Cliff Notes if you don't want to watch:

  • Brown is lucky Reich was calling plays earlier in the season or he would be getting fired this week
  • Feels Reich and the rest of the Offensive staff are gone after the season. Defensive side might be offered to return since they're under contract
  • Feels Fitt is gone as well
  • Says the players signed in FA were players various members of the staff wanted.
  • Says ultimately things won't change as long as Tepper is involved no matter who is hired of fired
  • Finally, says to be thankful you don't have to watch the Panthers this coming Sunday😀

This part is the one I am not 100% in agreement on.  I get it, Tepper has not been good and maybe too involved in many of the decisions BUT overall he did not build this roster. Tepper did not miss on Sanders, Hurst, and Chark. Tepper did not miss on Icky (still to be determined).  Tepper did not miss on Marshall.  Tepper did not miss on how many other positions did the Panthers draft that have not developed nor contribute. 

Yeah I get it, he did hire these people and I was not happy to start with the Rhule hire but was with Reich and staff brought in this year.  So again, I put way more of this blame on who built this roster.  

Where I will lynch Tepper is if we didn't pick Stroud because of him.

One guy says a division II defense is better than the Panthers. 

That is actually below the bar Here even for a rant. I am watching fewer and fewer of these pundits for their insight. 

Edit: I didn’t compliment the first rant because I didn’t want the person that posted the ESPN clip to feel singled out for ESPN’s content, and then I see you posted the first one too. Ha.

Yeah, most of this current mess is on Fitt and Reich. That said, when you look at the overall Tepper tenure, it's been bad and the team has gotten worse over the years instead of better. That is on Tepper since he's the one that hired the wrong people to run his team.

I watched Julian as well...isn't this the kind of feedback that we've been hoping for? No lies were told.

That said, hopefully Tepper by process of elimination realizes that he is the common denominator. My guess is that he's trying to shortcut to a winner because that'll make the climate easier to discuss the stadium. It's totally backfiring and all he's doing is pushing things out...this is the same town that refused to negotiate with Shinn.

I don't want him to totally walk away though and "hand over to the football people" while he chases building a moon colony or whatever to keep himself occupied because then that risks him getting disinterested and someday not willing to spend when he should. He has to find a balance. Maybe he can shift gears and focus on the new stadium (the project features and design, not the deal--that's a long way off), because it's at least a team-oriented distraction while he hires a President of Football Operations that he knows and can trust.

Then again, sometimes these people are who they are.

    • Ill just be happy if Tepper doesnt make another locker room appearance the rest of the season. 
    • The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.    
    • We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
