Introductory Press Conference

[d-dave]

Generally, I'm pretty positive about the whole dog and pony show.  Seems like we have some serious football people.  Good.  On the other hand, we have David Tepper.  So I bet if you gave Dan and Dave some time and room, they could probably help the Panthers develop a winner.  How much room will David Tepper give the team to perform?  Or did he freaking learn to let people do their jobs?  Or does he want to pay out more buyouts, and continue to be made fun of around the country.

I'm hoping, but I'm not full in.  I'm positive, looking on the bright side of things until the ugly side comes out in droves.  I'd rather look forward to enjoying the season than hoping to be internet right about the team.

Here's to hope!

Evero is a proven commodity with a track record for making above average defenses that play a lot better than the sum of their parts.  Hes perfect for us right now as we rebuild.  If you had a stacked defensive roster there are other defensive coordinators i would rather have because I personally dont love the scheme and prefer a more aggressive approach, but all that said Evero is a really good coach whos specialty is making chicken salad out of chicken poo.

Can't be aggressive with a mash unit of a defense.

It's called atonement for your sins. It's a Christian thing so not everyone understands that. In his case it is to right wrongs against his wife and help others who are struggling with their own demons.  I admire his courage and commitment to being a better man. 

He who is without sin cast the first stone. 

Totally agree!  Amen!

Half this board was ecstatic at the possibility of trading for Deshaun Watson so maybe everyone should hop off their high horse.

I agree, but i dont believe his scheme is very aggressive in general.  I wasnt just talking about last year.

[bigjohn]

Just my two cents worth about culture.

It can absolutely make a difference in wins and losses. With the same group of talent, great culture versus crap culture can make a difference at ANY level.

If we had a couple of Thomas Davis/Jake Delhomme type of personalities in that locker room along with a coaching staff that set that standard, we would be several wins better immediately. 
 

We would not be championship level due to our lack of talent, but we would certainly be better.

I was the other 50% because I didn't want him. 

Someone prove me wrong because it appears he was still partying his a#$ off and disrespecting his family while he was in Seattle, which was only two years ago.  All of a sudden years of poor decisions just disappears because he wrote a book and found religion?  Actions are more important than words and I need more than 2 years of not being a complete dirt bag to get my support.  Seriously, we can't find someone with a clean personal and professional background to run a multi billion dollar sports franchise.

Snow, I knew I like you. It’s confirmed now.

Another thing not really mentioned is they pretty much made it clear that Evero is staying, they all but said it.

I believe he asked at the very end of the answer if he’s staying. It wasn’t in the microphone, but Canales said yes.

I understand it but I think actions are more important than words and poor decisions have consequences.  This guy shouldn't be the leader of men when he couldn't even lead his own family a couple of years ago,.

Canales is here to win football games, not be a family man.  There is nothing to suggest his personal life has ever made a negative impact on his coaching.

Obviously you don't.  It takes courage to face your demons.  He's man enough to admit his sins publicly.  Who am I to judge this man?
