100% agree, both have no clue at all. Heck, maybe she is trying to learn so she can help her husband.

Well, somebody needs to

think she was out there watching Oklahoma drills?

Imagine if one day she takes over and after putting in the work to learn… turns this around. One could hope.

If you're winning you can do whatever you want. But when you're 1-8 with the worst record in the NFL since you took over ownership maybe you shouldn't have your wife out there scouting the OL and chopping it up with your front office personnel. I mean just for optics' sake. It's a bad look for an awful organization. Or do and give everyone more fodder for jokes. Either way...

In the lone win it was overlooked- it took a mid-field late 4th down conversion to get in FG range.......Hell it seems in each successful drive during the games includes at least one 4th down conversion..... pathetic 

It was a pretty impressive drive by Bryce that if Stroud or Richardson did it that day, they'd be feted as heroes. But to have to just belabor for every yard, every play, I mean -- it worked out perfectly and Bryce made some great throws, but it still took forever to get there.

So are we going to end up with a Virginia McCaskey situation where an incompetent owner who has no business owning the team owns the team after predecessor dies? Except it's going to be Nicole freaking Tepper?

Plenty of folks myself included said Bryce looked the best he had all year in that game. But then we played some more games.

If she'd just stay out of the way and let good football people handle things, she'd be a 100% improvement over her husband.

The Teppers need to find a new hobby other than ruining football in the Carolinas. 

They're not ruining all football in the Carolinas, just the NFL. There's still college ball, which has been a lot more fun to watch than the NFL's Carolina team over the last seven years or so.

It's now hitting me that my boys will have to sit through the Nicole Tepper ownership era.... I wish she were more like Mrs. Ford and just a hands off owner

I'll still have that glimmer of hope last December, the one bit of thinking "this could be a playoff season" amid a sprawling shitshow of Tepper-fueled incompetence

She actually might be.

Ya never know...

I never had hope that they would make the playoffs last season. I preferred the Panthers losing in beatdowns, which should have killed the false hope, but sadly, that didn't happen.

Zero signs to point to that. I mean, she's literally getting on the phone during the draft to make trade deals.
