Why did Tepper bring Cam back?

It’s something I’ve thought about recently. Cam was Jerry’s legacy but Tepper’s goal is to build a team with his stamp on it. Cam clearly didn’t fit this mold. 

Was it to rebuild a relationship with the fans? I don’t get the impression that he really cares about the fans. 

 I think he just doesn’t have ANY feel for pro football, thus his trust in analytics. I think he bowed to the pressure of the media and fans. It certainly wasn’t a Rhule move. Joe Brady maybe? 

I think it was a total flail move. “I’m BAAAACK” gathered kindling for the resurgence seen under Wilks, but I don’t want this to be a Wilks thread.

I feel it was to bring back fans who have checked out, like what he’s doing with the ring of honor stuff. 

just my own hypothesis but after spending money on buying the team, he just wants to make that money back and more. He has no idea how to or have a willingness to build a competitive football team. He just wants to make that money back so bringing in Cam and the nostalgia stuff will put butts in the stadium seats, putting money in his account.

Because we sucked and needed something.

Quite frankly Cam Newton's return is probably the only thing that has happened for us in the last 3 years that was worth giving a damn about (in a positive way).  

1000%

and sadly, I bet he can’t stand any of it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the man enthusiastic for any of that stuff. 
 

Moreover, it had a ‘my bad’ maybe I was wrong about that guy undertone. Is this the only time this has happened with Tepper?

He thought he signed a franchise QB in TB and then again from the SD trade. Tepper has been doing ill advised moves for a 'franchise QB' since his 2nd year of ownership. I just think Cam coming back was a low hanging fruit for him and allowed the people in charge to look a little better while selling seats after they missed so hard on SD and that 5th year option.

Rhule getting rid of Cam in the first place was a dumb move

People forget that Cam wanted a new big contract and had not been playing well in the previous seasons. The common feeling here at the time was that he was not worth the money. 

People wanted him to play out the final year of his contract and he didnt want to.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
