Different strategies each time.  You got to think he's ready to just find someone to really help get this right.  He needs the right people listening to candidates and helping create an informed decision for growing something from the ground up.  Top down.

Do we trust him to identify that person though?

I know who I have in mind, but I have no idea whether Tepper will go that route

This all boils down the the #1 overall pick.

The amount they gave up, that needed to be the undisputed greatest draft pick of all time. But as it turned out, we got Bryce...

No draft, no roster. Reich and Fitt bet their professional careers on Young, and it didn't work out. So they have to be as well.

The only thing that will help us heal is time. We're going to suck until we suck long enough to draft an actual game-changer with the #1 overall pick we've earned. And that is at least 2 years away.

now the Panthers fired him after year 1 of his 4 year guaranteed contract (between $20m & $40m)

 

Did Tepper learn his lesson about keeping poor coaching around longer than needed?  Should we be celebrating Tepper's decision to pull the rug now vs waiting until the end of the season (or potentially worse - middle of season 2?)

Eventually yes, but that's not who I think he really wanted initially.  I hope Frank does eventually give his side of the story, but he's classy and I doubt he airs the dirty laundry.  Honestly, even if he does, I wouldn't think less of him because this fan base needs an explanation and you know Tepper isn't going to give us a straight, HONEST, answer.

Why is it so hard to believe? I would understand this possibility if Bryce was NOT considered the top QB prospect in this draft but on most boards he was. The early returns on Young haven't been great but hopefully things can get turned around.

If Tepper fires Fitterer and actually surrounds himself with football minds to navigate the process of hiring a coach and GM combo in unison and allows them to do their jobs without him or his wife inserting themselves into the middle of the day to day team operations I will feel much better about our future. But I think we'll see pigs fly before that.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
