yet to translate into a winning season. He needs to go back to radio.

No. Hurney is a sub-.500 GM over the course of 10+ NFL seasons. That's all the evidence needed to show he's a subpar GM.

Ron has only won 55% of his games and that's even with the benefit of a 15-1 season. He's exactly what Tepper claims to despise - mediocre.

The wording of that last sentence makes me sense some doubt on your part.

You’re talking about a guy who paid $43 mill for the house of an old boss (who passed him over for promotion), just to tear it down and build something 2x bigger on the same lot. All accounts say he did it to show his old boss who the real winner was.

He’s got 12 Billion. What He doesn’t have Is a ring.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
