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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
