The Carolina Panthers are owned by a Dan Snyder clone

He's not Snyder level yet but very few in this thread willing to defend him. He has been wrong on every decision, and is trying to stiff a bunch businesses over the practice facility fiasco. Hope they stick it to him and he is forced to sell.  Seems like a Snyder in training right now and sexual harassment claims would not surprise me.

Behind Closed Doors:  A Fly on the Wall Perspective of NFL Owner Daniel Snyder at Work

 

 

Somebody placed a hidden camera in the Foreskins' headquarters?

Funny, I watched that movie again for the first time in ages on Sunday.  I am still laughing about parts of it three days later.

Snyder? No. Jerry Jones lite possibly.

I don't see it. He may be too involved, but he's never gone out of his way to be in front of cameras, interviewed, nor has he pretended to be the GM in the draft room.

I don't even really see any credible evidence that he's "too involved", in fact I see reports and actions to the contrary. Sure, he was highly involved with the Rhule hire, but what owner isn't involved in that level of hire? I would presume that he was highly involved with the GM's hire as well.  But it appears that he lets the football guys have the final word on football issues.

Involved with the coaching search is scary enough for me. It's going to take a lot to make up for his trust in Hurney and his lust for Watson.  Not to mention the RH fiasco.

For me, the jury is still out on Tepper's ownership. Yes, he believed in Rhule and showed his support of Rhule with money and control. Being wrong, maybe, doesn't make him a bad owner, nor does not firing Rhule when there's a lot of financial commitment remaining in his contract. 

I don't know all of the in's and out's of the Rockhill situation. But like I said,  for me,  it's still up in the air. 

This.

the GM literally said yesterday that Tepper would be involved in who they actually decide to start at QB.

Fair! Though I will say that he was still just dipping his toe in the water with Hurney. He was going through the motions of an inevitable conclusion. I'm not going to ding him for not having enough experience or being cerebral before reacting.

He also literally said in that same exact answer, that Rhule has final say.  Which is exactly what was literally said in the post you quoted that you're trying to refute. Lol.

Snyder is a straight up sleezeball and crook. He's also low-key meddlesome (or at least has been). 

You could switch "Snyder" with "Tepper," and this still makes perfect sense. Tepper has absolutely been prone to knee-jerk decisions. All things considered with injuries, Tepper has had a different starting QB take most of the snaps every year he's owned the team.

2018: Cam Newton
2019: Kyle Allen
2020: Teddy Bridgewater
2021: Sam Darnold
2022: Baker Mayfield

If anything, he's trained what's left of the fanbase to know not to buy a Mayfield jersey now, to wait until December, when they're $29.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods, and to apply the same approach to Carson Wentz's jersey next year.

I don't think Tepper's deference to Rhule is the plus that you're implying it is. If anything, it underscores his ineptitude even more.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
