David Tepper: "Sometimes you have to tear things down to build them up"

[klumme]

Great Tepper...

 

But if you feel the need to tear the whole poo down.. Please do not let the same clown build the new house as the one you just teared down.

If we trade Newton and blame it on the "start over from scratch" then you better now have Hurney on the payrole.

[Zithers2]

the article where tepper talks about 'i hear this team has an owner with some resources' is one of the worst, most cringe worthy things i've ever read when it comes to football. spending money on a fuging sports science facility and new team headquarters (except those are actually taxpayer dollars lol) doesn't mean poo if you have a GM who sucks and hire a college coach who can't even win a conference championship and has no specialty on either side of the ball.

are people really buying into this poo? seriously?

[TheRed]

How exactly are we building for the future by tying up well over 100 million dollars in two linebackers? Now remove your dynamic starting quarterback from the equation.

[Shufdog]

Seems like just a couple of weeks ago the majority here wanted this whole thing blown up? Now that it appears it might just be happening, people seem to be backing down from that notion.

This has absolutely 0 to do with Cam newton this is a reach. Lol infact the article over he mentions getting to know the MVP qb by name and that being a part of the process. This is fake news.

Remember when Chip Kelly tried to do the Sports Science thing?

Pederson got rid of it and then they won a Super Bowl

Quote

 

"A lot of that stuff has been cut way back," Pederson told reporters during the Eagles mini-camp. "I think it was introduced, and now, great, it was introduced. Now let's pull back on it.

Kelly and his staff implemented a number of changes to the Eagles training regimen, including players wearing GPS systems to track their conditioning, acceleration, fatigue and stress while also giving coaches information to determine when athletes are physically ready to handle more training.

Kelly also used an unusual practice schedule, such as practicing on Tuesdays, traditionally a day off. He reportedly had players wear monitors while sleeping. Kelly's methods left some players unhappy and reportedly created a rift in the locker room.

I hope that quote means trading kuechly while he has some value left.

The team should be closer to moving on from Kuechly than Newton.

if you're going to blow it up, you blow it all up.

you keep cmc while he is on his rookie deal and part ways when he's a free agent.

Why though?

CMC just makes sure you win a few games you're not trying to win, and kills your ability to draft high enough for Lawrence or Fields.  By the time you're in contention CMC is ancient in RB years and breaking down, and he's only hurt your draft position.

If you're going to be bad, you might as well go full Hinkie 76ers.

If we're truly tearing it down, I would trade everyone including CMC for draft picks and aim for 0-16.

Will hate the Panthers and never fug with the NFL again if Cam leaves .. keep in mind I was a die hard Panthers fan before Cam.

[Wes21]

I believe that sometimes you have to cut ties with some bad contracts, and that can set you back a year or so.  But that's about it.  The rest of the old school way of "a long, full scale rebuild" is fools gold and outdated in today's NFL (salary cap era).  The truth is that the expectation should be to start winning by the end of the 2nd season and no later than the 3rd.  For teams who had losing seasons the first 2 years of a coaches tenure, very few were rewarded by giving him a 3rd season (Vermiel, Shanahan, Rivera come to mind).  Of those few that were losing in the 3rd season, pretty much no team was rewarded for giving the coach a 4th year.

[Smithers]

New coach, new start.  Wouldn’t shock me at all if Cam is traded and the new coach gets to start with his new QB, similar to Arizona.

But you want fans in the stands, right? What are you gonna do? Sell tickets to draft day every year?

i agree with that somewhat.

I don't think you can go full 76ers hinke in the nfl. sure 0-16 gets you trevor lawrence, but it gets you absolutely no crowds at the stadium and it kills all of the panthers marketing and ad partnerships.

the nba pretty much forced out hinke for ruining their image, even though he had the right idea. the nfl owners are even more protective of their on field product.
