Basically running an NFL franchise like an NFL fan would...

I already thought it was bad, but damn 😳

 

 

Most of us would run it better. If an assistant coach came to me like that, I would shut it down and report it to the HC. That’s terrible culture building.

Most of us would make mistakes, but it wouldn’t be this bad. This level of bad comes from huge ego and immaturity.

...which comes from thinking you're the smartest guy in the room and nobody can challenge you.

Said previously the "talking to too many people" thing makes it seem like Tepper believes he knows what he's doing and maybe just needs occasional advice from people to confirm his thinking. This goes even further and makes it sound like he gets ideas from articles or videos he sees online.

Lord almighty 😩

Yeah, this article doesn't help the perception of Bryce Young at all.

I was on the "bryce young is a bust" train about 3ish weeks ago and this lines up with that.  Not understanding an offense, along with his shitty mechanics(which he has always had) coupled with his slight frame and poo arm is just a recipe for starting completely over.

I thought I’d seen down times over the course of ~30 years as a Panthers fan. The Tepper regime has shown me that I knew nothing about the depths of fan despair. Tepp may kill this franchise if things don’t change. 

Similar feelings...and I was here through both 2001 and 2010.

So Young’s footwork is an issue and no one decided to bring this up in the pre draft process. Tepper was picking Young and doesn’t know a damn thing about footwork

Meanwhile CJ has maybe the cleanest and smoothest drop back in the league and did so in college too. 
 

Weird how something like that translates smh

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
