Just feels like this every day now, ever since Tepper took over.

I have to admit to myself that I haven't been very happy with much of anything since he took over. Firing Hurney (a year too late) was a positive but most everything else seems like it's been a step down from everything previous. Hell, even the coach is a step down from the previous coach even though I was not a huge fan of the previous coach at the end of his tenure but somehow Tepper found a way to find someone a huge step down from Rivera.

I didn't expect him to be some lovable billionaire that would embrace the QC and team, but man, it feels like every move he's made has been the wrong one.  Hurney, Rivera, Cam, Rhule, QBs, the whole coaching search in general, the whole in-game experience side, strange stadium renovations, organizational moves.  

It has never felt like there was a strong framework put in place to execute when he got here and has just been winging it because it's his team and his prerogative.  It's a very cold place inside this fandome.

Tepper has made it abundantly clear that he is clueless.

I remember him telling us that what he cared about most was winning.

Practice has told us that what he cares about most is his ego.

Yep. This 100%. The only reason he actually cares about losing is said ego.

Yet his ego wouldn't let him fire Rhule after signing him to that foolish contract.

I think it was his ego that hired Rhule in the first place.

He had to make a big splashy move and do something different than everyone else was doing just to draw attention to himself. That way when he succeeded where others had failed, he could thump his chest and point to how great he was.

Except he didn't...because he isn't.

He may, in fact, be one of the dumbest owners in the league.

I've said before that Tepper is used to just being able to "big ball" his way through everything. He probably thought he could do that in the NFL too.

Not going that well so far...

      After Day three.... New draft strategy?

      By Murph · Posted

      I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.

      Morgan as GM so far

      By panthers55 · Posted

      That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.

      Not necessarily, they very well could just be waiting on the players who will get cut in the coming weeks/months as cap casualties and wanting to have the cap room to be able to offer more than other teams (likely our best shot at finding immediate pass rushing help for next year at this point). Also wouldn't be the end of the world to try and roll some cap into next offseason to have more space to go after bigger FA's. That's a better move than signing guys who really won't help much more than whoever else we can get on minimum or rookie deals.
