Also, I need to issue an apology to former UNC DB coach (and former great UNC CB) Dre Bly. I thought he was the issue with our secondary. He clearly wasn't.

Yeah, Chizik out as DC at UNC. Let's see who the replacement is.

https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/receiving#avgYAC Deebo is #1 in the league in YAC per reception. Kittle is #4. It looks like they don't include RBs in the numbers but you can guarantee CMC is right there too.

Watch the games. Every QB in the modern NFL gets a ton of YAC yards as screens have largely replaced a lot of the outside running game. Where Purdy gets significantly more yardage than other QBs is on the intermediate routes. Shanahan does a great job of scheming up crossing routes that create opportunities for YAC. His scheme is brilliant. I don't see any other offense getting the type of YAC that SF does on their passing beyond the LOS.

Yep. YAC kings. Brock Purdy is who he is in large part because of the best YAC duo in the NFL in CMC and Deebo. Little is one of the best YAC TEs too. Bryce is the opposite of what Tepper and company thought. He's not a guy who lifts his weapons up. He's a guy who has to be carried by his weapons. That's fine if your QB was a late round draft pick but it's a huge blunder when you traded up to #1 overall for him.

This is a point I've been making for awhile. Tepper has to come to grips with the reality that David Tepper the owner would've fired David Tepper the President of Football Operations several times by now. He has to essentially fire himself from his current role and carve out a new role for himself within the organization, one where his influence is minimal on the football side of the house.

And to think, before Tepper bought the team we were actually closing in on .500

Tepper is a classless piece is poo and so are his defenders. So...

Could be a possibility. They wouldn't have to fall far back, that's for sure.

If they draft Harrison Jr. #1 overall they're dumb as hell. If they're not taking a QB they need to put that pick on the auction block.

I'd be shocked. I just can't see Tepper giving up on his super processing PG so quickly but it would be an encouraging sign. It'd suck for Fields though. Bears to the Panthers. That's jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. The dumpster fire that is.

He has a disappointing second year. Other than that he's been damn good. I hope were saying the same about Icky in a couple years.

Pay Brown, tag and trade Burns. No, you're not gonna get anywhere close to what the Rams offered for him. That shop has sailed. But he's not the type of defender you can pay like he's one of the best defenders in the NFL, because he's just not. He's never taken that next step to become consistent and put the same effort in on running downs. If you wanna be paid like you're elite be elite.

Not familiar with him but it'd be hard to do worse than David Tepper.

Nah, I think he's a very good WR prospect but no I don't think he's a generational talent. I mean, I'd take a guy like Odunze and a haul of other assets for that #1 overall pick all day everyday over Harrison Jr.

I feel like someone should write a high profile article outlining how Tepper can't move the Panthers and get some traction going on it. Tepper's the kind of guy who'd look to move the team just out of spite to show that he can. Modern problems require modern solutions. He can take his fuging kickball team and bro country concerts with him.

Statement from Tepper: “I am deeply passionate about this team and regret my behavior on Sunday. I should have let NFL stadium security handle any issues that arose. I respect the NFL’s code of conduct and accept the League’s discipline for my behavior.” What an incredible piece of fuging poo. It's that fans fault I lost my composure and lashed out like a child. I shouldn't have done that, I should've just had security toss his ass because I'm a billionaire and I get what I want... which is also the reason why I feel entitled to act like a spoiled fuging child.

Moving the Panthers to Rawlee is an all-time poo take.

It's not about the money when you have his wealth. It's about "winning" and forcing your will. Lack of winning on the field probably leaves him even more in need of getting his winning fix off the field.

When I found out he was wealthy enough to buy an NFL team.

I mean... you're not wrong

Tepper definitely wants a new stadium and he definitely expects a huge chunk of the money to come from the city of Charlotte and not his own very ample pockets. Every financial study that has ever looked into it has found that public investments into professional sports stadiums provides horrendous dollar ROI. With Tepper being wildly unpopular and Panthers fandom at it's lowest I can't see handing him a bag being politically expedient.

It seems like there's two requirements to keeping a job with Tepper. 1. A healthy dose of "Yessir, Mr. Tepper! Brilliant idea sir!" 2. Stand there like an idiot when he's assaulting rival fans and act like it's not happening.

I just don't think anyone really cares about the GM position because most of us think that it's David Tepper calling the shots whenever he wants to call them. So it really doesn't matter who has the role in title. You're a glorified secretary when David Tepper has an opinion.

Stop. Nobody cares about who's doing the paper pushing. We're talking about the roster and all that entails. Drafting, signing free agents, re-signing our own players, building a scouting team and front office. That's the only thing fans care about regarding the GM and I seriously question how much influence anyone not carrying the Tepper last name has on the major decisions.
