Now I'm just waiting for some big scandal to emerge involving Tep Dawg. Would not shock me in the slightest. If he has skeletons in his closet, now seems like a good time for them to start surfacing. 

we can only hope, anticipating how far down the rabbit hole this team goes

What are our chances of hiring a decent head coach or GM now ?  I mean who the fug would want to work for our asshat owner ?


Or coach a bunch of guys who gave up a goose egg to a Jags backup QB.

Article from the future

 

April 2024- New Panthers HC Thomas Brown talked to the media today and shared his thoughts on the Panthers trading their 25’ and 26’ 1st round picks to move into the 22nd pick of this months draft. A bold but head scratching move from David Tepper who has stepped in as GM after the dismissal of Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan and promotion of Samir Suleiman to Assistant GM. 
 

Brown, who was selected to be the Panthers next HC despite only being a play caller for half a season hired Matt Canada as OC to assist in running the Carolina offense. Ejiro Evero was not retained by the Panthers who looked to replace him with a familiar face- Eric Washington. 
 

Washington will also have Brian Burns to lean on this season after the Panthers made him the highest paid edge in the NFL and also extended Jaycee Horn. Derrick Brown was traded for two 4th round picks in an effort to save cap space after the addition of big name WR Curtis Samuel rejoining the Panthers last month.

 

The hate I have for you speaking this into existence makes me want to puke

Better - this is a perfect PR opportunity for Tepper.  Pay the fine, make the apology, vow to cooperate with Godell and accept his “punishment” in the form of a suspension from football operations during the preseason and for the first 8 weeks of the ‘24 season.  

It’s genius.  It’ll take weeks or months to hash out the punishment giving him time to pick the GM, HC and staff before backing himself quietly out of the spotlight for a few months as the new guys steer the ship. 

A GM and Coach who want $ and control will see the opportunity here.  Save the team, and be a hero.  A rich one.  There will also be more of a cushion to do this over time to “get it right”.

And if you don’t?  That’s easy - Tepper is the problem.  Easy out.

We now have a better chance of getting someone that sees this as an opportunity and wants to make a name for themself, and stuff their pockets.

This may actually come true. Great read. Think I'll go drink now.

I find this scenario highly unlikely.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
