Progress towards what? Being competitive against first stringers in real games?

This is our super bowl

Morgan was on board against the trade as well

I mean if we are perfectly honest neither are or were qualified to be a GM. 

Unless you ask Mr. Scot who literally believes teams were fighting over Fit for some reason.

The western world is full of people that would follow a loud extrovert off a cliff before following a confident introvert that weighs things out.

It’s sad.

Some of the best leaders of our time were quiet but strong leaders by example. High ranking military, doctors, scientists, inventors, and musicians are vastly dominated by these types. And presidents like Lincoln.

It really makes no difference and isn’t an indicator of anything but damn does western culture love their loud mouths.

the NFL didn't even have to "force JR out." JR was probably the one who suggested the idea of him selling quickly and quietly to the league. dude only gave a poo about the league and not the team. don't get me wrong I'd gladly take him back over Tepper, but JR was pretty damn bad too. if JR had any interest in remaining owner he easily could've done so. But he knew it wouldn't be good for the league so he sold. Snyder had been fighting the rest of the owners for like a decade plus. JR would never put up any fight with the league even though he did significantly less bad things than Snyder.

Due to NDA’s we have no clue how bad it got with JR. But the fact people think it wasn’t bad just proves how NDAs work for rich people it’s disgusting. But hopefully logical people can assume that after millions of dollars in payoffs and several NDAs…it was actually a lot worse than what we will ever know.

Fug Em!

 

Lil bastard was milking injuries most of his time here. The moment he leaves he's all of a sudden a workhorse RB and a MVP candidate.

 

*Poo me up I'm a big boy I can handle it.

You’re the type that says fug Cam who wanted franchise money when he was cooked and played himself or because he didn’t fall on a fumble.

It’s easy to say Young wont work out, most QBs don’t. Even top picks. It’ll be easy to say you were right if he fails. Much bolder to say he will be a starter with a better situation which is more important that Young himself.

For me , I don’t really care all that much. It’s be great if he does work out but believe it or not, this franchise has much larger issues. 

Will this FO get its head out its ass? That’s a much more important question for this team moving forward imo…and in relation to the QB, whoever that may be, is very important.

id rather the Canales and Morgan work out than Young

what abt ian thomas

he’s an intelligent guy and it’s no wonder he’s been great in his roles thus far

he still comes off very new and fresh to me, which is to be expected and can be a good thing, but with that (really like any newly promoted or new manager etc) I hope he doesn’t get in his head too much, start to overthink things and focus too much on details

it just kind of muddies everything, but time will tell and he seems like a quick learner and will adapt…something we as panthers fans are not used to at all

I’m very skeptical but as far as excitement, it’s for sure higher than Reich or that other guy

I don’t think Tepper meant anything malicious with the interaction. He’s a billionaire who is very forthcoming in his social moments,

Doesn’t make it ok. I know rich people live on this planet where different rules apply to them but you don’t invade a strangers personal space like that. Would you walk up to someone and remove their hat?

No, not malicious but he should be corrected.

Either he is or he isn’t but I think the worst thing that can’t happen is he is mediocre imo

6-8…maybe even 9 wins depending will hurt this team more than anything

especially with Tepper as owner

Fantastic application of a strawman argument right here.

That was really just a light hearted joke, with some truth in it at the same time

I’m not arguing on the internet with anyone lol I’ve stated my 2 cents that’s all there is for me

but you may need to take a break, it’s not that serious

Did we not critique the play calling in here? It was awful. This was the worst offense we’ve ever had. Everyone was criticizing our shitty offense. I’m glad he at least acted quickly. We needed a new coach and GM. I’m still not happy with the GM choice as there’s been nothing good in house from 2018 to 2023.

If I had to choose between a random huddler and Tepper to call plays for my make believe team it wouldn’t be Tepper, just sayin

OP's title is not accurate to the report. 

SIFTS through data is verry different than CALLING plays.. SMH

And he is using the data to critique play calling. 
 

Are we still defending Tepper. You know damn well he meddles. Good lord.

I think as an owner he is allowed to critique and get explanations for play calling post-game.  If anything, I'm glad he is interested in learning more about the game.  I'm sure most if not all owners do this.  

Thats not how people like Tepper operate. Hopefully that is obvious to you seeing the past 5 years. He’s the type to learn a little or some, but not a lifetime worth and then thinks he knows more than the lifetime guy and starts ‘critiquing’. The only thing he should be doing is focused on results but then he’d have to consider firing himself so…but I would NOT want him thinking he has clue clue and instead surround himself with people who do.

Very excited about this and this came from a doubter the first 1.75 seasons. Bro proved me wrong. Beast.

Which is why they offer free money. They're counting on you pissing it away on a hopeless longshot. 

They're not paying for all that marketing and all those casinos from paying out winnings. 

Nah it’s a ‘bonus’. All casinos have crazy bonuses. 

My guess is he didn’t read the terms. Probably a stupid rollover where he’ll need to spend 500x what he wins to ever cash out lol

Or did read them and didn’t care. I guess it is just a bunch play money for entertainment I guess.

There are a lot of examples from players coming from college  basketball to the NFL. Though it’s not lineman. But it’s possible. 

I think y'all are hyping this a bit much. Ravens had 5 pro bowlers on defense ? And Clowney wasn’t one. He was aloud to feast with that line and a scheme that put him all over because the other team was worried about everyone else.

Meanwhile here in Carolina he is most certainly going to have attention and be doubled up on.

Only plus is the money, he’d have to be very bad if he can’t earn 10 mil. This team still needs a dominant rusher go with the likes of Clowney/Browb to be in contention imo.

Multiple first round picks??? 8 game suspension!!??? JAIL!!!!!????

lol wtf literally NONE of that is going to happen.

Real grass is easily possible. How do people look around at what’s been done all over the world and even how the stadium had it before and be like it’s just not possible anymore lol.

It will cost more. Millions a year more. But it is easily possible. It’s money. That’s the single, only reason to not choose it over turf as a whole.

I know as fans our expectations on the field are a little high for Shaq, but you can't hate on his commitment to the team.  With everything we have been through, that dude strikes me as the one guy who actually is loyal to this franchise.  Probably to his own detriment.  Keep Pounding Shaq!

With the money Hurney gave him what else is he going to do lol

This team had no identity and every player is replaceable. Dan Morgan is doing an actual rebuild. Let him cook before you crucify him.

As of now I agree. They really want to tap into what Young may have, which they could never do with the state of things. Could be nothing. But it’s really the only option with the investment made.

If he shines, you splurge on defense. If not, enough time has passed where they’re actually in a position to try again. They’re not in a position to try again right now, people really need to accept this.

You don’t just simply instantly bounce back from the likes of Rhule, Reich and most of all Fitterer. What reality does that happen?

I could fully support this offseason shift....minus the OG and keeping Ian Thomas.

Just....be bad. Accumulate draft picks, get talent for the next 4-5 offseasons and slowly build towards being a sustainable team.

Or....we could just gut our core and still spend wildly in free agency at the same time. I mean...why not? fug it. Let's package our two seconds to move up to 21st and take a future bust. Why not?

I think they are actually wanting to be bad. Just in a different way. They want to give Young support to develop while the defense will suffer. They’re not expecting to win but to keep Young healthy and see what he has.

And considering the investment I think it’s a reasonable move.

Especially considering they’re digging out of a huge hole left but idiot moves.

Trade everyone for picks, start over completely. 

That’s ridiculous

gotta keep Brown 

Some of you still haven’t accepted the Teppers are doing with the franchise what kids do with doll houses and legos. This is their toy. To distract them from boredom. A brief talking point at dinner. They’re beyond rich and have zero worries in the world. 

They are just tinkering around. They have no ties or personal reasons to care about Charlotte or success. This team is at most just a stream of revenue but it doesn’t even need to be that in the slightest.

The Panthers don’t have a chance to win anything until a new owner takes over.
