Are you ready to wait five years to be competitive?

Won't take 5 years to get a winning season.

Should happen in 2.

Both times that's happened (2001-03 and 2011-2013), we've had a corps of players ready. What do we have right now? We don't have a quarterback, we don't have an offensive line, we don't have a defensive line, we don't have a linebacking corps, we don't have a secondary.


We have nothing except DJ Moore and McCaffrey.

Competitive? We've never had back to back winning seasons, 15-1 was an anomaly, and we've only had one great QB in franchise history. I've been waiting for us to be competitive since day one, lol.

We had four playoff appearances in 5 years from 2013 to 2017.

That's pretty dang competitive to me.

Tepper said this in December. It's happening. 2-14 might be our ceiling next year.

Hope for the best, but be prepared for some of the worst Panthers football you might ever see.

Basically Tepper is doing what Gman tried to do a few years ago but got fired for. Say what you will about Gman but he saw the writing on the wall and tried to stay ahead of the inevitable. BTW I think Hurney sucks.

Color me unimpressed with Tepper so far.  I may change my mind in a year or two but this could be a spectacular failure all the same.  He’s a risk taker so let’s hope it works. 

He is giving people what they wanted or at least what we should want. To be fair, we never should have extended TD or Greg Olsen when Gettleman left. We did. It didn't work and set us back. We have been an average to below average team with our aging vets and coaching staff. Tepper changed that up after not rushing to anything to gauge the team. He got us a practice bubble which Jerry never did and preferred a freaking ball room. He is trying to get the best practice facility and the best medical staff. 

What are you unimpressed with exactly? The fact that we didn't want to pay Olsen $7m+. Is he to blame for Luke retiring? Would you prefer he keep Rivera for the off chance that we can treadmill one more year and hope that because Rivera is here, Luke would stay? 

I see his moves as smart business decisions and finally rocking the boat to a historically middle of the road franchise.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
