Hurney must have really wanted him to give him an unprecedented seven year 62 million dollar contract.

Poor Tepper. Marty made him fly all the way out there.

It's not like Tepper hired him over Marty's objections. And as mentioned, the flight was just a logistical thing.

Go back and read the stories about Rhule's interview. You'll see plenty of examples of David Tepper giving Marty Hurney loads of credit.

Listen, I'm not trying to absolve Hurney. What I'm getting at is I feel like people are already white washing Tepper's disastrous decision making.

Quote

Of the three Panthers representatives taking part in the conversation, Hurney was the most skeptical of Rhule and if he would be the right fit.

“You go into it and you have preconceived notions and I was probably more toward Matt Rhule in the process, the ranking, just for me. Marty had other rankings,” Tepper said. “And then I think once we saw him switch over — me and Steven were kind of on the Matt Rhule, leaning that way — once Marty, who was a little bit skeptical, went over that way, then we went into recruiting mode.”

I believe the remaining bit of players he found that are still here are the higher round successful picks so yep, his stains are pretty much gone.  And there's no drafts ahead that he really impacted, all just distant domino effects at this point.

Feels nice.  This is more of a refreshing reset forthcoming than I felt at Rivera's end.  Can't quite explain why though

Joe Brady was a scapegoat for Rhule.

We actually scored and had an offense when he was here.  He deserved a lot better.

Not really.   The offense was terrible before he left, and terrible after he left.  The Eagles, Giants, and Patriots games from last year were some of the worst offensive performances I have ever seen.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
