A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

This actually didn’t happen…also Nicole wasn’t involved in Rhule’s interview Matt came to Charlotte and Hurney is the one who fell head over heels for him 

Didn’t say she interviewed Rhule and that whole situation about her not completing the DE&I requirement was weird. 

And let’s be real, Tepper went to Rhule’s house and agreed to cut the checks for the $60m guaranteed contract and you think it wasn’t Tepper’s call to hire him? Damn y’all

There was a lot more agent dealing behind the scenes with Rhule’s hire than you think and Marty Hurney did more damage than anyone.

Rhule was Tepper's call, assisted by Marty Hurney and Steven Drummond.

With Reich, Tepper largely abstained from the search. He didn't even take part in the final vote.

The New York Giants having a private jet in Waco ready to take Rhule to the interview is why that whole thing happened to me. Tepper likes to “win” the deal and he thinks he beat the Giants by not letting him leave for the interview. In the end Tepper was the one who looked like a fool and all the other owners hate him for throwing off the coaching pay scale by overpaying a wildly unqualified college coach who didn’t even beat a ranked team.

And who do you think was saying “Dave, we need to sign this guy now”

It was Marty

At no point after just two games will it be "panic time".

The team spent the entire off-season selling the fanbase on the “all star” coaching staff and how pro-ready and cerebral Bryce Young is, meanwhile CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and even Sam Howell all look better than the guy they traded up big assets to get. Bryce has played one game, I get it. Lots of time for him to prove himself so I’m not panicking. But at first glance we have a wildly undersized QB and a wildly overpaid coaching staff that needs to deliver results or else all that smoke the team sold the fans on will lead to more and more empty seats and visiting fans at the stadium for yet another season under David Tepper.

Portraying a new staff and young quarterback's second game in as a must win is what you call "not panicking"?

At no point did the team try to sell anybody on the idea that we were going to be dominant from day one. The idea of an all-star staff and a new rookie quarterback was valid, and everyone said they were going to try and win immediately.

But key on that word "try".

Fans having unrealistic expectations isn't the team's fault. It's the fans' fault

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
