I don't like asking the question "Is he really that stupid?"

I've found that all too often, the answer is...disappointing.

I think that correct question is....

Does David Tepper understand the NFL?

So far, he has proven not to understand a single thing about the NFL.

The next question is....

Is David Tepper smart enough to stay out of the way of something in which he knows nothing about?

So far, no.  He has been the root cause for this failure, and will likely continue on his path.

 

 I have zero faith in the man.

Tepper is our last hope, Rhule is clearly delusional.

As one of my bosses used to tell me....

Hope is not a method of completion.

I have lost all hope of this team being well run...can't believe it only took 25 years.

I'm not sure Tepper appreciates how bad Rhule really is.

As Panthers fans that have been here since the team's inception, even our 1-15 season was better than what we're witnessing with Rhule.

At least the 1-15 team was competitive and was in almost every contest until the end.

Rhules teams are often being blown out by the dregs of the NFL.

His analogy is flawed.......

In the NFL the talent and culture you build is predicated on how to accomplish while being exposed to the constant presence of injury of those you are trying to build that culture with.  

As a result, to build success in the NFL means you either do that quickly and/or have the ability to keep replacing the broken pieces without falling down.  

As you are building the house some pieces keep falling off of it at the same time and you constantly need to replace them while you are still trying to build the newer components as well. 

So far from what I've seen out of Rhule he has accomplished nothing that reflects he's addressing this reality.  

I don’t know why we keep hearing about his year 3 college experiences. There is nothing about this roster which suggests that we are in a position to make any kind of major move next season. In college, a decent team can win 7 games a year just by having more talent than their opponents. In the NFL outside of a team or two (both of which were on our schedule in the first three weeks), the winning team wins because they are better schematically or execution wise than the other team. It’s a chess match and Rhule doesn’t appear to have the intelligence or mental acuity to play the game.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
