Tepper's patience is why we are screwed for at least 3 more years.

His lack of patience is how we ended up with Bridgewater, Darnold and then Baker

It’s been the biggest issue since he bought the team

I wonder if Rhule, Hurney and Fitt drove that. Hurney always acted like he was going to get canned after he came back. Remember Tepper’s letter to PSL holders that mentioned patience with an obvious rebuild? I can’t recall exactly but I think it was after Cam’s release.

We didn’t really hear about Tepper’s involvement in any of the Rhule QBs and heck he said he kept Marty because of his college scouting. I think Tepper got more involved the worse we got but he committed to the people and hires so his fault as the boss.

Isn't it widely known/reported that Tepper drove the decision to dump Bridgewater after one season?

Yep he wasn’t watching another season of Bryc…I mean Teddy

Tepper wanted Fields but let Rhule/Fitt take Horn. 

Every single year the best move Tepper could make is no move yet they continue to double down

From what I've read, Rhule was pretty much dead set against taking a rookie. He looked at them the same as a college freshman.

The way he handled Corral pretty well validated that.

Not that I’m aware of. The Tepper making all the decisions never really came up until post Rhule/Frank sucking. People can rewrite history but Rhule supposedly had full control of decisions and getting rid of Teddy was definitely his call. Remember his calling out of the coaching? Pretty sure Teddy’s end of game performances (bad) and complaints were the reason for parting, not Tepper.

I don’t recall Tepper forcing out Teddy. Teddy called out the coaches and played terrible at the end of games. Rhule had full roster control. Tepper’s made plenty of hiring and other mistakes but it’s funny now that Rhule is gone that he’s getting blamed for Rhule mistakes.

Tepper was reported to be pretty pissed at Matt Rhule over the way the Bridgewater thing turned out.  He also "expressed himself" publicly in a way that made it pretty difficult to bring Bridgewater back.

Thing is, what we've learned since is that Bridgewater was essentially right about Rhule.

    • I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way? 
    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
