Tepper's patience is why we are screwed for at least 3 more years.

I keep seeing the narrative from national pundits and the media at large that Tepper's impatience is running us into the ground. These people obviously aren't panther fans. If they were, they'd realize the fact that Tepper had TOO MUCH patience for Matt Rhule specifically, and that's what has led to our football purgatory.

It was painfully obvious to literally all panther fans that Rhule sucked and year 3 was going to suck under him. But for whatever reason, Tepper decided to run it back with a hack college coach who sucked at managing and coaching grown men.

Had we fired Rhule then, we'd have had the opportunity to hire one of the following coaches:

Kevin O'Connell

Mike McDaniel

Brian Daboll

Doug Pederson

Of course, we also would have had the opportunity to hire one of the following coaches as well, which let's be honest, is probably the talent pool we would have been wading in:

Josh McDaniels

Matt Eberfuls

Nathanial Hackett

Regardless, we had a real shot at a firm reset last year with a solid up-and-coming coach, but we pissed it all away to watch Rhule and co. flounder for the first month of the season, only to have a grownup step in and clean up his mess. We wouldn't have had to trade away CMC or DJ Moore, and then we wouldn't have had to mortgage the future to trade up to #1 and draft Bryce.

The frustrating part is that this isn't even revisionist history, NO ONE in the fan base wanted Rhule back. It was painfully obvious he sucked and would continue to suck into the future.

Then Fitterer went and panic sold all our best players to try and get a QB that he already sank tons of resources into.

At least he ripped the band-aid off with Reich. That needed to happen as well. Now he needs to rip the band-aid off with Fitterer, do a hard reset this offseason and embrace the suck for the next 3 years as we try to claw our way back to being mediocre with a new regime and new talent.

I think we had the talent last year to get a playoff spot if we had competent coaching from the get-go. I never think any one franchise is more than 2 years away from competing, but now we are so depleted of talent and hope that we are in a 3-year rebuild at the shortest. Had we just pulled the plug on Rhule when it needed to happen, we wouldn't be in such dire straits.

...said this bs 2 years ago....your prediction is gonna fall short by another 2 years....the bone on this one is thickkkk.

The only "Good" players on our team right now are Brown, Luvu, and Horn, and Horn is never healthy.

That's it.

That's the list.

We are screwed for a while.

Yea I actually don't but the whole *Tepper is impatient bit*. If anything he kept Ron, Hurney and Rhule all one year too long. I think actual NFL people probably see that but the media has become such a what has happened in the last five min type of reporting. 

 

Which makes why firing Reich so quickly actually surprised me and why my conspiracy theory is that Reich wanted to be fired.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
