  1. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and give David Tepper some kudos for what appears to be the Panthers doing their due diligence on this coaching search. Might be totally misreading the tea leaves here, but this search seems to be more deliberate and thorough than David Tepper's first attempt w/Rhule. TL/DR: No need to rush
  2. Philly's coach is in year two. If that's purgatory sign the Panthers up!
  3. Jeff Bezos will sell the Washington Post and buy the Commanders.
  4. Wherever David Tepper is right now, watching this game, he can't help but be thinking about what might have been, after having interviewed Mike McCarthy and Matt Rhule for HC and ultimately choosing the wrong guy.
  5. Giants and Jaguars overachieved with their first year coaches. Both teams were trash last year. Panthers fans would be stoked if our new coach could accomplish as much this coming season.
  6. Wonder if Rhule is pondering tonight how a second year Eagles HC and a Rookie Giants HC have managed to accomplish so much in so little time? Rhule: Less than seven years? These two coaches are doing the impossible!
  7. While watching the Broncos melt down after every loss is priceless, at some point I'd like to see a team other than KC win the AFCW. Sean Peyton would make the Broncos immediately competitive. Competitive divisional rivalries are what make the games entertaining. Right now the AFCW is rather boring.
  8. Mark Davis should be kicking himself about now for letting Bisaccia go and hiring (a now) two time loser.
  9. While we may have our preconceived notions about Mrs. Tepper, truth is she could be more, or less, or equally competent to Mr. Tepper when it comes to judging coaching candidates. All we have to go by is the Matt Rhule hire. Yikes! There is little reason to believe either of them are actually qualified to judge these candidates, but then again, how many owners really are? IMHO, the best hiring process in Panthers history was prior to the team's first season, when JR (himself a former NFL player) brought in a highly respected group of executives (with a proven history of winning at the NFL level) to build the organization from the ground up. The Panthers had an impressive record out of the gate and year two was even better with a NFC Conference Championship appearance. Unfortunately, it all went to JR's head and he started to meddle. Nepotism reared its ugly head and much of the support staff that built the team moved on, leaving Capers to run the show (with his new ten year contract). It wasn't long after that till the wheels started coming off. One would only hope that Dave and Nicole Tepper are aware of the team's history and learn from it.
  10. Our hold on life is extremely tenuous. I've lost count of the number of times I passed within a few feet or a even a few inches of unintentionally cutting my life short. I'm more cautious these days as a survivor and I'd like to think that'll serve me well, but sometimes, you just don't see it coming. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP
  11. The irony here is that for the last several years, Russell Wilson has been demanding more say when it comes to scheme selection, personnel choices and coaching staff decisions. Of all the coaches the Broncos could hire, Sean Payton is the least likely of all of them to welcome Russell's input.
  12. Tepper's response was once considered an act of common decency in this country. It appears, for a few posters here, decency isn't as common as it once was.
  13. Nicole Tepper is most likely first in line to own/control the Panthers in the event that David Tepper is unable to do so. We have a real world example: Paul Allen, owner of the Seahawks, passed away a few years ago resulting in his sister, Jody Allen, acquiring ownership/control of the team. All things considered, she's done an outstanding job.
  14. This. Fangio as DC and one of these highly touted OCs as our new HC would follow the LA Rams approach which seemed to work out rather well.
  15. David Tepper: Beg to differ Commissioner, Mrs. Tepper is a well known expert. Have you tried her meatballs?
  16. Certainly a point worth taking into consideration.
  17. Meh, Sean Payton took the Saints from perpetual basement dwellers to frequent Super Bowl contenders. We all know Tepper desperately needs someone just like Payton with the knowledge and experience to rapidly turn this team around. Unfortunately, SP is the only coach that meets the requirements that is currently available for hire.
  18. This, but only if the team is well constructed and well coached. Simple to say, but hard to do. The ball is in Tepper's court, don't mess it up (again) big guy.
  19. I don't believe the 49ers are ready to give up on Lance, but if they do that should be a big red flag to other teams. Especially considering the number of high draft picks (3) San Francisco gave up to get him. Also, Lance isn't likely to find a better situation to develop his game than he has with the 49ers. If he can't make it there, chances are he can't make it anywhere.
  20. I doubt Stroud is sad about having options. I think we'll see more and more of these potential draft candidates elect to stay a year or two longer in school. Some of these NIL deals can be rather lucrative from what I hear.
  21. That recruit in Chandler AZ needs to get some B.S. repellent ASAP.
