Besides hiring Rhule what has been Tepper's biggest mistake so far?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Problem with Tepper, and a lot of owners like to meddle in the affairs. It never works well. Khan in Jacksonville. Jerry in Dallas. Mike Brown in Cincinnati who finally gave us control to his daughter who actually made the player personnel guy make the football decisions, Woody Johnson with the Jets, the list goes on.

He needs to just put football guys in place and let them do the work. His early tenure has been a disaster so far from an on the field product standpoint. Everything else in my opinion has been great.

All the owners share the league's revenue so he is making money regardless. But biggest mistake besides hiring Matt Rhule was not firing Hurney with Ron Rivera.

I'd have been okay with firing Hurney and keeping Rivera.

Wasn't a fan of Rivera but I'd have given him one last shot.

Who do you recommend?

I'd go after Kevin Colbert or possibly tempt Ozzie Newsome out of retirement.  There are possibly others, but those two build physical, no nonsense teams that consistently win.

Both are getting up there, but either one could end the madness we are experiencing ATM and get the Panthers heading in the right direction.  That would make a world of difference.   Just 3-4 years should be long enough to build out a competent staff with a winning culture.

Colbert is 66 and is quitting the great Steelers organization because he's tired of working, why the heck would he consider coming here?  Insane🤦‍♂️

Ditto Newsome, what the heck could you do to convince him to come here?

Partial ownership, more money than they've ever dreamed of, and a free hand to pick their staff and build the team.

Point being, we should be looking for a thoroughbred champion, not some wet behind the ears yearling to lead this organization.

Yep, buying an NFL franchise. How's them profits looking, bro? Not only did you spend billions ... but you spent billions on a mid-market team. Oof.

It is only a matter of time before the full might of the gambling revenue hits. As a European used to soccer games bloated with live bets I'll be surprised if the value of every team will not double. It is one thing to predict this and another to see how addictive this actually is. Team values are not adjusted nearly enough yet.

Sadly this will mean lots of broken families, but that is not Teppers problem.

    • I moved to Atlanta for work, in June 1995. Almost the same for a Panthers fan.  This was pre internet at least for me, and there was no coverage unless we played the Falcons.  As a Panthers fan I hated that because I was super excited we had our own team finally and I was missing it.  I remember going to a bar and watching us beat SF maybe in our first year. But not much chance to watch games.  This prompts me to bitch that an expansion team’s first year was better than anything Tepper has been able to assemble. 
    • I get what you're trying to say, but I have seen Tetairoa open a plenty and  Hunter Renfrow open a plenty, but Bryce just misses what are supposed to be routine throws. Bryce's arm isn't Mahomes' arm, and he certainly doesn't have the plus mobility (basically the backyard-ball mentality and athleticism to run around until someone's open) and ability to make throws off platform that Mahomes' does.  We also have at least two TEs that get open on the regular, as well as two RBs that can catch and get open as well. Not to mention that Jalen Coker gets open on the regular when in. I just ain't buying that he doesn't have enough weapons. Legette gets open at times as well, not to mention Tremayne. If Bryce would just time his passes better and do it more consistently, it would open up the offense. His issues, at least in my mind, come down to one main thing: his height. He developed consistently bad mechanics over the years to overcome his inability to see the field, and while he got away with it pre-NFL, in the NFL where guys are a little bigger, a lot faster, and more experienced with decidedly more motivation to consistently do their jobs, Bryce is coming up short.
