McCoy: I'm always going to feel like a Buccaneer

It's almost as if Greg, Luke, Gerald, etc. know something we don't know. Or, do know.

He only came here because of Cam.lol

All this tells me is our vet players are leaving because they know this is going to be a rebuild project. It's why Luke retired, it's why Greg wanted out, it's why Gerald is leaving.

Luke retired for health reasons, and Olsen directly refuted the notion that he didn't care to be part of a rebuild.

Others? Maybe. But I also get the impression we're not exactly trying all that hard to keep them.

Make of it what you will. Not that this would prevent it, but I don't really see it as all that likely we were bringing him back anyway.

He made 15 tackles and $8m.  5 of them were sacks, because he did not give a crap about the run.

He played like a Buccaneer in 2019.

Is there a verbal rebellion going on?  It sure seems public statements are ambiguously anti-Tepper.  I recall the same kind of mutinous comments when good ole Marty was replaced by company man Gettlemen.  We should not assume that players' preferences serve the best interest of the fans---they want money and security, as we all do.

I've seen a comment or two that's raised an eyebrow and made me ask "wonder what he meant by that".

I do think it's generally acknowledged that with Richardson and Marty in charge, it was all about making the players happy. If we also happened to win, well hey that's cool too.

I could see some dislike for Tepper happening if that environment is changing.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
