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

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
