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

Then Tepper better get used to being a loser, at least for the next few years, and for few other reasons beyond his own short-sightedness/lack of self-evaluation.

If al he cares about is money then this is a moot point anyway. Given how vocal he was at the outset of his ownership he sure seems interested in being a winner as well. What's gone down so far sure ain't it and he unfortunately chose not to remedy a major immediate issue this offseason.

Navarro should have been awarded the bid.

That is all.

My worry with Navarro was that as a favorite of the Richardson family, he might be inclined to continue doing things as Richardson had, like keeping Marty Hurney as GM.

 

 

 

Yeah 😕

Well that happened with Tepper

Hurney is the ultimate Dwight Schrute of the NFL, except he didn't become likeable over time.

Pretty much.

I had hoped that Tepper would be smart enough to know he needed to move on and get a real GM.

Instead, he wound up calling Marty one of the best evaluators of college talent in football.

There was no prediction...

You predicted I wouldn't get my way.

Given that you're pretty much always wrong, I find that encouraging 😁

That wasn’t a prediction, merely a statement of fact.

Ok Carnac…

…how many games do you predict the Panthers will win in the coming season?

Your "statements of fact" are always wrong too 😆

As to the season record, that's a question for after the draft and free agency.

But with Matt Rhule still in charge, five is probably a good bet.

Years leading to Mitch era he was the clear worst owner in ALL of sports kupchak saved Jordan, mj should build a 80 feet statue of Mitch as a thank you. Lucky about ball too, but Mitch has done the impossible and gets no love...

His biggest mistake was choosing this franchise to purchase

Just the opposite, actually.

Had the franchise been purchased by a competent owner, we could be in good shape by now.

The Panthers didn't make Tepper worse. Tepper made the Panthers worse.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
