Thought this was worth it's own thread.

 

Person has a tweet where he asked if Tepper was answering questions:

 

Asked if he was going to do interviews today, Panthers owner David Tepper said with a wry grin: “No, I’m in the background now.”

I think it's honestly big news.  He hired a GM that he believes in (and didn't listen to outside noise).  And then he let that GM bring in his guy.   He brought in another front office exec from a successful team in Brandt Tillis.   Now he says, he's in the background.  It's their show.     

 

Actions speak louder than words but I'm optimistic.

It's crazy how people continue to have hope with this dude.

 

He has shown us 5 years who he is. We are literally just a month removed from him throwing a drink on a fan.

 

So because he says this he has changed?

throwing a drink at a fan was hopefully his low moment that made him realize he needs to back off.

i was who i was for over a decade and it wasn't good. i reached a low point and took another direction in life and now i'm not that same guy i was back then. 

i'm hoping that he understands that now. for the sake of the team, i hope he's learned more of what and who not to be as the owner and he's turning it over to someone else.

He promoted a GM that helped tank the team because he likes him, just like all of the other failures he has personally liked. Sure, believe what you want but it sure looks like he is just learning to make another kind of mess which is absolutely more of the same. Prove it or it's just more of the same.

So far? Nope. Show me a complete house cleaning on the next go round and we can talk actual change. This one is more of a face lift sadly.

I get the pessimistic reaction in here, but this is dealing with people. I think the actions post-Reich have shown Tepper has reflected some. Now, it could be a play and he's not changed at all and he's still the meddling owner that is destroying the franchise, but I am willing to let my optimism win.

Tepper introduced the press conference, introduced the GM and HC and fuged off. Good. Hopefully it is a sign of change. But I'm cautious.

Acknowledging there is a problem is the first step to addressing it.  

AND he acknowledged it publicly to media members.   That's in stark contrast to his previous behaviors.

hopefully the press (and any leaky insiders) will help ensure/confirm that this stays true.

He has to show me. Rooting for the guy to change, but I'm not buying change until he actually shows it.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
