Having a meeting is pretty vague. So many assumptions are being made on what is happening in these meetings. 

I have zero issues with Tepper being in the loop.  

I'm thrilled we have an owner who hates losing as much as he does. Seems like he hates it more than many fans say they do.  So I see a damned if he does anything, and damned if he doesn't mentality with most of our fan base. 

Is it the same folks saying Tepper meddles too much that want him to fire Reich?  Are they two camps?  It wouldn't surprise me if it is the same people.

If you don't think his meddling is affecting the trajectory of this franchise then I'm not sure what to tell you.   The proof is in the pudding as they say.  Weve literally been the worst franchise since he took over.  And 0-5 is way past the point of simple growing pains 

You sure are ignoring whatever doesn't support your opinion.

Tom Dundon runs the Hurricanes this way and is hugely successful. The biggest reason why they are and we arent is that Dundon listens to his advisors and its looking like Tepper is not.

Not really… Dundon opens his wallet and lets Waddell and Rod do their jobs

Tepper very clearly has no issue opening his wallet. Our current staff is very overpaid, something the team media let us all know.

Tepper needs to listen to the experts and hes not.

I agree, my point is that Dundon, unlike Tepper, just pays the bills and lets the professionals do their jobs. Tepper doesn’t, he’s willing to open the wallet but then involves himself in every decision, undermining the people he hires. That’s the difference

all that is cool and all but just remember that is not the normal OP for a nfl owner, but if you are fine with it then you are fine with it.

1 out of every 32 teams is the worst in the league. Of course it’s not normal to meet up that much but how many other others were convinced by their HC and GM that playoffs were achievable and that their best two offensive players were expendable, their not extended edge rusher was worth as much as the first pick in the draft and that we should trade up now.

It’s funny that people use Tepper’s point guard pressed as though he forced the Young pick and that he thought Moore was expendable. I see it as him restating what his chosen HC and GM told him. Tepper is not coming up with that on his own and it’s obvious now that he’s very upset because he was sold a bill of goods and we ended up the worst team in the league.

I still blame him for not letting Hurney go with Ron, same with Fitterer. I just find it funny that some of the heaviest posters are loving this blame Tepper stuff because their lauded HC and GM again look like their decisions weren’t their fault. Amazing.

Really? From Wikipedia:

Dundon wasted little time in overhauling the Hurricanes' front office. On March 8, 2018, the team announced that general manager Ron Francis had been moved to the role of president of hockey operations.[31] However, Sportsnetreporter Elliotte Friedman reported that the "promotion" was likely in name only, noting that there were rumblings Francis and Dundon did not see "eye-to-eye".[32][non-primary source needed]Subsequently, coach Bill Peters resigned from his position on April 20, 2018,[33] to pursue a similar opportunity with the Calgary Flames (he ultimately replaced Glen Gulutzan as the Flames' head coach three days later),[34] and the Hurricanes officially fired Francis from the organization altogether on April 30, 2018,[35]leaving vacancies in both the head coach and general manager positions.

Wasnt Ron Francis a pretty big hockey guy? The Hurricanes made the playoffs in Dundon’s first full year and every year since. It’s easier to be more hands off when you make the playoffs every year. That’s not the Panthers who had a flash of hope to end last year and are now worse than they were with Rhule at the helm.

I'm not saying he made the pick and I'm not saying he didn't make the pick but there are tons of people close to the team and national media and people close to Reich that are all saying the same things or similar things about Tepper and the pick in the draft and his involvement with the team. 

 

Lots of smoke and where there's smoke...there's fire.

Lol. It sure seems like a lot of CYA going on now. Everyone is playing hot potato. People close to Reich are saying it’s not his fault that the team he said would be a playoff team is sucking balls.

Sorry, I’ve watched the games and the play calling is awful and the roster decisions are terrible (Fitterer). I’m not blaming the owner’s wife lol.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
