Can someone bullet point all the wrong things Tepper has done? It should be known and we should add to it every time he does something dumb.

Literally everything he’s done in association with this team has been wrong.

You'd have a harder time finding even just one thing he’s done right.

I used to think that. I don't believe I do anymore.

Snyder is maybe the best comparison to Tepper, in the way that it seems there's always a "quick fix" and only he can make it happen. He is not in the league anymore of course, but he hung around for way too long, if that's what we have to look forward to as well.

Well Snyder made the mistake of becoming an enemy of the owners, which isn't a tenable situation.

The NFL wants all the wealthiest people involved as owners, so unless Tepper really wears out his welcome, he will be the owner until he doesn't want to be or dies.

We just have to hope he also doesn't move the team, as well. I don't think that is something that we shouldn't be worried about. Tepper has zero ties to this area. Even after buying the team, he still doesn't have any ties at all.

I believe the fallacy around David Tepper is that he doesn't want to win. I think that is a lazy and senseless argument. Everything that I have seen, tells me that he does. The man was upset and embarrassed at the Rhule press conference and it was clear during his exchange with Fowler. 

The problem is he doesn't know how to win. This is a man who made his career off of data and analytics and he tries to apply the same to football. If you haven't noticed the pattern, decisions are made from cumulative data, what other teams are doing, and what's trending.

I think Tepper can be a good owner, I don't doubt his willingness to win but I doubt his ability to put the right people around him. He is so driven to do what others are doing that he passed up the coach that gave him the most success he has achieved so far for an "offensive minded guy." He wanted a QB so bad, that he traded away a lot of cumulative value for a kid that many had doubts about. Of course, the freshly hired/fired HC and the GM with very little to no success is going to agree with him.  

If he wants success, he needs to put people that understand the NFL around him in the office and step back, learn and observe.

I don't think I could agree more with a post than I do this one. Tepper is a new owner making decisions in a world he's not as familiar with. His willingness to learn from others, accept his mistakes and move on, and most importantly spend money is a glaring indictment of his desire to win. He'll bring success to the Carolina Panthers, but it'll take time as he learns what it takes to be successful in today's NFL. 

Snyder did not care about winning in DC. Snyder didn't even care about the upkeep of facilities in DC. All Snyder cared about was making money and he drove that franchise into the ground. He and Tepper are not the same.

It is a possibility, and will be going forward since there will be some sort of stadium resolution in the near future.

Absolutely, in regards to the last years of his 23 year ownership tenure. There was a time when he would spend foolishly for big names at the end of their careers, and would seek out splash moves to promote the team. The team won 2 playoff games during his reign. 

It is reasonable to say he never cared about winning, and the big signings were all show to keep the dollars rolling in. It wasn't just about fielding garbage teams though. Some may not remember that he also sued season ticket holders at 1 point, and charged for tailgating and training camp visits, and let the facilities fall apart, and then think that Tepper would not or could not do that. 

If you think Tepper cares more about the bucks than than product on the field, then he could certainly be just as bad if not worse.

Yes, he is, and I honestly don't think it is close. 

 

The Panthers are a perennial expansion team. 

The one who runs Indy is much worse. Who even fires an HC before black monday. I play for Tepper before I ever for this clown.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
