A suggestion to David Tepper: Please stop doing press conferences and issue written statements instead.

I mean, I don't know what you expected. He answered everything that was pertinent to us moving forward.

Everyone knows Rhule sucked. Tepper told you that Rhule was not getting it done. We weren't winning. 

Tepper told you that it's too early to formulate a definitive plan as far as an HC moving forward. He wants to see how the remainder of this season goes. 

He also basically told you that he feels that we have enough to win some games

He told you that better decisions must be made with the allocation of resources. 

He also told you that he's still learning.

He told you that he he didn't want to be knee-jerk about Rhule's firing, and that he wanted to give Rhule a fair shot by letting things play out in order to see some progress. He also told you that after Sunday, he had seen enough. 

Sure, his attitude was a little defensive, but you could still see some humility. The guy is about moving forward, as he should be. If you wanted him to waddle in humiliation and obvious past failure (however recent), you're barking up the wrong tree.

And all of that could have been accomplished in a written statement. If it was so obvious that Rhule needed to be fired did he need to get up in front of the media and patronize us with his poor attitude about it?

I don’t know his background but I think his corporate background was just hosting dinner parties, hanging out at golf courses, and informal settings trying to convince other millionaire and billionaires to contribute to his hedge fund. You can tell Tepper is not a corporate talking robot. Good and bad advantages to this. 

Teppers been interviewed countless times on all money related talk shows. He comes off as very knowledgeable and well respected by money managers. He is very confident and matter of fact attitude exudes that of a man that knows what the hell hes talking about. With football? He has work to do.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      By hepcat · Posted

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
