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

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. 

He is the scapegoat for everything because it's the easiest simplest solution to bring everything on one person.  He has made some bad decisions as he's learned and been humbled.   He may continue to, or he may learn from them as he appears to have done so far this season.  The thing he's got going for him is he definitely wants to win.  Sunday people here were saying Tepper is forcing Canales to stick with Bryce and the next day people here say Tepper forced him to bench him.  Tepper isn't the boogeyman so many people are making him.

I would never buy a jersey of a current player because it will definitely curse them.  Also, players change way too frequently to invest in something tied to a current one.  I'd just buy a Cam jersey or something and call it a day.

I enjoy seeing the extremely obscure jerseys of someone’s favorite college player or something.

Tepper’s reputation precedes him now and until things turn around he has to lay in the bed he made.

Same thing happened with Jordan. By the end every misfortune the Hornets faced was being blamed on him directly, though I doubt it was really all him. That’s the price you pay when you put yourself out there as an involved owner from the jump.

If anything the bashing should be why wasn’t he benched last season? 

It goes back to the disfunction inside the building. Everything they did was a disaster in some way or another. The questions are endless and the answers all circle right back to the decision makers. Whatever decision that had a major impact to the future of the team was wrong and ended in disaster.

    • They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.
    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
