We really screwed up

When I say we, I mean the organization, not the fans.   Ben Navarro should be the owner of the Panthers… Jerry wanted it, those who have the Panthers best interest in mind wanted it, and anyone who is familiar with both guys wanted it.   Carolina ties (Charleston), low key personality who didn’t want any involvement in creating football decisions but rather supporting the best minds attainable both professionally and financially.  Son of a college football coach and essentially just a lover of the game who wanted to bring a championship home.   Basically Jerry without the old school work environment.  
 

instead we are stuck with this POS and there’s likely only two ways his tenure will end.  He’ll move the team or run it into the ground and eventually be forced to sell 15 years from now after he turns us into the browns.

apologies for beating a dead horse.

Why is Tepper a bad owner? What's the expectation for owners that he isn't meeting? Not disagreeing with you, but don't understand the reasoning.

He pays for the best coaching staff money can buy. Rhule didn't work out, but he was highly sought after and Tepper gave him a deal he couldn't pass up. 

Is Tepper making decisions he shouldn't be making? Is he overriding other front office personnel that he shouldn't be?

I mean what does that even mean though? Reich isn't a SB winner. For all we've seen Wilks is a more impressive coach thus far. Caldwell got his ass kicked all the time with the Lions. McCown was a terrible player. It's like Tepper just saw all the names and through money at it.

The NFL picks the owners and they had a hard time and had to lower their standards for the DC sale. 

Blame the NFL for being a billionaires profit making toy. Most new owners stink for years and some never change. Just make the teams publicly traded and get rid of the rich doofuses problem altogether.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
