What is Tepper seeing that nobody else here sees?

I’m going on the assumption that Dave has no plans of firing Matt this year. His comments about it could take five years makes me think this.

So as he has watched us go from 3-0 to 5-8, has watched Sam Darnold be everything he was in NY, has watched an o-line more resemble a pee-wee team than professionals and has watched a defense with some players seeming to quit…

What is he seeing that nobody else here sees? What is it that would make him think another year would be any different?

I'm not convinced that this assumption is correct.

I think Tepper's statement about taking five years shouldn't be taken that he thinks a coach will get a blank check for 5 years.  I think that the next few games are critical.  Can Rhule find a way to get this team to put up a good fight and maybe steal a couple games in the hardest part of its schedule (lol no)?  If so, then that could bolster him getting a 3rd season.

It isn't just having a losing record, or starting 3-0 and falling so far.  It is the way in which the team is losing that I think means it is unlikely he gets another year.

It might be what he's NOT seeing. Everyone else is seeing that he's made a colossal mistake.

Dave Tepper's not talking AFAIK.

Dave could've come out already and given his public vote of confidence for Matt.  That hasn't happened.

We may find out what Tepper is thinking after week 16 concludes.  That'll be when the window of opportunity for interviewing coaching candidates opens.

Doesn't make much sense for the Panthers to say anything before that time.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Rhule is simply not demonstrating he has a grasp on game day management.  Week after week the Panthers are being taken advantage of by opponents that seem better prepared and more familiar with the Panthers tendencies than the Panthers themselves.

Oh I know I can tell since he took over team. All he ever wanted was a soccer team, tell me different.

Ok, I will.

Tepper flew to Rhule's house and helped carry in the guy's luggage, then agreed to meet all of Rhule's demands and finally offered the biggest contract ever for a first time NFL coach.  That's the guy who doesn't care?

Whatever dude. 

How can you possibly expect to be taken seriously making such unfounded comments?

Tepper wants football and soccer for the same singular reason… legalized gambling.  Which is coming sooner rather than later.  That’s what’s he’s hedged his bet.

What I've got shows Dave Tepper was highly motivated to beat out other teams to secure the coach he wanted for his franchise.

What you have are claims without evidence.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
