From Joe Person's summary in The Athletic...

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper said he does possess patience despite firing three coaches in-season since buying the team. 

Boy, If that line doesn't say it all 😄

He seems to possess patience is areas he shouldn’t, like Rhule last year or Fitt, then areas he should, like correctly building the team.

So we lowly fans should all just sit back and accept that our billionaire owner runs a sh-tty team and be happy that we're getting to watch football regardless of whether it's good or not?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll decline.

I don't think anybody here is of the mind that conversing on a message board is going to change anything, but it's what fans do in a sport talk forum.

I mean yeah you pretty much are gonna have to sit back and accept it. Cause, as you have pointed out, anything we say on this board means squat.

In fact you learn more in life from being wrong and not repeating that than to be "right" all the time.

And?

where does it say the coaches wanted someone else?

They get carried away as usual.  Tepper wasn't calling plays and didn't overrule everyone by selecting Young.  You could tell Fitt wanted Young the whole time.  Thomas Brown is a big Young guy as well.  Everyone wants a scapegoat, but this mess was a collaborated effort.

I mean its becoming a universal thought at this point.  With so much smoke.......

 

Someone in Carolina was going to take the fall for this at some point, even though it is the widespread belief in NFL circles that Tepper pushed for the drafting of the diminutive Young over Stroud, who has the prototypical size and accuracy of the type of quarterback Reich has tended to prefer over the course of his coaching career.

That echoes what Stephen Holder said about it being "an open secret" around the league.

Yes it is but as you say ‘it is a sports talk forum 

Extrapolated, not one person on here knows what actually went on.  It is conjecture, not facts 

I do not  know David Tepper    I can make my own judgements based on results   Who knows whether those are right or not.    The same is true of every poster on this board 

No one is ‘lowly’ but no one on this board’s knowledge or experience is superior to anyone else’s either.

Oh sweet

another

”belief” /speculation link

no different than you throwing random crap at the wall.

Ill take what someone says as certain from someone who personally knows someone who was in that decision process who you are even claiming wanted someone else.

 

but yeh.  I think, or speculate.   Is far more believable

Yet people are confidently saying that Tepper is telling the truth, despite reporting to the contrary.

If "no one knows" then why should that viewpoint be believed either?

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      By Basbear · Posted

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
