David Tepper takes the heat, but are Dave Canales & Panthers players to blame?

[jayboogieman]

Donnelly thinks the problems are more than just Tepper

[Jon Snow]

Of course it is.

"Don't let everyone that works for Tepper skate by scot-free"

Well yeah we shouldn't do that but at the same time he is the one doing the hiring in every instance soo....

[Adb6368]

Everyone deserves blame. But it’s common place for the CEO to take the blame when it turns out the entire business is run on child labor… no difference here. 

and he doesn’t make it any easier by what he says - saying he doesn’t accept mediocrity and such. Talk big game you better back it up or you’re naturally going to get heckled

The one constant is Tepper. Put some olive oil in the pan with him heat him up. 

These radio guys get paid by the word. No dead air. They throw so much at the wall and they will usually use the good cop bad cop or pro vs con advocate roles. 

This guy said just now, that the Panthers from last year and the Panthers from this year didn't look different. And kept on talking like it was true.

Really? fuging D looked different. OL looked different. Open WRs that everyone could see were open, different... we know what looked the same.

I find I'd rather get opinions here than from most of the radio jocks.

Tepper is to blame.  He's the one that that made the HC hires. He's the one that pushed for Bryce Young.  Tepper made bad GM hires.  Everyone else is living with his sh*t decisions.

blame is pointless.  fix it

I like Morgan, but chances that he was polar opposites of his friend, mentor and former boss Scott Fitterer were slim.  The draft was going to be a telltale sign for me and he didn't deliver, IMO.  He pretty much got the positions correct, but the dudes we drafted was Fitterer 2.0.

He was the only option. It didn’t sound like any good outside candidates were interested.

This. We have near 100% roster turnover since Tepper bought the team and we have over 100% coaching staff and front office staff.

It's very obvious where the primary issue lies.

The draft safaris and the head coach jet set. Yeah. A show. 

 

But I just remembered something I have been meaning to bring up re the team being flat (that isn't really the reason for Sunday but it IS a big issue and morale suck) 

The fuging turf. They do not want to play on that turf and he makes them. The players have lobbied him. 

But he will put it in for some Euro soccer team.

You think that builds pride and gets guys to want to play for the organization? 

Imma guess, fug no. And then saddles them with a project at QB and swaps out their coaches like I don't know.... new cars.

Even if we didn't have turf, players rarely are falling over themselves for a spot on a cellar team unless they are chasing a paycheck.

Tepper is starting to get that rep. It will be very hard to lure any competent coach or GM here.
