Tanier: Panthers in Good Shape

[thennek]

Tepper does not come across as “likeable”. If his handlers were smart they would not put him out in front of cameras anymore.

yeah i think right now trying to create a pattern to understand who could it be would be as useful as chasing your tail. Just going to lead you in circles with no results.

If Tepper hires consultants and they land on Steichen, then the connections wont matter. I could see Steichen bringing a lot of the former chargers coaching staff over and Alex Tanney from the Eagles over as his OC.

If the Chargers wind up having an opening, I could see Steichen being the guy to fill it.

But yeah, the focus right now seems to be on Wilks. That's one reason why I'm not putting too much effort into coaching profiles just yet because there's way too many potential candidates.

Well that, plus Lady Cowboy Fan just had her third surgery and recovery is going kinda rough

Apart of my faith in Tepper has increased. He made a mistake, but has begun to fix it. I respect that. I agree, Matt Rhule was clearly the biggest problem. Get a new coach and QB and continue this rebuild

I dont see the Chargers being the team to fill it... they had a chance to keep Steichen but instead let him walk. Apparently he wasnt on good terms there after taking over for Wisenhunt. Lynn was his only advocate. 

 

Yikes man, blessings to you both on your journey there.

Thanks.

I know that's where he's from and that's where he got all his experience. Haven't looked that closely into the circumstances around this move (one of those "down the road" things).

I also know the Spanos family is...unpredictable.

Sorry about that. Hang in there. Remind her of how good her team is this year.

I doubt Tepper has "handlers".

What Has Gone Wrong?

Let's get all of this out of the way before we continue.

• The Panthers rank 32nd in the NFL in time of possession (25:23);
• They rank 32nd in the NFL in first downs per game (14.8);
• They rank 32nd in the NFL in third-down conversions (24.2%);
• They rank 31st in the NFL in passing yards per play (5.71);
• Baker Mayfield ranks 32nd in the NFL in completion percentage (54.9%).

HOLY POO!

That's... an understatement.

He really could use someone to help him with his public speaking though.

Every time he gets in front of the press, it tends to come off badly.
