sure they will.  only 32 of the these gigs on planet Earth. 

Tepper isn't the first or last problematic owner.   League has always had plenty of Teppers. 

I said worth their salt, of course you’ll have garbage candidates

well, I don't buy that.  Tepper hasn't actually been that radical.  He came in and gave Ron a fair enough shot.  He gave Rhule way more time than he deserved.   He is willing to spend money on staff and whatever else. 

Tepper has just been horrific in his choice for GM and HC.   Frank probably will get way more time than he deserves.  Tepper just needs to make good hires.  They will exist.

I don’t see him throwing Tepper under the bus. Frank came in and implemented the only offense he’s ever used and it doesn’t fit our roster and it also stinks. After 6 weeks of this poo show it sounds like Tepper suggested doing something to help Bryce out, but they haven’t. Now Tepper has made a bunch of bad hires, but the scheme vs. personal issues are all Frank imo.

Frank is saying he knows what the oline is good at and he understands what he is forcing them to do and poorly.

The only issue is that was his MO before getting hired here. Still sounds like it really is Tepper forcing it all but that dummy signed up for this. Job interviews go both ways dude

Would make total sense if Dalton didn't air it out for 300 yards. Young can barely crack 200 and he's had 10 games. There is obvious signs of external forces making Frank run an offense he knows won't work with this unit.

Dalton has been playing in the NFL for 100 years and it took the most pass attemtpts in his career for us to reach that pedestrian pass mark….while he was under comical pressure. 

external force? Frank is running what Frank runs.   And Frank has run it poorly and it not worked in every place he has ever been.  It’s how he gets fired.

Both things can be, and are, true - Bryce is much worse than Dalton at this point and the offensive scheme is atrocious.

Look at Frank in that presser. He has the ‘I really f’in hate this ish’ look on his face. It’s the EXACT same face we saw in Rhule after a while. 

We talk all the time about molding an offense to fit your players. Tepper is changing 10 players to fit 1. It’s insanity, until you dig deeper. One would think you mold Bryce to fit what’s already in place… NOPE. 

 It’s not about winning. It’s winning the Tepper way so he can be seen as having built it and thereby take all the credit and accolades. 

He has to win playing Tepper ball with his guy. Bryce. Dalton playing well is a threat to that. You know, with Bryce being NFL ready and all, why does Dalton look so much better?  He sees it as Dalton making his guy look bad and in turn, making him look bad.

I GUARANTEE you, the first 3 game winning streak we get (yeah, right) Tepper will assemble a press conference to tell the whole world that he is the one that pushed for Bryce. 

Wilks could have gone undefeated and It wouldn’t have made a difference at all. He was a holdover from Jerry’s team and people need to know there’s a new sheriff in town now. 

I can only imagine the glee he felt inside when Jerry’s statue came down. 

A narcissist is never wrong about anything, ever. It’s in the programming. It’s seriously just the way they are wired. They truly believe that every time they fail at something, it was due to an outside factor, so they keep trying to find and fix what they believe caused it to not go the way they intended, because it’s never some sort of internal flaw. That’s just not possible.

That’s where Tepper is now. He sees that after 5 years of his ownership and meddling, we’re a laughing stock, and the worst Panther team ever assembled. He’s honestly not sure how the hell this all happened with him at the controls.

My grave concern is that it gets worse, as much as I hope I’m wrong.

      Tepper's patience

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Patience with someone's job status in the NFL isn't necessarily the same thing as having patience. He pushed the front office and coaches to make moves to win immediately, instead of letting them build up a team the right way over a course of a number of years.  I don't even think that's a bad thing to have in an owner, love that he wants to win that badly.  But we need to have the staff and coaches in place who can and will push back on him when and where needed to do it right.  You don't win in the NFL through quick fixes, just doesn't work that way, too many moving parts. The only way he gets a good HC or GM candidate to come here is if he GUARANTEES 2024 has no impact on his job status and they are allowed to replace Bryce with a QB of their choosing, and then GUARANTEES they get at least 2 seasons to prove themselves. If you can somehow convince them of that, we could get a realistic candidate to come here, maybe some sort of poison pill clause in the contract that if Tepper doesn't hold up his end, the coach gets a $100 million payout on top of an already big contract. It would let the HC/GM know they have 3 years to prove themselves, not to make decisions based on an immediate impact, but a year or two down the line.  They could then play Bryce all season to see if they think they can do anything with him and not be concerned about getting fired if they keep losing while ending up with a high draft pick for a new QB.

      Speculation and rumors about Reich firing.

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      My plausible take: Hey Frank, Dave here. We want a clean start to our team. New staff. New receivers. New QB. I want you to head it up. Come home, we’re building something great. Money no object.    Frank: Tempting. Always wanted something like this. Stroud looks like a stud, everything I want in a QB.    Dave: I love it Frank. Sounds great. Here’s a contract. Here’s your sign on bonus.    and with the first selection…  Bryce Young.    Frank: F you.  I want out. I quit. You lied to me. Dave: Um, ok. I’m going to need the GROSS sign on bonus back please, and you’ll forfeit all owed salary for quitting without cause. Frank: but the .gov already took $X.XX million in taxes for the lump sum sign on bonus you just paid me. I Guess you’ll have to just fire me without cause because you’re not screwing me over, making me pay you $X.XX million of my own money, when you screwed me out of your promise. Dave: If I fire you without cause, I’ll owe you the entire contract. If you quit without cause, I owe you nothing and you owe me your sign on bonus that I already gave you.    Panther fans are then treated to 10 weeks of Frank/Dave stalemate, ass quality football putting the safety of the nice guy little dude we put under center, in hope of getting fired. Dave breaks before Frank breaks his QB. How many games did we have to see Bryce get smoked with Ickey watching from his front row seat. Over and over again. I guess I now know why Ickey never got any help. This last Sunday, when all we had to do was get in the locker room at half with a couple runs, the SOB dials up passing plays. Punt. FG right at half.    It was at that moment that I KNEW he was trying to get fired. it was just obvious then.  Screw Reich. You did this on purpose. I’m sure your contract had language to the effect of repayment of bonus if you quit without cause, but this will never go reported. You could have at least tried but it was obvious that you never did, Frank.   Bryce wasn’t my guy but he didn’t deserve that. I actually like the guy. I wonder what Frank has said to Bryce behind closed doors. Bryce has got to be the happiest one of all in all of this. I’m genuinely curious to see how he responds to this. I’d LOVE to be proven wrong. Bryce, if you can show me some fire and take this team on a 3 game win streak, I will buy a stitched jersey with your name on it and rock it proudly.    Dave, I love the Panthers. Please let this clown show end.
