Hard to believe that Tepper did not get his fill of being embarrassed long before now. He has turned this team into a joke and it will be tough to recover from this.

A little part of me enjoys watching him fail. The last thing the Carolinas needed was some arrogant douche from Pittsburgh buying the Panthers but here we are. Charlotte FC is probably going to be an even bigger joke and I’m not even being hyperbolic

I think as the offseason goes on, it's only going to become clearer that Rhule should have been let go.

Bit late for that now, though.

Tepper repeating his mistake of keeping Rivera a year too long all over again.

And Hurney...

Speaking of which, some guy on Twitter told Josh Klein that there was a stipulation in the team's sale contract that Marty had to be kept for two years.

Don't know if Twitter guy is in a position to know such things (kinda doubt it) but it's an interesting thought.

Hurney was the bigger mistake IMO.

No disagreement there - they both should have been gone after 2018. The whole sequence of events from end of 2018 to now is just head-scratcher after head-shaker.

Would somewhat explain why he kept him around. I’m not sure why Tepper would’ve agreed to that and it could hurt the Panthers in the long run.

I think that was reported/speculated when the head scratching was going on about why Hurney was still around.  I doubt we'll ever know.  That sort of stipulation is probably not as unusual as people would think.

The question I have if it is true is why fire Rivera before Hurney, even if Rivera did not have such a stipulation?  Tepper did recognize that the organization was a mess, and if you were saddled with the GM for two years and have questions about whether he was part of the reason for the mess or just a victim of it, why let him have a say in who the coach is until you figure that out?

The reason for publication was to let Rivera get a leg up on searching for another HC job, but I'd probably have held onto him for another year and unload them both, assuming Rivera was not going to pull a rabbit out of his hat.  

Both had to go, and until the triggers on both barrels could pulled, I miss the point of pulling one and letting the other poison the new coach.

Then again, I don't own an NFL team so I guess the question is moot.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
