Besides hiring Rhule what has been Tepper's biggest mistake so far?

Prior relationship.

Pittsburgh guys like Ed Bouchette, Gerry Dulac, Mark Karboly and others have been talking about back channel conversations between Tepper and Colbert for years. That's why there was so much speculation that Colbert would eventually become Panthers GM.

At this point, I don't necessarily think he'd be named GM, but an outside consultant type role is very possible.


This is an awful organization…nobody wants to come here.

It has to be keeping Hurndog, right?

Does deciding to buy the team count? I really don’t think Tepper had/has any idea about what it takes to be an owner of a professional sports franchise. He just wanted to be apart of the billionaires club and have the title of wealthiest owner. I mean the guy is clearly an egomaniac.

He probably thought he could just spend money and essentially buy his way into a winning football team. I mean when your that rich you can usually just get what ever you want by just paying for it. He’s definitely not used to being told no it doesn’t work that way and failing. Hence why he hasn’t shown face since everything started going downhill.

At first he was everywhere talking about how he was going to turn this franchise around and how he won’t tolerate a losing culture. His first step into thinking he could buy himself a winning football team was paying the coach he wanted an obscene amount of money, outbidding everyone who was interested, all while stroking his ego. That has backfired in his face so badly that the team is now in worse shape than when he bought it.

So yeah, Tepper deciding to buy the Panthers is definitely #1 in my book.

It really is hard for me to believe he spent this much on a team, had no history of being anywhere but the business side of an NFL team, and didn't overpay for a legit President of Football Operations.

I'm not kidding, that was shocking to me.  Him buying the team was smart, him not handling it properly was stupid.

Have said it before: If you find yourself in position to ask the question "Is this guy really that stupid?", the vast majority of the time the answer is going to be a resounding "yes".

Well, that's because of Tepper and The Horsesh-t Way 😆

If Tepper let's somebody else run the team, that might change.

Whoa now Trigger🐎...

...you have consistently maintained Tepper is not involved in football decisions which fall under the exclusive purview of the "football people"...

...are you saying you have been wrong about this?

Tepper didn't have to be involved in daily operations to turn the team to sh-t.

He did so by hiring a head coach who hadn't even proven capable of beating ranked teams at the college and giving that guy full control while also paying him a ridiculous amount of money.

This was an unforgivably stupid move, and Tepper owns it.

So far, he's shown himself to be a football moron.

So what's your proffered solution?

Have already stated it numerous times.

Tepper needs to...

1) Fire Matt Rhule

2) Turn over the search for the next coach to either Fitterer and Morgan, an outside consultant like Colbert, or a search group, or basically anybody but David Tepper.

3) Realize he doesn't know jack sh-t about building or running a football team and henceforth sit down and shut up

So just move back to Miami and let other people competely run the business you paid for with $2.25B of cash not too long ago?

Absentee ownership if you will?

Well, that'd be better for the team.

I've long thought the same about Mike Jordan...

...never got my way, and you're not gonna get yours.

    • He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence. 
    • This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)
    • I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
