Mike Florio on Tepper:

Whatever the intended approach in Carolina, Tepper didn’t get so rich by being stupid and/or non-strategic. He has a plan, and he’ll implement the plan. Chances are that the plan already was being implemented well before today’s announcement was made.

All we can do is sit back and watch the plan unfold. Unlike plenty of other owners, Tepper has confidence in his convictions and his evaluation abilities to make good decisions for his football team, without paying someone on the outside to advise him how to run his business.

As to the timing of Hurney's firing, let's look at the evidence:

1. The Panthers were just eliminated from the playoffs.

2. Once again, the QB Hurney signed to a questionable contract came up short (0-8 this year) when trailing by a single score in the fourth quarter. Once again, he looked VERY bad in the process.

3. The Panthers draft position is now Top 4, improving their chances to draft a top QB.

The very FIRST business day after this all occurred, Hurney was fired. Could be that it all came to a head through meetings yesterday/this morning.

Tepper's statement indicated Rhule and Hurney were not aligned, forcing Tepper to step in and make decisions, a place he didn't want to be. It's likely the Panthers are now targeting a QB with the 1st round pick and *may* entertain the idea of trying to move up and get the guy they really want (btw, Marty doesn't have a good track record where this is concerned).

Sounds like Marty may have wanted to ride it out with Bridgewater and not draft a QB in the 1st. That conflict may have been strong enough that Tepper decided to make the move now. From Tepper's statement, this has been an ongoing issue.

Just reading the tea leaves...

Hurney needed to go, but its going to suck not hitting on every 1st round pick. Gettleman came in and immediately busted 4 times in a row before picking McCaffrey. Hurney has only busted once since 2002 in Jeff Otah.

Say what? Star was good. KB was good pre-ACL. Shaq is decent, he was just a luxury pick and you need those guys to be great. Butler was the loan true bust and that one really stung because it was another luxury pick.

Butler looks a lot better in Buffalo now, though.

I mistakenly typed Butker when I was writing this, which brought up another bad Marty memory.

He only looks good because he no longer has the stigma of being a disappointing 1st round pick for them. He's just a mid-level FA signing for the Bills. They'd be saying he sucks if they'd picked him in the 1st.

They switched him from 3 tech to 1 tech.

Bills beat writer Joe Buscaglia actually wrote that switch has made the Bills D far more dominant.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
