I have yet to tip my hat to him for a job well done. I agree that many fans wanted those things, but to me...they meant less than zero.

If so, I hope he is more of a killer of the message rather than the messanger. He's thoroughly boofed it since he signed the papers. Shame.

Now do it with Google stock. 2.9B would equal about 8.5B.

Wait...Dave...is that you?

I'm just letting you know that fans are exiting, have been for a while, and unless they start winning, will continue to do so, and should. The only leverage we have is our eyes and our pocketbooks, many have partially shut both, and that will continue. How long has Tepper owned the team again? It sure isn't 1.5 years. Shame, had clean sheet of canvas in front of him when he took over...decided to do a finger painting.

"Focusing on the business side of things first." Not bringing in a seasoned "President of Football Operations" when taking over the team. 2 Carolinas 1 Team Keeping Ron and Hurney when a need for change was as clear as could be. Firing Ron and keeping Hurney. Ron was bad, Hurney is an anchor. "Sports Complex" more important than football. Soccer more important than football. Concerts more important than football. Building a new stadium more important than football. All around, a disgrace so far...and not a shocking one with the way he started out.

I do not share your views on this fanbase. The fans here WILL support the team, and do, until there is reason enough not to. That's where many of us are. Those of us who spend a lot of money at the team store, or who travel to a lot of both home and away games (home game is well over $1,000.00 for me to make the trip), have already stopped spending that money. Next will come the actual games...that's happened to me already. Think it's not happening around BOA on gamedays? Check out the complain threads about visitor team fan invasions. Too bad too, Tepper could have really cemented the fanbase had he done anything correctly after closing on the purchase...instead he has done zero correct, and uncountable things wrongly. He deserves this, the fans do not.

All starts at the very tip top. Since Dave Tepper has purchased this team there has been very little, if any good to come of it. Once again, another example of "just because you are rich doesn't mean you are smart". The fans deserved better. Total disaster from the start.

Same. Haha.

Rhule hasn't bothered me, not great, not bad...but I do wish he had brought in some NFL vet coach to help him out...I blame Tepper for that more than anyone. Tepper has been an outright disaster, IMO...maybe he gets better...maybe not. Fitt...I have zero issues with him so far...he hasn't made any backbreaking moves, and seems to understand what he's doing...something we haven't had in that chair in a LONG time. Fitt get's 2 more years, same as Rhule. If we don't show distinct improvement next offseason, they should both be put on the hot seat for 2023.

Also, this is laughable.

So when did your cackles get turned up to 100? Just asking if you have alway had this disdain, or if something new triggered this?

Where have you been over the last two decades when we have been losing consistently?

I didn't go into this season expecting a winning record...even or slightly below is where I pegged this team...about where they are now. This team has both put dog poo on the field the majority of the last decade, and also made mind numbing FO mistakes to cap it off. At least we cut down on the FO miscues. I don't like where this team is, but when Marty Hurney leaves...usually there are piles and piles of poo that have to be cleaned up...we are doing that now. Next year is the test.

I disagree with this entirely. We are clearing dead cap, cleaning up the books, bringing in guys on trade that can help us now, and in the future, as well as making moves during the draft to get younger, faster, and trying to collect picks to prevent future massive cap issues. We are doing it correctly, and had we landed Matt Stafford or Watson (pre abuse), I believe that every person on this board would be singing a different tune. They are trying, and not doing anything too stupid...that in itself is a breath of fresh air.

The last 3 games have been disappointing, but not shocking...at least not to me. We knew our issues coming into the season...massive O Line problems....mix that with a jumpy INT prone QB, and what we are seeing isn't completely crazy. Since Fitt got here, I have had reason to look up though...we have not committed any MASSIVE mistakes since his arrival...at least FO decisions...that's progress for the Carolina Panthers.

Darnold was an experiment...a gambled 2nd rounder on a QB that has upside. Was always going to be a longshot, and still is...but better to know you made a mistake with Teddy and move on...he wasn't going to be the guy. Looks like Sam may not either, but if they are being honest and treating him like a rookie....well...what we are seeing is pretty close to rook QB play in the NFL. As I have stated for months now, Sam was never thought of as "the guy", he was looked at as "possibly the guy"....they still want a top flight QB here, and unless I'm pretty mistaken, we will go after another one hard once again during the offseason. Rodgers, Watson, Wilson...not saying we get them, but I'd bet a LOT that we will try like hell.

Ron is bad, Marty is worse.

Drafting him wasi fine, and I approve of it...paying him early is dumb, especially for the position.

It was stupid to extend him until after his 4th season...that's what we should have done...Marty didn't.

Do you understand how the contracts work for 1st round players?

Probably why it's a 23' pick vs. a 22.

There have been many parting gifts left by Hurney on both of his departures....this is yet another.

Would be a lot smarter to do a severance, mutually agreed upon.... But neither Urban nor Khan are smart...so, you are likely correct. There will be lawyers.

See ya Urban, we hardly knew ye.... That last bit from the Players is brutal, not really possible to come back from that...can't threaten a scholarship in the pros. If I'm them, I'm looking for a Stefanski clone or something.
