We might be dealing with a more lucid version of late stage Al Davis.

If Tepper starts calling the field to dictate plays then we need to start working on a good frame job. That is a big step in the wrong direction.

The fact that he actually sounded a bit humbled/defeated at times during his press conference gives me a small sliver of hope that he might get something right this time, if only by accident. I'm hardly counting on it, but it's a sliver more than I had in the recent past.

I’d attribute that to having to stand in front of a national media to take questions about his failures.

I would caution against assuming he’s been “humbled”. He sounded more than ready to bite back at the press, but appeared to be restraining himself.

The $100,000 question is who has Tepp’s ear, and what are they going to tell him?

Tepper humbled?

Read this........

...and if there is any validity to it.........Charlotte and the Panthers are in for a ride and it's not going to be pretty.

I think the end of the presser showed the real Tepper.  Beginning of it was him playing the role he was prepped to display. 

Did he sound humbled and defeated at the end of the presser? 

Issue with Tepper is he isn't going to sell the team and he is the one person we are stuck with.   So while he probably is problem #1 he is one problem we can't expect to change any time soon.   We need a good HC/GM combo.  Simple as that.  A combo that can deal with a bad owner and mitigate it.

Honestly he comes off as shrewd and smart there.  Can not blame him for taking advantage of an obvious opportunity.  And I am no tepper fan

He sounded like someone who just pissed away 70 million

He sounded that way when he was sticking to the script. The longer he went and the more frustrated he got the more he seemed like the same old cocky asshole.

No real disagreement on any of this, and perhaps humility is a strong word, but the anger and bullheadedness at the end doesn't have to solely reflect his approach to team management. Perhaps as a more cynical take, we can maybe hope that his pride has been stung enough and that he wants to be publicly lauded enough that he follows an actual NFL process when looking for the next coach.

Ok, I've just got to say, as fans we have an emotional and most times a financial investment to our teams. I certainly do. But, there's a couple ways to look at the Panthers current ownership. One we can come to the realization that Tepper is here like it or not and hope the guys on the the field play at a high level and win. Or-complain, which is our right to do. Remember most owners are not "Mother Teresa".  Look , for example at Georgia Frontiere , she was the former owner of the LA/St. Louis Rams. Was a "socialite" (whatever that is) who married the former owner Carroll Rosenbloom. Rams fans remember her as a complete buffoon but somehow they won the Lombardi. Or Jack Kent Cooke former Washington owner during their glory years, who was an alleged wife beater and one of his subsequent wives was the former mistress of a Columbian cartel bigwig.....sweethearts all around.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
