Where does the "culture" go from here?

I'm going to continue to say this: but everyone is blaming the puppet (Rhule), when you should be blaming the puppeteer (Tepper).  When Rhule is gone, it won't get any better until the real clown Tepper starts caring about this team instead of his stupid soccer team and his Rock Hill facility.   Rhule was obviously a bad choice, but my god, I can't believe the absolute hatred he receives.  Most of you are probably the idiots harassing his family wherever he tries to go anywhere.

Tepper's problem isn't that he doesn't care. Hell, we might be better off if he didn't. The problem is that he DOES care but he's incompetent and clueless as to how to run a football organization.

We have as many guys from Western Michigan as we do Baylor. One of the Temple guys just signed a 3 year, $45 million dollar contract with another team. You are going to bring people in that you are familiar with and who understand your system. I think the idea that he's willing to turn down a better player at a position just so he can bring in someone from a school he once coached is silly.

Tepper deserves most of the blame but fug that used car salesman(Rhule), as well.

I would hope we can also be adults enough to also leave the man(and FOR SURE his family) alone in public. Boo Rhule at the stadium? Have at it. He's getting paid well enough to be able to take it.

Why do we think there is a poor culture? I haven't heard a lot of "anonymous sources" coming out saying bad things about Rhule. I think the problem is we have a really young team, poor quarterback play, and a below average offensive line. That's a good recipe for losing. I feel like we have an owner / front office / coach that are at least trying to address those things. I think you have poor culture when the players don't think the front office is doing everything they can to win. 

I know I'm in the minority here but I don't fully understand all of the hate for Rhule and Tepper. Two years ago everyone seemed to understand we were entering a rebuilding phase. Guys we have traded for are mainly young, high upside players. 

We played in 8 one possession games last year. We won two of those. Last year we had the fourth youngest team in the league behind the Jets, Lions, and Browns. We lost our best player (who has only played in 10 games in the past two seasons) and have had poor quarterback play (the most important position in sports). They are at least trying to fix what appears to be a large part of the problem. 

Regardless of how the Watson potential trade works out, I see an owner who seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to win. I hope we lose this Watson bidding war because I don't think we are just one player away but I also like an owner and GM who are "in on every deal" or at least exploring every deal. 

We don't have culture problem, we have a winning problem. That can be fixed with the right player(s). My $0.02

I agree with this part. Tepper is a blowhard but he’s rich with a big ego and wants to win. If he keeps swinging big like with Watson, eventually he’ll connect.

Its simple, you tank for a year then have a cleaner cap sheet, new coach and one of the top 3 quarterbacks

That's why if you take Willis or whatever now, its a wasted pick becuase the top 3 quarterbacks next year are way, way, better and a much higher chance to succeed that anything you take this draft

      I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By TD alt · Posted

      For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
