The only hope I see: complete and total disengagement from David Tepper

Think Tepper would hire a guy who would definitely push back on him and tell him what he thinks?

 

Maybe not, but that's exactly what he needs. 

Each failure should become more humbling. I just thinks he keeps hiring the wrong guys. I can't say for sure, but once we get the right guy, I don't think Tepper will be as involved.

Yes please. Whatever follows may noy be what I like but as long as it was halfway competent I would be re-energized. This team has been run into the ground and his people are known trash who perform poorly for him.

Person confirmed today my worst fear but also in a way explained a lot of things and provided some home.

Tepper is an over meddling owner. We had our suspicions but up to this point I don't think anyone confirmed it. Now we know. Now we have a reason why his tenure here has been below average to god awful. It's suffocating for the HC and GM to make decisions when your owner is meddling with each one. I honestly don't know how to judge Reich and Fitterer now because it's hard to know what exactly has been Tepper vs. them. 

We will continue to be a poverty franchise until Tepper stops meddling entirely or sells the team. It's just so unlikely his influence will ever have a positive impact.

This is exactly the type of staff that a “football person” would have hired.  Hindsight is always 20/20.

lol wut?

Reich and Fit absolutely are not what would have been hired, even I saw Reich as a god awful move, and thus a lot of other hires/moves wouldn’t have happened like a domino effect and we wouldn’t be where we are now. Fit and Reich are not hindsight and neither was keeping Hurney and all those coming effects like TB, Darnold, trades etc. 

Not sure where you’re coming from as none of that was hindsight and was called immediately as more dumbassery from a egotistical, meddling owner by anyone with a brain cell.

also a football person would probably advise Tepper stay out of things and there is no WAY Tepper will do thar

yall strap up, Tepper is as oblivious as they get. We still have decent coordinators wanting to come here for money, soon not even that will matter. Rock bottom yet to come

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
