Jerry Richardson knew you didn't have to win it all, just some.

Here we stand at a point in Panthers history which seems a bit bleak. Two years of failure backed by a former coach who was on his ride out of the stadium. What JR really understood about fans and putting butts in seats and it was this. You didn't have to win every year you just had to win enough to keep people coming back. That's why when faced with coaching choices he picked the middle of the road coach. Someone who was going to give him a consistent 6 to 9 wins every year. 

Fast forward to now. We have a owner who is more worried in my opinion in winning a championship than putting butts in seats. Tepper has more money than most of the NFL combined and his goal is to win. This leads a owner to sometimes do drastic things. Hurney sold him on Rhule being the best and Joe Brady being the best. Hurney has always loved college coaches and this showed fully with this head coaching pick. Tepper took the leap and now we are back at square one. Joe Brady is gone and Rhule will now have a full college staff steering this team into oblivion. The good news now folks is Tepper has learned. Hopefully he and Fitters will search out a true NFL head coach and we will truly start a successful rebuild.

Neither does David Tepper.

The one hope that I have with Tepper is that he at least might be willing to let the people he hires do their jobs.

Richardson never would.

 

Richardson knew a lot more about it than Tepper did, that is a stone cold fact.

Not enough.

The Panthers finished exactly 500 under Richardson. What ultimately happens under Tepper remains to be seen because we're still only a few years.

Panthers went to the NFC championship in Richardson’s second season as an owner and a Super Bowl within moments of a championship in 9 seasons. Go ahead and sneeze at the past regime all you want but right now this owner has turned this team into a miserable dumpster fire. At least under Richardson there were gasps of relevancy.

almost 25 years vs 3 years is literally impossible to compare

it’s true JR never cared about consistency, but consistency is also something that is much harder to build/do

only a few franchises can say they win regularly every season

gonna have to just wait this out…if it takes Tepper half a decade to establish at least a decade of back to back winning, all is good

Tepper appears to be learning from his mistakes at least and JR didn’t GOF and by modern standards wasn’t the brightest bulb

None that ever lasted.

If it takes Tepper longer to get to a winning team, but he does so consistently, he'll surpass Richardson.

Keep in mind I say all this as somebody who doesn't have much faith in David Tepper.

Richardson had 2 teams in the Super Bowl.

The 15-1 Panthers weren't a championship team?

They just ran into a buzz saw that beat up the GOAT 2 weeks before.

True. Tepper has done more to improve the front office in 3 years than Richardson did in the 20+ years of his ownership. Just hasn’t translated to the field just yet.

It never lasted but at least it happened. Right now I have no faith in this ownership even putting together a playoff team. This is going to be 3 straight years with 5 wins. Yes I’m pretty sure this team doesn’t win another game.

It's valid that we face some bad teams, and anything can happen, but I don't have any faith that we win another game either.

And as mentioned, I don't have any faith in David Tepper. But in the case of the very specific condition that he defers to guys like Fitterer and Morgan, I do have hope.

Richardson - more than happy and willing to go 7-9 and 8-8 every year. Make sure we are accommodating to drunken moron visiting fans and PSL owners who pull for the Pats or Steelers on Sunday. Also need to make sure the NDA slush fund is full so he can buy his way out of racist and sexual misconduct. 
 

Tepper has a long way to go before he is even close to Jean Friday Jerry.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
