David Tepper and the Carolina Panthers: The Rhules of Engagement.

Yeah, I think there were some early voices rattling the "This is all Tepper's fault" saber. I know I was firmly on that bandwagon after Rhule didn't get dismissed in the offseason, which is where most of us jumped on board.

If he doesn't pull up from this nosedive in the offseason with a quality hire, this franchise will actually get worse. Mark my words, that is more than possible.

Tepper needs to take a giant step back from his hands on BS. The fact we were going so hard for Watson this offseason just shows how on the edge of the cliff to worse we still are as a team. 

I'm still hoping for a consultant to be brought in to hold his hand. I just don't know how much failure it takes to make him realize that. I'm really not impressed with the people he brought into the front office at this point.

The Carolina Panthers are a hot mess. Even glancing at them for a few seconds this season can show you that. However, going after a few low blows against an irrelevant and dead franchise is too easy. We have to go deeper (like a few inches deeper): We have to look at new owner David Tepper's reign.
 

Brutal but deserved. Ra-Ra homers need a reality check about the state of this franchise. They cope saying that "well Washington/Jax has worse owners!!!!!" as if that means absolutely anything.

Good video. The Jed York piece is spot on.... these guys come in like hot shots and then get grounded real fast. How they respond to that is what really matters.... I dont get the vibe of a Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder... but these next few years are realy going to tell us if Tepper is the hotshot owner who got humbled, or is he a stubborn son of a bitch that just wont know how to run a football team.

Right now, my money is on the former.... mainly because of the things he said during his presser. There was a lot of admitting to his short comings and things he has learned.

 

The whole rock hill thing, both sides are at fault.. and in all honesty... thats the business people doing business things ... i could care less about that IF im trying to judge him as a football team owner. If I am trying to judge him as a business leader... I have a lot more research to do before im come out blasting.

That’s a shame. Guy makes good content. One of my favorite sports YouTubers. 

FlemLo Raps is good too if anybody hasn't seen his stuff.  He has a fair amount of Panthers content too.

e: his Rae Carruth deep dive is gutwrenching but excellent

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
