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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think it's short sighted to judge a QB or HC in a vacuum. They both need good players to be successful. That's the GM's role. And he's young in his role too. His general experience in the league gives him a bit of an advantage/perspective that everyone doesn't have. But he still has to perfect his role as a GM.  But whether they're good or not, they are young in their roles. That is the point I was making. Could they be better at what they do? Of course. But it's hard to have early success when you have so many major areas still figuring out how to do their jobs at the same time. Asking a QB to pass for 4000 yards when neither of his 2 best WRs have played a full season is a tall task. Asking a HC to be an effective HC while he's calling plays when he's only done it for 3 years, and he has a young roster is a tall ask. Especially with a roster with so many holes and lack of talent. But that young label is definitely coming to its end. It's about time to start showing major improvements on offense, defense and coaching. Dan has had 3 drafts/offseasons to improve the roster. Dave has had 2 training camps. Bryce has had 3 seasons, though that first season was a pretty tough situation for anyone to learn, let alone have success. The QB is on the hotseat. Mostly because it's pay up or shut up time. He's ran out of time. Doesn't matter if he has reasons or not.  Not getting into the other stuff. Too many layers to pull back.
