Did Tepper ‘meddle’ this past offseason?!?

He meddles in the sense that he signs off on the HC & GM Hires, and also has input on the QB situation more than we'd probably like. I'm not sure how much deeper he can go than that but all of the decisions so far in those 3 areas have been catastrophic failures.

He didn't sign off on the HC and GM hires, he INTERVIEWED them.

I know everyone is pissed at this guy, we’re about to go 8 seasons without playoffs or semblance of hope

 

it was painfully obvious last offseason he pushed for the #1 pick with a lopsided trade then compounded that error by in essence forcing Gerber to be the #1 pick.

 

 But this offseason, I haven’t heard much rumblings about him. So while the team is in total disarray is there a possibility he has learned from his major F up that football isn’t stocks and you can’t pick winners from charts and analytics and this is the first offseason he allowed football guys (Morgan) to do football things

Nope, he's just who everyone wants to blame because it's the simplest and easiest boogie man to point at.  His mistake was promoting Dan Morgan but I think that was an attempt at fan service "keep pounding" era.

ripple effect from previous years.

that's why i say no matter what happens, keep bryce in there all year. if BY continues to be this bad, tepper just needs to have it driven into that thick skull of his how this was his fault and he needs to keep out of it next time.

Tepper has been a terrible owner, but anyone thinking the owner wouldn’t be part of hiring a new GM and HC is delusional.

Not giving Bryce a chance to prove himself in year two would be crazy (even if you know he’s not the guy, which most of us know).

All of this is a carryover from previous years, and Tepper was a big part of that, but Fitterer is one of the worst GMs of all time, close to every move he made the last few years was a disaster, it would be hard to do that bad even if you tried.

I obviously don’t know how things will turn out, but I don’t see much to disagree with in regards to the last offseason and draft this year, but maybe I’m the only one.

I don't have a big problem with much of it. I understood what they were thinking, like why they did or did not in a couple of cases. Right or wrong, you have to wait on. 

A single pick won't really upset me anyway. I don't fall in love with college prospects, and only really get upset when they trade future assets like Hurney did too much of and the insane deal with the Bears. That, crosses the line for me past just the normal risk.

I just want to say that Matt Rhule really came across as kind of like a scam artist motivational speaker type, especially when he looked at his presentations when those got leaked after he was fired.

Dave Canales absolutely has that kinda evangelical scam pastor energy going on, and I'm not saying religion is a scam or whatever just that there are definitely people in that sphere who are charismatic and take advantage of people that are susceptible to it.

Tepper definitely has a type.

He didn’t need to meddle this year.

Years of bad decisions have added up to what we witnessed yesterday.

 

 

This ^ 💯 this is the chickens coming home to roost after years of bad decisions and roster mismanagement. We have no choice but be patient because this won’t be fixed overnight.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Bears at Panthers week 1

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
