Will David Tepper admit he made a mistake when he finally fires Matt Rhule?

Tepper totally gets how he is perceived.  He admits to getting on social media and twitter to read about himself and the Panthers. 

I'd normally call that a mistake.

In his case though, it's probably not a bad thing.

Disagree he doesn’t owe us an explanation. If he fired him after last season, sure. Why did he keep him another season when it’s obvious nothing is moving in the right direction

I mean....we don't own the team. He owns the team. It's his franchise to do whatever he wishes with it.

You wouldn't go to your local Amazon warehouse and demand they reorganize the shelves and apologize to you, right? 

I don't care about any apologies. I don't get to take the "I'm sorry" tokens and cash them in for NFL wins.

Everyone loves to bring down the ego of an arrogant and outspoken billionaire. It’s engrained into the DNA of the plebs. 

I'd call it more of a practical matter in this case.

I don't care if he gets daily ego massages as long as he's not screwing up the team.

But he is, so...

this. there is no benefit to anyone in him giving an explanation, much less in apologizing.

all that really matters is him firing rhule if this year isn't working out. as long as he does it i'm fine. 

this point in the year it's just about hoping for the best with what we've got. until we start losing i'm not going to dwell much on whether he should have been or should be fired. really just not much sense or sanity involved in fixating on it for the moment.

Agreed.

I suspect we see a similar track towards last year. Early success and then as attrition begins to happen the wheels quickly fall off.

If Rhule doesn't get fired after that, I don't really know that I understand what Tepper is doing at all.

i'm on the same track. i think it will be better than last year, but only marginally. that schedule after the first few weeks, though, is brutal. going to have to be more than a couple teams taking some serious steps backwards to get beat by us.

that said... i'm not going to look for, expect, or even feel i am deserving of some kind of explanation or apology if that happens and tepper does or doesn't fire rhule. i'm just along for the ride.

Yep. And under Rhule I really have no illusions about us being successful, so I am just an interested observer at this point.

I'm not going to invest too much energy into getting mad about team failures when we are set up to fail.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
