He wasted an entire season in 2023 because he couldn’t admit the obvious. 

I think he kept a low profile early in the season figuring out the best way to address it, plus the rock hill debacle probably took his attention away a bit.

He may have just suffered from a bad sense of timing rather than reluctance in admitting the obvious.

I can say that I am at least interested in the team again. For the first time since 1995, I went without watching the Panthers every Sunday last season because I was so pissed at how Tepper ran this team into the ground. He should have gotten rid of Rhule at the end of the previous season but instead left us stuck with crappy football to start off. Firing the idiot was a start, and the moves the team has made this offseason at least give me hope that it is headed in the right direction. Even if we aren't world beaters this year, I will watch again simply because effort has been made to improve the team by hiring real coaches and letting Fitt do his job without interference from the clueless moron and his "brand".

Most of us have been pissed off and very negative of the sh#t happening with the team since he took over. He has made some huge hiring mistakes that have cost this team dearly.

He appears to have learned to hire the right people and to actually let them make the important decisions. Getting out of the way and allowing the experienced football people to do their thing is paramount to having success.

Thumbs up to the changes happening and to the man for having the foresight to let it happen.

I guess we will see what happens, right? 

His soccer team is hot garbage right now. No guarantee football won't end up the same way. I have my doubts.

The biggest positive for me is that he let the football people run the coaching search, right down to abstaining from the final vote.

He's also publicly admitted that he came in thinking he could change everything and revolutionize the game but has now learned that he wasn't as football smart as he thought he was.

His role these days seems best described as questions and suggestions, but not decisions.

As long as it stays that way, I'm good.

I've said the whole time that people were being too hard on him.

Everyone wanted to have an owner that was hands off, hires his football people and let's them do their thing, which is exactly what he did.  It sucks that it didn't work out the first few years, but beyond pushing them to be in on trades for Stafford and Watson, he's been a very hands off owner from the football side of things.  

His mistake was putting that trust in Rhule, you can be mad all you want at giving him one too many years, but that's not enough to make him a bad owner.

Trusting the wrong people is one of the worst mistakes any owner can make.

It was the same mistake that Jerry Richardson made. Unfortunately, Richardson never learned (or acknowledged) how wrong he was.

Tepper has at least admitted to his failures and seems to be working to fix them.

I'll take that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
