Will David Tepper admit he made a mistake when he finally fires Matt Rhule?

Tepper totally gets how he is perceived.  He admits to getting on social media and twitter to read about himself and the Panthers. 

I'd normally call that a mistake.

In his case though, it's probably not a bad thing.

Disagree he doesn’t owe us an explanation. If he fired him after last season, sure. Why did he keep him another season when it’s obvious nothing is moving in the right direction

I mean....we don't own the team. He owns the team. It's his franchise to do whatever he wishes with it.

You wouldn't go to your local Amazon warehouse and demand they reorganize the shelves and apologize to you, right? 

I don't care about any apologies. I don't get to take the "I'm sorry" tokens and cash them in for NFL wins.

Everyone loves to bring down the ego of an arrogant and outspoken billionaire. It’s engrained into the DNA of the plebs. 

I'd call it more of a practical matter in this case.

I don't care if he gets daily ego massages as long as he's not screwing up the team.

But he is, so...

this. there is no benefit to anyone in him giving an explanation, much less in apologizing.

all that really matters is him firing rhule if this year isn't working out. as long as he does it i'm fine. 

this point in the year it's just about hoping for the best with what we've got. until we start losing i'm not going to dwell much on whether he should have been or should be fired. really just not much sense or sanity involved in fixating on it for the moment.

Agreed.

I suspect we see a similar track towards last year. Early success and then as attrition begins to happen the wheels quickly fall off.

If Rhule doesn't get fired after that, I don't really know that I understand what Tepper is doing at all.

i'm on the same track. i think it will be better than last year, but only marginally. that schedule after the first few weeks, though, is brutal. going to have to be more than a couple teams taking some serious steps backwards to get beat by us.

that said... i'm not going to look for, expect, or even feel i am deserving of some kind of explanation or apology if that happens and tepper does or doesn't fire rhule. i'm just along for the ride.

Yep. And under Rhule I really have no illusions about us being successful, so I am just an interested observer at this point.

I'm not going to invest too much energy into getting mad about team failures when we are set up to fail.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
