What are some positives to come out of the Tepper era?

No more Rivera and Hurney, so that’s a positive. Even if the HC hasn’t been an upgrade, at least it’s not the same ol bs. Rhule will improve or be gone sooner rather than later. Tepper doesn’t seem like the type to wait seven years too late to make a move like the case with Rivera. 

Rivera went 15-1 and went to the playoffs 3 times. Stupid take considering what we have been since he left.

Tepper is the one that gave Rhule a 7 year contract. If it was a reasonable contract he'd probably be gone already, and wouldn't have had full control of the roster/Coordinators in the first place

Cam on offense and some top flight talent on D largely floated Ron and crew. Now with that said, I'm not gonna trash Ron too hard considering he's 100x the coach that Matt Rhule is.

We didn’t wait 7 years too late to fire Ron. Ron had a decent run.   Then it came to a close.  Like Foxy.

Playoffs 4 times in a 5 year window and won the NFCS 3 straight years. 

it took a minute for them to hit their run but his teams weren’t like Rhule’s early on.  Ron’s teams generally got better as the season went on. 

Ron was solid. Just wasn’t a homerun.

Any coach should and I assume almost all do have coordinator control.

 

Maybe but the Jets had a list of experienced coordinators for Rhule to pick from and that's why that job fell through. He proceeded to fill our staff with a bunch of Baylor guys and Joe Brady, and now we're stuck in this shitty position. 2 years wasted on paying this guy top 10 coaching money to learn on the job

You do realize Coke Consolidated, headquartered in SouthPark…is the largest bottler of Coke in the country and employees 15k people?  There is a production facility in NC so pretty much any Coke you buy in NC is made in NC. 

Coke was created and is still has its headquarters in Atlanta. Stick with the rivalry!

Pepsi has long been owned and has its headquarters in NY. So, screw both of them. 😉

Pepsi was started in New Bern, NC by a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham 👍

Yes I know.   Just stating that the Coke we drink in NC is made 6 miles north of the stadium with a HQ 6 miles south of the stadium.

Coke in Atlanta is basically a separate marketing arm of the company.  Coca-Cola Consolidated (the Charlotte HQ company and publicly traded on NASDAQ) is the Carolina Panthers sponsor, not Coke Atlanta.

Most people have no clue Coca-Cola Consolidated HQ is in Charlotte.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
