People have to earn my trust, I rarely give it out.

Tepper not only failed to earn my trust, he likely made it impossible to ever earn my trust.

He has not made a single good decision since he became the owner of the Panthers.

 

Please don't say "got rid of the shield", that is complete BS that only weirdo fans would appreciate.

I agree with all of this. He’s the worst owner in the league by a wide margin.

It is ok to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. If he keeps Rhule he hasn’t learned a thing so I would no longer trust him with any football and coaching decisions. 

I disagree so much with this mantra.

You can make mistakes, no doubt....but to be fooled, that's differnet.

He was bamboozled by one of the worst GM's of the last 3 decades, and a college coach from a non powerhouse.

That's not just making mistakes, that's all but intentionally sinking your business.  If this were an actual business, the stock price would be tumbling.

Does it really matter? It's not like he can be fired from ownership of the team. Heck, Washington's owner is accused of doing much, much more than Richardson did and no one is moving to remove him and force a sale.

If anything, it makes the Richardson sale of the Panthers look a bit contrived, a way for Richardson to sell out without making a mess out of minority partners or perhaps a suit from his heirs to rest control of the team.

In the end, I don't think Tepper has made many right decisions here. He seems more interested in investing money into the team, the amenities, the surrounding areas to those amenities and a frikkin' soccer team. What he isn't investing, it appears, is much time or intellect into understanding the fan base or professional football. In short, he's a modern billionaire... he knows how to reap profits, but doesn't really care about planting the seeds for tomorrow's harvest.

Yes but people aren’t gonna be happy till we start winning.

Dave let’s football people be football people and he made a mistake but alas it can be fixed. 

We aren’t 20 years into this thing it’s only year 4 and his first coach hiring too. 
 

poo away but the dude wants to win but he’s also not as hands on as you think.

There's a learning curve, I'm sure, but he's got a ways to go to get over it.

Long term I think he'll be fine, but right now he's got Rhule in his ear after having Hurney in his ear. These are not good voices to be listening to.

Step back and see it for what it really is .... A losing team that is going to take way too long to get to an assumed result.

Fire this guy and don't listen to anyone who says they have a long range plan to get the team on top. They get you your ring in 4 years max or they aren't ever going to do it. They have you winning in 2 or your team is going to continue in mediocrity.

Hindsight is 20/20 but imagine having Jones or Fields right now and no money/draft capital tied up in Darnold lol. We would have millions and more picks to address the oline and rest of the team. Now we’re going to be paying Darnold and Bridgewater and still be without a viable starter at QB. fuging yikes. By the time Rhule fixes the oline, our young starts will likely be past their prime and unaffordable. This team is fuged.

Let's review David Tepper's miscues on the football side of things to date:

- kept Marty Hurney in place
- let Marty have a hand in picking the head coach
- hired Matt Rhule
- gave Rhule a big contract and full power
- has tried to move away from the "keep pounding" mantra

And as if those weren't bad enough, Tepper is currently expected to keep Rhule around for another year despite his being an utter disaster of a head coach.

Oy 😖

So in the light of all this ineptitude, I'm curious. After seeing him make dumb decision after dumb decision regarding the direction of the franchise, how many people still have faith in David Tepper as the Panthers owner?

Is your answer dependent on whether or not he keeps Matt Rhule?

The first day he walked into his owner’s office and chose to retain not only Marty Hurney but also “Mo”Ron Rivera, he lost any trust I might have for him.

 Every move he’s made since has only confirmed my initial reaction.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
