1.Buying the Panthers.

Everything else is downhill of that tragic decision.

Ehhh as far as monetary value it's been a great investment for him.   

 

But yeah he sucks I'm trying to decide on who I'm bandwagoning....  I kinda like both the lions and Ravens and some low key love for the bills

Not using the 8th overall pick for a backup caliber QB is one of the few things that this organization has done right in the last 6 years.

Incorrect. In my thesis on David Tepper I will elaborate on this further. 

If we draft Fields that year there is no reason to give up capital for Sam Darnold (2,4,6) and no reason to trade a future third for matt corral the next year. 

So we could have had Fields + a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th round pick. And yet we wonder why this team has no depth. 

Further and most importantly....there would have been no sense in trading up for bryce. We would have been entering year 3 with fields. If he had sucked the year prior we would have had a top 3 pick. If he had been decent with Steve Wilks we likely make the playoffs or come close but either way we do not trade up. 

If he sucked last year then we would have ended up with Williams, Daniels or Maye. 

By passing on Fields when he fell to us we ultimately doomed ourselves for the future.

This. Releasing Cam and signing Teddy was the dumb part of it. Releasing Cam, sure, fine, his shoulder was busted as sad as it was to see. If you were going to release Cam, It would have been an obvious tank but just play Kyle Allen at QB that year and you setup to draft Lawrence. Signing Teddy and trying to win was the blunder. 

exactly. It was the first of many tepper moves of deleting something but instead of just embracing the tank giving up resources to patch work the hole he just made. This has been continued ad nauseum since that year.

Tepper is like a degenerate gambler. He goes to Vegas with 100 dollars in his pocket. Instead of picking and choosing his spots he goes to the roulette table and immediatley puts 100 on a specific number. This of course doesn't work. Now he sees all his buddies having a great time so he goes and pulls another 100 out. This time however he puts it all on red to get back in on the action and loses again. 

So he goes back and pulls out another 100...

He is not the 1st bad owner in the league. I think he is too dumb to know that he doesn't know. He said on the All In documentary that the league is set up for everyone to be .500, and it is all the other things that make the difference between being a winner and loser.

So when you really parse that down, he believes that the team could be 1 player away, 1 coach away, and that, more than anything is why this team has no direction, has no identity, has no core, has no face of the franchise, and has no hope of success.

Bust Young was going to be the type of qb, with the way he throws the ball, that we wouldn't have to go out and spend resources on good wrs. We are always just 1 player away. I really think that he completely bought into Rhule's nonsense about being really really really close every week, until it became obvious it wasn't working.

I might simplify that to 'stuck his nose into coaching/gm business'. That was the first big one I think. 

And some of our fans want to keep making the mistake. I remember seeing posts a month ago stating posters didn't care if Tepper is the one that pulled Young. Frustrating we still have fellow fans in favor of that behavior when it is that type of behavior that keeps good football people from coming. Which is the only way to turn it around, not # of draft picks and FA's.

It's over for the foreseeable future just to many other well run clubs.

Gave up on Cam too early.

That was a dilemma. He wasn't right, as I remember, and was up for an extension. He didn't seem to want to concede any market... uh considerations.. or his team didn't, which makes it difficult, until you know you are getting the full Cam Newton. Shake and pour. 

 

edit Deltek, that could have been me too lol. i just wanted that to stop.

Neither of those things you said are accurate.  They signed teddy before getting rid of Cam. It was a dumb plan but it was one. And ole Rockstar goober from the giants had been an oc before. 

The one year we hired Mcadoodle Rhule was a lame duck so yea count that if you want to. 
 

And no Teddy Bridgewater is not a succession plan. Not even bridge QB worthy despite his name.

If he wasn’t offered at least what they gave Bridgewater they fugged up. Even if he really was toast I would have taken zombie Cam over the rotating circus we’ve had since, and frankly he had earned the benefit of doubt.

Yeah. I don’t know what was going with that. I just remember it was when the QB salary numbers were really heading north big time.

I seem to remember him having 20million or 18 or something for the last year on his deal and thinking it would take closer to 30 to get their attention.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
