What proof do we have of this?

Not sure if joking but I will provide a few examples: 

1. Tepper “suggested” to Rivera  that the Panthers run a 3-4 defense in 2019. Maybe it is a coincidence that they again are running a 3-4 defense even though they clearly do not have the right players. 

2. Tepper has been very vocal about needing a franchise QB and has been reported to be a part of every major decision around this starting with Stafford, including Watson, and of course Young. It was reported that Tepper did not want to guarantee Watson the amount he was asking. It was reported that Tepper balked at Stafford health and while they were deciding The Rams got him. Both he and wife were very present at the combine which is not normal.

Tepper may have been right on every one of these things but that is not the point. The point is he is involved in these decisions as reported. He claims he lets the football people make decisions but let the Panthers record of 26-54 since he took over be the evidence that he is influential in decisions. Yes I wanted the local guy…Ben Navarro as the new owner so maybe I am jaded.

I think Tepper has made bad choices and people want a scapegoat to blame everything on..when everyone in the FO hold blame

People want one convenient person to blame everything on when its been a systemic failure that starts with him but is not only just him

It starts and ends with him because he's the one acting as team president. This is his FO. He's made the hiring and firing decisions without the benefit of having experience in the operations of a football team. He got taken by Hurney. He got taken by Rhule. He got taken by Fitts and right now it doesn't look promising for Reich. He's been involved in pushing for players he wanted, much like Snyder did. His wife is on the phone making a trade during the draft. He took out the grass field so he could install turf and use the stadium for concerts and soccer despite what the players of his team want and the studies have shown regarding injury. 

People are blaming Tepper because his fingerprints are all over this sloppy mess and it looks like one big shitshow because that's what it is.

That moron will not fire Reich for at least 2 seasons. He will probably fire him after 5 games into the 3rd season after we start 0-5 for the third straight year under Reich.

That wouldn't surprise me either, but fans are getting restless after years of terrible outcomes. If Tepper wants to keep fan support for this team, then doing something drastic may be in-order.

We were never a good franchise. But now we are just a bad franchise lol. He should luck into a couple winning seasons in a row and then sell the team. 

Before Tepper bought the team, the Panthers were a hot and cold franchise with two Super Bowl appearances and hovering around .500 historically, which for an expansion franchise compared to their other expansion franchise peers is wildly successful. Go look at the history of the Bucs, Saints, and Falcons when they entered the NFL.

Tepper took a .500 team and made it a .250 team. I am fairly confident nothing he will do will result in success at this point.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I have been a big XL guy/fan.  He know doubt was drafted because he fits a role that is in all the Os Canales has been around.  my concern is Bryce, and it’s probably not a talent issue on this aspect.  Just a QB DNA thing.  I really think Canales and XL pair best with a gunslinger/risk taker.   You want to limit gunslinger with the run but then need the QB to go downfield aggressively.   Bryce needs to simply play and be more aggressive downfield.   Which is easier said than done if not wired that way

      Let Rod Walk

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Agreed. People who say this are of the same ilk as "WE GOTTA GET RID OF RICHARDSON SO WE CAN GET THE NFL SHIELD OFF THE FIELD." How is that working out now?  Rod can stay as long as he likes and keeps fielding one of the best teams in the NHL. He does need someone on the staff that understands goalies. That has always been a weakness for him.

      Do I want Bryce Young to be a good QB? Yes, the Panthers homer in me is rooting for him to turn it around against all odds and prove all the haters wrong.  Do I think Bryce Young will be a good QB? No. And the odds are he won’t be. I didn’t think he’d translate to the NFL from the moment I watched him against the Texas defense in 2022, a game Alabama only won because Quinn Ewers got knocked out of the game. When he faced pressure he looked like sh*t and that’s the exact same QB we saw in the NFL. He’s too short to step up in the pocket so you have to design a gimmick offense to allow him to improvise plays. He didn’t scream “first overall pick” to me at least.  Meanwhile CJ Stroud played out of his mind in the biggest game of his life against the best defense in college football and the Panthers said nah we’re going to draft the 5’9 guy who couldn’t carve up an average Texas defense.
