Tepper being “incredibly accountable” behind the scenes

Recommended Posts

There is no way he is stepping back from football operations. He already "knows" what coaches he needs and "knows" what we need in the draft. He MUST make BY successful to prove he is a genius and the will be his downfall.

 

The "culture of fear" quote was also important. A lot of people know what its like working at a place like that. Everyone is doing what the have to do to not get fired. If you see something that could be fixed but it would bring attention to you when you can just ignore it and not be involved at all, you ignore that problem. Employees are pit against each other. They will go behind your back and report to the boss what you're doing wrong. Its just tense. Tepper is one of those bosses who makes sure that when everyone wakes up in the morning, the first feeling they get is dread for having to go in that day. It's a horrible way to live but that is what Tepper wants. He wants fear, for you to be on edge, always thinking about what you have to do at work while you're home. 

 

People like this don't change. He cannot do it even if he knows he has to for the team to succeed. He may step back at first but the first loss because of a bad call by the coach, he is back on the field telling the coaching staff how stupid they are and what they will need to change. Everyone can look at the Panthers record and see exactly when he came on board. We will not have a winning season with Tepper involved at all with the team. He needs to sell or....if Tepper is here this team will suck. These Wall Street guys that make it that high up are pretty much the scum of the earth. These are the guys that will short a company to death that was inventing a new treatment for cancer if it means they can make $1,000,000. That's their mindset.

If Bryce has 2 more good games, we will get a good coach to come here.  No coach wants to go to a place without a good or potentially good QB. 

True. We need Bryce to keep flashing or showing potential these last couple games and this job can become a lot more attractive, especially if Tepper agrees to yield to his staff this time.

This from Dianna Rossini of the Atlethic is potential great news:
 

“In Carolina, owner David Tepper has taken hit after hit around the league for meddling and creating a culture of fear, but a league source said Tepper has been self-reflective, blaming himself for almost all the mistakes made this season. The source said, “He’s incredibly accountable and ready to make it right. He’s rejuvenated.”

For a man worth billions of dollars who is paying two coaches who aren’t even working, that should be a positive sign to Panthers fans. A league source said Tepper has his eye on Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who was his first choice last hiring cycle. Johnson is a native of western North Carolina and a former UNC walk-on quarterback but turned down a chance to continue conversations about the Panthers job last year because he didn’t feel ready to take over as a head coach. Now, the source said, Johnson is ready and is expected to have options.”

Dipper could hire Harbaugh, give him full control....and drop the mic and walk away. That would be accountability...

There is no such thing as being accountable BEHIND THE SCENES.  Accountability is not hidden from view--he may be licking his wounded ego, but that is another thing.  Many think success has to do with superior intelligence, and that is only one variable.   I have a doctorate, and people tell me, "You must be smart."  I reply, "in one specific area of life, yes.  But the process teaches you what it takes to be a real expert in one specific area of life, and that knowledge makes me realize what an idiot I am in the other areas."

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
