my take - all these bad articles are coming out at the same time - likely encouraged by Tepper's PR arm  - to give him cause for firing Rhule without looking stupid

 

"Well I didn't know it was THIS bad" says a shocked David Tepper.

From Panthers website:

Words have meaning, and even all of these are clearly setting the team up to move on from Rhule imo, at least in some ways...  If you read between the lines it was not a good conversation between them insofar as Tepper was very unhappy with the process so far.

What a complete moron and idiot thing for him to say. I’ll give him one more year under a better coaching staff but if keeps it up next season we need to move on. 

Brown has been a bust. No doubt about it. But as a paid millionaire, you NEVER go after the fans when you and the team has been poo.

...and from where Tepper sits that is a "we" problem (Tepper/Rhule/Fitterer)...not a "you" problem (Rhule).

They are partners and all are party to the situation.

At some point if visible progress isn't made Tepper will say "we are not working" and Rhule will be gone but all signs point to Tepper not being there at this time. 

I highlight the Panthers website & twitter, as well as Darin Gantt's twitter, because they've made a point of repeatedly focusing on and publicizing these 2 words preceded by David Tepper's name:

"...tremendously supportive..."

Just seems illogical that the official team media channels would repeatedly do that if Tepper was going to can the guy in 2-weeks (not to mention NFL open season on interviewing started last week).

It isn't illogical for an owner about to engage in a HC search to be very political and particular in the words he chooses.  There's still two weeks left and he's not going to fire him now.  So yeah, I would expect that he'd say things about being supportive.

not sure about this we problem stuff... We have zero evidence that Tepper is directly involved with the product on the field as you describe it. Moreover, we know that Rhule is above fitterer in the heirachy of decision making ... The buck stops with Rhule for on field product and it's garbage...

We'll see what happens...

...where do you see the odds?

Depends how the last 2 weeks go.  Two more blowouts and I think Rhule is gone. Especially with Darnold back... Two hand picked QBs, two flops ...

Re: the quote, they're talking specifically about a top of the draft selection and not roster / on field product in general.  We heard Tepper wanted Fields but Rhule preferred Darnold...

This was my thought as well, particularly with the Joe Person article. Person risked losing complete access, and I just don't think he would do that without a safety net.

Yup, then Rhule and Tepper have a noncommittal "supportive" meeting so the team ostensibly stands behind it's coach during the season, while giving it plenty of outs in the offseason...

I mean mocking people working in grocery stores who are putting themselves at risk during a deadly pandemic is a really dumb thing to say and then add on it’s a millionaire football player who sucks at his own job is a really good way to lose the fan support. 
 

im out on Brown personally, and if he plays the same way next season maybe we can get someone to take him off our hands for a 5th rounder

      Carolina Panthers pick No. 19-2026 NFL Draft

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
