Are there any examples of owners who had a terrible start and then were able to turn things around...meaning make smart football decisions? You know what I mean here

Pegula in Buffalo 

Benson in NO

Haslam sorta changing tune in Cleveland.

Benson bought the team in 1985 and the Saints sucked until Payton outside of a few Dome Patrol years.

If it takes Tepper 21 years to find a good HC then just fug my poo up.

I made a thread on it a while ago but there is a learning curve. Not all is lost.

You will probably see it with the Broncos in a few years because to in some ways even with their loaded roster

Jerry Jones is the exception because if he were In the salary cap era they would have struggled just like the Panthers.

Then here’s hoping Tepper catches on sooner rather than later.

Im just disproving the sentiment around here that once things are bad they are always bad.

I agree with you, but if it takes a long time I hope Tepper takes a "throw poo at the wall and see what sticks" approach rather than "stick by regimes that are clearly flatlining" approach.

Unfortunately to me, it looks like he's taking the latter.

Pegula hired Rex Ryans as his first HC. He was smart enough to fire him after two .500 seasons though, and hired McDermott from us soon after. I'm sure fans up in Buffalo were screaming that Ryan didn't have enough time to get things together like we have with Rhule on the Huddle.

Yeah if Rhule gets to do it with QB's and his OC, why doesn't Tepper do it with the HC? It's the only area where he can use the power of being super rich since the players have a cap limit. Either way might as well wait til next year to find a new HC and hope Rhule doesn't trade away the entire 2023 draft for Jimmy G

He's using his money to buy soccer teams that nobody in the CLT area will care about.

Very seldom does it happen. Tepper would be in great position if he would just sit back, shut up, and sign checks. Coincide that with kicking Rhule to the curb he would be making a instant turn around. He's got a great front office with Fitterer and Morgan, just fall back and let them do their jobs.

      Give Legette another season?

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
