I appreciate Tepper for wanting to win. He has actually taken a step back. He has. Don't you at least want to give him credit for that?

Now, I didn't hear the "basement dwellers" comment, but he's human. Billionaires, just by their very experience (whether self-made or given everything in a silver spoon), are going to have a degree of "assholeness," especially if you rub them the wrong way. In my opinion, Tepper is kind of benign.

When you have so much success, sometimes you just have to get out of your own way, and that's hard. There's a balance between knowing when to step in, and when to sit back and listen. I think that he's learning that. 

i just wish that he wasn't so damned cheap with the field. What's that all about? The only thing that I can come up with is that he's a cheap ass motherfu<ker--a billionaire that may as well put turf around his mansion, fake plants and plastic flowers, just to get out of paying for lawn care.

What the fug are you talking about? Yeah we weren’t a prestigious organization or anything but year after year for 20 years, outside of two seasons, we had a competitive team and were worth watching. Say what you want about JRich but we were far from a joke under his watch. 

And how many back to back winning seasons did we have? What was the teams lifetime winning percentage? I’d wager around .500 at best.


I will love the Panthers forever no matter what but that is literally the definition of mediocrity bud.

I think what he is saying is that we went from mediocre to joke status--a virtual bottom feeder. Sure, we've never been a top tier team on a consistent basis, but we went to the Bowl twice (under JR). Tepper made some bad decisions, but, perhaps unlike others, I absolutely know that it takes time to figure things out, and it has to be super difficult to be a "boss" in one business, and then going through the process and realizing that you are a virtual greenhorn in another. 

At least we seem to be headed in the right direction. We'll see come this fall.

Exactly. And I hope we are headed in the right direction and Tepper seems to be less hands-on and in your face but I don’t work for the organization so I wouldn’t know. I just hate this recency bias of some glory years that never existed. Yes we suck now. But we have always sucked.

Yeah but we weren't punchline of a joke bad like the Browns/Bungles/etc. Now we are. It's likely we will remain the worst NFL franchise for the foreseeable future.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
