David Tepper and the Carolina Panthers: The Rhules of Engagement.

Yeah, I think there were some early voices rattling the "This is all Tepper's fault" saber. I know I was firmly on that bandwagon after Rhule didn't get dismissed in the offseason, which is where most of us jumped on board.

If he doesn't pull up from this nosedive in the offseason with a quality hire, this franchise will actually get worse. Mark my words, that is more than possible.

Tepper needs to take a giant step back from his hands on BS. The fact we were going so hard for Watson this offseason just shows how on the edge of the cliff to worse we still are as a team. 

I'm still hoping for a consultant to be brought in to hold his hand. I just don't know how much failure it takes to make him realize that. I'm really not impressed with the people he brought into the front office at this point.

The Carolina Panthers are a hot mess. Even glancing at them for a few seconds this season can show you that. However, going after a few low blows against an irrelevant and dead franchise is too easy. We have to go deeper (like a few inches deeper): We have to look at new owner David Tepper's reign.
 

Brutal but deserved. Ra-Ra homers need a reality check about the state of this franchise. They cope saying that "well Washington/Jax has worse owners!!!!!" as if that means absolutely anything.

Good video. The Jed York piece is spot on.... these guys come in like hot shots and then get grounded real fast. How they respond to that is what really matters.... I dont get the vibe of a Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder... but these next few years are realy going to tell us if Tepper is the hotshot owner who got humbled, or is he a stubborn son of a bitch that just wont know how to run a football team.

Right now, my money is on the former.... mainly because of the things he said during his presser. There was a lot of admitting to his short comings and things he has learned.

 

The whole rock hill thing, both sides are at fault.. and in all honesty... thats the business people doing business things ... i could care less about that IF im trying to judge him as a football team owner. If I am trying to judge him as a business leader... I have a lot more research to do before im come out blasting.

That’s a shame. Guy makes good content. One of my favorite sports YouTubers. 

FlemLo Raps is good too if anybody hasn't seen his stuff.  He has a fair amount of Panthers content too.

e: his Rae Carruth deep dive is gutwrenching but excellent

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
