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.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
