David Tepper: "Sometimes you have to tear things down to build them up"

This doesn't sound good for Cam Newton.  Not sure you'd be talking in these terms with a 31 year old QB.

We know we have a shared vision. We know it’s not going to be a fast process. We are willing to build something for the long term … things could happen fast, and maybe they will because we are all so aligned. But we are in a building process here. Sometimes you have to tear things down to build them up.”

It's much easier to speak on these things than to actually go through the potentially exhausting task of implementing it.

So far all we have done is brought in a coach who says all the right things but has never won on his own at the NFL level before.

I'm done hearing talk and fluff. Let's get some results. There's nowhere to go but up after tumbling to the bottom of our division and conference. If your plan to dig our way out of that is to move on from dynamic talent, then you have to do everything within your capabilities to replace that talent.

Could be referring to the complete tear down of the coach's.

I've been saying it, it's almost a guarantee they try and trade Cam away to get anything they can towards their future rebuild. You just don't say the things they've been saying or rather they have not been saying if their intentions were to go into 2020 with Cam Newton as their starting Quarterback. All they've done is danced around the question every time it's been asked. Cam is as sure as gone.

And there's no reason we should have to wait, we aren't missing as much as people around here would have you think unless they jettison Cam and waste what's left of luke wich would be unforgivable. Not to mention this time frame would put us at paying CMC Moore and burns.

    • All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers. 
    • When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.
    • But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
