If Tepper was losing money three years straight to start out with in the hedge fund world with the results looking progressively worse he would've been out on his ass.

You should go look at his track record, he had some years with massive losses...

...that said, if some asses aren't put on the street asap I will be very surprised.

Some years. Everyone takes some L's, but three years straight with each year looking progressively worse?

The guy has been a failure as an NFL owner so far. No other way to slice it.

If Tepper would come out and say something like, "This is a re-building process, and we are in year two of a four-year plan", I might be more patient. But he hasn't demonstrated that there is a master plan in place. Some of the early-season moves made it seem like the Panthers wanted to win now, but without an offensive line and realistically good quarterback, did any of us really think so? Taking Darnold was a gamble. Don't investment people live on gambles? It was a bad one. Bringing in Cam was desperate. Everyone knew it. Cam cannot hide the fact that the offensive line needs a lot of work. Until there's a good O-line and a solid QB, we're going to struggle.

There is absolutely no patience on this forum. What owner can buy a team with aging/little talent and immediately be super bowl contenders within two years? What coach can win without a franchise QB in his second year? 

Well he could start with getting a nfl seasoned coach, draft a QB and LT when given an opportunity  in the first two years and build on it 

I would state the instead ‘he did x, y, z ‘ but we know what he did 

there is a danger on thinking one is smarter than anyone else and that’s what happened here

How are we supposed to be rebuilding when we've traded damn near our entire draft next year?

If you don’t have a franchise QB you don’t go out and fire the one you have, replace him with a guy who has a noodle for an arm, then fire that guy and trade for a Jets reject, then sign the guy you fired again. The bungling of the QB situation has been miserable.

Year-1 doesn't count -- by the time he took ownership the die had already been cast.  

Year-2 (effectively yr-1) was covid -- kinda hard to draw conclusions or assign blame for a brand new staff/regime given the circumstances.

Year-3 = Year-1.  

You need to exercise some patience...

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Picks: Nos. 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 I'm extremely excited for the Panthers' 2026 draft. How could you not be? After two straight offseasons of aggressive defensive spending, coordinator Ejiro Evero's unit looks ready to make the leap. Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloydfill out two of the biggest gaps on the roster, though the Panthers should not be discounted from drafting a top edge rusher early. Phillips is a major injury risk and not a sack artist, so he doesn't fully solve the Panthers' 5.3% sack rate from last season (27th in the league). The Panthers might be the Akheem Mesidor(Miami) team, as they need his production immediately. The Panthers are also often tagged as the Kenyon Sadiq team, which is very possible. No one among Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Mitchell Evans has played his way into an unquestioned starting role. But the Panthers do have three tight ends on the roster, two of whom are on rookie contracts. Sadiq would fit nicely in Dave Canales' offense, which has a dynamic screen game and schemes up targets well. But I'd like to see an accompanying move to make room at the position for Sadiq's snaps to love the pick. There's much more room at wide receiver, where a second three-level option to run besides Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan could really bust open this offense. I could see an early pick spent in the secondary, which might come as a surprise to some. Slot corner Chau Smith-Wade has been fine but could be improved upon if an elite nickel option is available at No. 51 (think D'Angelo Ponds from Indiana or Keionte Scottfrom Miami). Depth behind the outside corners is also quite thin, and Mike Jackson (29 years old) is in a contract year, so a player with inside-out versatility would have even more value. Clemson's Avieon Terrell, anyone? The Panthers can also buttress the slot by drafting a safety with good man coverage traits to play opposite Tre'von Moehrig, as neither Lathan Ransom nor Nick Scott has emphatically secured that role. Treydan Stukes(Arizona) is another option who would make a lot of sense at No. 51. Bottom line: Wide receiver, pass rusher and defensive back are the big needs. Attack them aggressively -- this is the end of Bryce Young's rookie contract, so it's time to push
