Can there be hope with Tepper?

An owner in the NFL is only as good as who he hires to coach the team.

Without the hire of Bill B, Kraft is just a mid owner. He didn't scout and draft TB himself, he didn't coach those teams to SBs.

So in a double edged way, yes there's still hope for Tepper.  IF he can make the correct HC/GM pairing, or even get one right for starters he can start to redeem himself.  As an NFL owner what is gonna define you is the W/L column and hardware cabinet.. not how many concerts you bring to the area.  Winning cures all.. If he sold the team today he'd be a failure of an owner.  If down the road the team wins 3 SBs and is a contender year after year then his outlook will be markedly different.

What about my slam dunk pick in Young? Does that not buy me some credit?

Buddy it's all good, you got sold a dream by your hopefully soon to be former chief advisor, you can admit Bryce was Fitts man crush for 2 years and conned you into green lighting it.

Don’t have any evidence but I think he has/will hire Thomas Dimitroff’s outfit SumerSports. Heard a ton of people hint at it and it has a strong foundation around analytics.

That’s all we need is more of stuff that doesn’t really work, analytics. It was reported when we first got Tepper he wanted to focus on that and it hasn’t really worked…losing season every year he has been here.

Analytics work, when you aren't a half brained dolt like Fitt. It's apart of the package, you take the analytics and pair them with the actual film.  Like the player who runs a slow 40 but blows past people in gametime. Analytics isn't bullsh**, we just have bullsh** people referencing them as some kind of draft easy mode button.

Exactly. The analytics aren't the problem, it's the mouth breathing morons looking at the data and interpreting it in completely stupid ways. That is when analytics doesn't work.

The guy worth 18 billion or whatever it is doesn’t even have the toughness to ignore a goddamn Jaguars fan. Out of all people to let under your skin , a Jaguars fan. I’ve never met one out in the wild before and Tepper lets one get the best of him, are you kidding me….

I know they are important and you make a great point about fitt not knowing what he is doing, but should it be all we care about? I feel like when Tepper is brought up and they talk about how he likes things and wants to build a team, analytics are always there, it feels like that’s all he wants.

Literally the only positive thing I can say about Tepper is he cares about winning.

He just has zero idea to do it, or how to deal with adversity.

Bring in an actual competent GM and coach, then stay the hell out of the public eye.

If he can't do that, then we're going to be no better than a below-average team for as long as he's owner.

I've heard the reports that he's "learned from his mistakes," at least on the football side. Hopefully that's true, but it blows my mind that a billionaire in his late 60s needs to be told not to throw drinks on people.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
