The Carolina Panthers are owned by a Dan Snyder clone

I don't think Tepper's deference to Rhule is the plus that you're implying it is. If anything, it underscores his ineptitude even more.

That’s quite the framing lol. Tepper’s deference to Rhule is a bad thing simply because Rhule has shown poor judgment. Does that mean I want Tepper stepping in and meddling and overriding Rhule and Fitterer on football decisions? Hell no. An owner’s deference to their head coach as a management philosophy IS a plus…I can’t possibly imagine you disagree with that. Tepper already made his bed and committed himself to Rhule, so at this point I want him to entrust the people he hired to do their job. Otherwise you end up with a Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder. Tepper’s mistake thus far has been hiring Rhule - that’s his job and where he has dropped the ball. His job isn’t to coach this team and set the depth chart and manage the roster. If he kept Rhule and instead neutered him of all football decisions and took it upon himself to make those decisions instead, then THAT would epitomize ineptitude and would convert me into a full-blown bitter and miserable Huddler.

You could switch "Snyder" with "Tepper," and this still makes perfect sense. Tepper has absolutely been prone to knee-jerk decisions. All things considered with injuries, Tepper has had a different starting QB take most of the snaps every year he's owned the team.

2018: Cam Newton
2019: Kyle Allen
2020: Teddy Bridgewater
2021: Sam Darnold
2022: Baker Mayfield

If anything, he's trained what's left of the fanbase to know not to buy a Mayfield jersey now, to wait until December, when they're $29.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods, and to apply the same approach to Carson Wentz's jersey next year.

Hey now why would we get Wentz when we can get a hometown hero like Daniel Jones?

He's not Snyder level yet but very few in this thread willing to defend him. He has been wrong on every decision, and is trying to stiff a bunch businesses over the practice facility fiasco. Hope they stick it to him and he is forced to sell.  Seems like a Snyder in training right now and sexual harassment claims would not surprise me.  

I think that adding Fitterer to the mix was an excellent decision.

Now diluting the GM's power by placing him under a coach who doesn't have very much professional experience might not be good, but it's year three and the moves have been pretty good, if not intriguing, compared to years one and two of the Rhule era.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
