Basically running an NFL franchise like an NFL fan would...

I already thought it was bad, but damn 😳

 

 

Most of us would run it better. If an assistant coach came to me like that, I would shut it down and report it to the HC. That’s terrible culture building.

Most of us would make mistakes, but it wouldn’t be this bad. This level of bad comes from huge ego and immaturity.

...which comes from thinking you're the smartest guy in the room and nobody can challenge you.

Said previously the "talking to too many people" thing makes it seem like Tepper believes he knows what he's doing and maybe just needs occasional advice from people to confirm his thinking. This goes even further and makes it sound like he gets ideas from articles or videos he sees online.

Lord almighty 😩

Yeah, this article doesn't help the perception of Bryce Young at all.

I was on the "bryce young is a bust" train about 3ish weeks ago and this lines up with that.  Not understanding an offense, along with his shitty mechanics(which he has always had) coupled with his slight frame and poo arm is just a recipe for starting completely over.

I thought I’d seen down times over the course of ~30 years as a Panthers fan. The Tepper regime has shown me that I knew nothing about the depths of fan despair. Tepp may kill this franchise if things don’t change. 

Similar feelings...and I was here through both 2001 and 2010.

So Young’s footwork is an issue and no one decided to bring this up in the pre draft process. Tepper was picking Young and doesn’t know a damn thing about footwork

Meanwhile CJ has maybe the cleanest and smoothest drop back in the league and did so in college too. 
 

Weird how something like that translates smh

    • Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.   
    • From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.
    • Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
