Yes Tepper is still the owner, and that isn't ideal, but the fact that Rhule was still HC and doing so poorly left the possibility that he would STILL be around long enough to fug things up for next season. 

Now that he's gone, we don't have to worry about him being around to ruin things for the future. We can reset with a new HC and a high draft pick and look forward to the 2023 season. The draft will be exciting again and we have a shot at a top tier QB prospect. 

There are plenty of qualified HC candidates out there currently, the possibility of us choosing someone this bad again isn't likely since Rhule was historically terrible and we can really only go up from here. 

It's a brand new day in Pantherland.

No because I felt the same when Ron was canned and the man who hired Rhule is still in charge.

It's interesting to give an interim head coach this many games. Usually they're stuck with a few garbage games at the end of the year. Not that I expect anything to happen, but it's got to be a positive for Wilks

It's also pretty unique because Tabor (ST), Wilks (HC) and McAdoo (OC) are all brand new.  This is not like a typical interim that knows the system, well because we really don't have one haha

It’s a wonderful sense of immediately relief.  The boogeyman is finally out of the building.  Unfortunately, all of his minions remain and there’s no inkling of what what the hell Tep does next, so it’s only a flighting sense of peace.  

 

Just gonna ride the rest of the season and hope we don’t botch this next hire

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
