I guess my only question is how do we know to what extent the guy is actually dictating? People assume Bryce was all on Tepper. i actually disagree. I think Bryce was a Scott Fitterer obsession and Tepper has been listening to him. 


Here is what we know.

Tepper has hired TWO terrible HCs and a bad GM. Everything that comes from that is on him.

Tepper feels he needs to meet with the HC weekly during the season. Hint: Tepper isn’t giving out back runs in there.

Tepper traveled with the coaches and scouts to each QB pro day.

We know Tepper is VERY involved. We know Tepper didn’t fire those coach’s for insubordination when they texted him behind Reich’s back. 

Even if he isn’t calling every shot, he’s still influencing everything.

How can you be sure that calzone with legs isn't just Tepper's yes man and house pet?

Now, do not get me wrong, Tepper is at fault. But i think the issue with him is more likely just hiring and listening to the wrong people. I still think there is a chance he can hire and listen to the right people finally. 


The odds of Tepper hiring a good GM and a good coach are zero.

He might luck out and get one hire right, but the other guy will still be trash.

Tepper still doesnt know what he doesn’t know.

Entirely agree hes hired all the wrong people, but I think our current state is just more of a consequence of that and I believe it can still be corrected. 
 

i just dont buy the “we are forever doomed” as long as Tepper owns the team narrative

We are doomed until Tepper gets lucky or learns how to hire correctly. That could take a decade or more. He’s clearly clueless at the moment and he has no one to teach him.

I guess my hope is I believe theres a chance he can still get it right when it comes to hiring. Tbh hes still ONLY hired two coaches. This is not like 10 coaches of dog poo we've gone through. 

He wants to be involved in it all, and that's the problem.

And he's also gotten/earned a bad reputation for being a difficult guy to work for. He's not going to be able to hire the best GM or HC. Partly because they'll have options for better situations (and ours sucks).

But he also will be the same guy making decisions he has been. He doesn't know what he's doing. It's all trial and error. We're hoping the blind squirrel finds a nut.

And then he's going to be involved in the process. And his involvement messes stuff up. Just being present and having opinions he makes known regularly is a problem because he's influenced by those who have his ear.

He's present, but his presence doesn't help

We could be competitive next year. Go 500. That kind of crap happens all the time in NFL. We could be two years from being back in playoffs. Culture change in lockeroom and the right guys brought in can have quick and immediate changes 

we have way too many holes and not enough draft capital or cap space

 

walk me through a realistic scenario where we are around .500 next year

I’m reading between the lines here it sure sounds like Brown and Tabor, the hires made independent of Frank, were all texting Tepper behind Franks back discussing issues with the team. But then after Frank and the coaches he brought over were fired the team got worse.

 

Tepper should have said stop coming to me go to Frank.

Yeah. That's the sort of thing a professional should do.

Not what happened here unfortunately 🙄

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By strato · Posted

      I admit it. Done it a few times but he had something in that video that I'll confess to.  First, never wanted him in the draft, and really was strongly against selecting him. I don’t really see anything that tells me I am off base yet. So I expect him to maybe look better but even so, her is the point: Donnelly asks if people that want him to fail? He has to kill it this year to get me off of that train.  I feel like him being average or game manager and like, the 23rd best QB if he improves.... I don’t want that again in ’25 and ’26. If our QB is gonna be mediocre, may as well take another shot at better.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      A write up on Panthers schedule from NFL.COM Carolina Panthers 2023 RECORD: 2-15 · NFC SOUTH: 4TH Carolina Panthers' complete 2024 NFL schedule Strength of schedule: .467 (T-29) Bye: Week 11   Three marquee matchups: Week 5: at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. ET on FOX Week 10: vs. New York Giants, 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network (Munich) Week 12: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. ET on CBS   Biggest takeaways: Bryce Young takes on Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix within four weeks. The NFL clumped together the rookie quarterbacks on the Panthers' slate in 2024. Young takes on the Bears' Williams in Week 5, the Commanders' Daniels in Week 7 and the Broncos' Nix in Week 8, giving us an on-field comparison of where the 2023 No. 1 overall pick stands in his development versus some of this year's crop. Heck, if something happens in Atlanta and Michael Penix is in the saddle by Week 6, Young could square off against four consecutive rookie QBs. Not only does the stretch give us a chance to see Young against his peers, but it also gives the Panthers a chance to make some hay against other rebuilding clubs, potentially.  Brutal stretch to close the season. New coach Dave Canales' club had better get off to a hot start, because the end of the campaign looks rough on paper. Coming out of a Week 11 bye, the Panthers play five of their final seven games against 2023 playoff teams, starting with Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Dallas in consecutive weeks. That's a ruthless stretch for a young team hoping to gain momentum looking toward 2025 and Year 2 of a new regime. But if the Panthers come out with positive results, it will be clear that Canales has built a solid foundation. Shut out of prime time. The Panthers are the lone club without a single prime-time game on the docket for 2024. Carolina's one standalone match comes against the New York Giants in Germany, where they'll meet former Panther Brian Burns, a first-round pick in 2019 who was traded away this offseason. It's a bummer not to have any prime-time games, but we can spin this positively. Canales' young bunch has the opportunity to grow outside the limelight and pressure that comes with those night tilts. Learning to win is a big part of developing in the NFL. If Carolina can string together a bunch of Sunday afternoon victories, there will always be flex options for the league later in the campaign.    -- Kevin Patra

      I'm going to say,       NO.   Dude is a bust. He is going to make Ryan Leaf look like a good deal.
