Is anyone really surprised by this behavior? It's coming from a guy who has reneged on a number of deals with local government in the area, resorts to name-calling of fans when they don't agree with his naive vision and can't seem to keep a coach around for either of his franchises in order to build a sustainable program.

He's nothing more than an incompetent narcissist.

You can tell Fitts is unsurprised by the behavior of his boss.  Just stands there hands In pockets like he’s waiting to catch the bus. 

More than anything, I'm getting the "I'm not involved in this" vibe from Fitterer. He's just doing the innocent bystander thing. 

He's in that moment when an idiot boss does something stupid and you just want to hang back, not get involved and just take it in. No emotions left in the guy.

Watching it again, it’s the same guy that’s standing at the front of the box before/as the water is thrown.  He’s wearing a Panthers sweatshirt. Walks back up and pulls out his phone, that’s when Fitt sees it and walks away.

It looks like the fan has been heckling Tepper for some period of time. He definitely looks like security who was called in to stand there. Not defending the BS Tepper did in any way. Just saying this guy seemed to be security/damage control and was fully expecting this to happen.

Ya… if Tepper is willing to do that to an opposing teams fan… I don’t want to know what he’s thrown/done to our teams people in private…. That was not a good look.

I keep hoping we have a watershed moment where the lots of private truths come out from people within the organization and they are bad enough that he is forced to sell.

Such a weird reaction by Tepper. Did the fan say something to him (if so, awesome - hopefully he called him a cuck like the rest of us would)? If not, just weird to do what he did.

Regardless, punish the hell out of him NFL and force him to sell the team.

They'll force him to apologise and pay a fine - that's it.

You've also got to remember that Tepper is an arsehole. If the NFL somehow force him to sell (over something else) you know he's going to want to double his money.

Eh, I see anger management classes in his future and a couple million less when the fan sues.

Fitt looks like a guy to me that wishes he was fired when Reich was.

The NFL taking more picks after what Tepper already did would just punish the fans further. Ban that man from the building for an offseason if you want to punish Tepper in a way that actually bothers him, giving the fans any hope is just a bonus to that.

      So, just what is it that makes a QB "elite"?

      By The Lobo · Posted

      I think what makes a qb elite is when every week you think your team has a chance to win because of your qb. No matter who they play, they always make you feel like you have a chance. I have not gotten that feeling once while watching Bryce.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By d-dave · Posted

      Great point!  The quotes from O'Connell about teams failing rookie Qbs and the one about how you coach them after 3 picks and a loss were really interesting.  To me, an idiot with a keyboard, it means NFL teams need to be patience if they are going to have quality QB play. So bringing me to Bryce, is there some benefit to being patient.  I know it's not a particularly popular opinion around here, and even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  Most QBs, when benched lose their confidence.  It takes a LONG time to get it back.  Bryce on the other hand was benched, and came back a different player.  I feel like that's worth a lot more than the physical talents of a guys like AR15... I think Bryce has the mental make up to be a good NFL QB.  His problem will always be his tools.  Now it's on coaching to work around that.  Bryce is more physically gifted than late years Drew Brees (low bar, I know).   While I'm content to see what happens this season, there's a small part of me that says...maybe we should see what grows?  (let me duck and hide from the well earned vitriol the Panthers have earned). Then again, I agree that some guys get it while others just don't.  I'm still hoping for the Panthers and Bryce to find success this season.  But if not, I won't be too surprised if the plug is pulled and there is a restart.
