I don’t understand the the hate on Tepper for Bryce getting benched

Bryce should never have been starting. He has one half of football that looks pro level in 18 games. Tepper has been heavily involved in operating a business He knows nothing about. I don't care if Tepper benched him. Tepper drafted and started him when it's clear to anyone who watched last season and 2 games of this that BY has never been a starting caliber QB in the NFL.

Pretty sure Reich, Josh McCown, and Deuce Staley were fired by Tepper because they wanted to bench Bryce last year.  

So the hate on him is that he is doing it too late? Well I agree, but the man has to learn sometime. We’re stuck with him. The whole point of my post is maybe, finally, he’s becoming humbled and that might bode well for our future.

He deserves some blame but I'm still not 100% clear on what's going on behind the closed doors. Someone posted a video that had people breaking down DC's presser and there were some nuggets in there. 

We have to wait and see. But fug Tepper anyways. If the crowd wasn't chanting 'sell the team' would Young have been sat after game 2? IDK and I don't think it can be proved one way or the other yet. Given the history a lot of people have trust issues with him and his people which is fair. I'm just not going to go rabid because it's not fun and I am happy to see watchable Panther football even if it only last 1 quarter.

Big brain Tepper can tell you that he is right all the time and will tell you why that is....................and that he is never wrong and can tell you why......

...and because he has 20 billion more than most people do is because he is right and never wrong.

........and that is who you have running the whole organization..........so good luck Panther fans!!!

Look guys, I’m as big of a Tepper hater as you can find in the Panthers faithful. But the hate is truly getting out of control if he’s now being blamed for benching Bryce. To me it’s actually showing the accountability that Bryce was a mistake. Now of course Tepper is 100% the source of all these issues and we can bash him until the Earth spins into the sun, but bashing him for Bryce getting benched is just insane. It was the right move. 

Moving forward he can do a better job by not schmoozing with the potential draft picks and influencing his staff with who to pick. I’m not hopeful for the future at all but at the very least he’s been humbled by the past 6 years and maybe that will benefit us in the long term. That’s the only optimism I’ve got right now. 

We aren't mad at Tapper for benching Bryce, we are mad at Tepper for forcing his views on our front office to draft Bryce and then forcing Reich to keep Bryce out there last year when the dude clearly wasn't ready (and frankly never will be).

I don’t think he is for benching Bryce in a vaccum 

the benching simply brings to the front the fact David Tepper is still running all the big decisions. Tepper benched Bryce.   And more importantly, it shows the plan coming to this season….big picture, was all trash.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
