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

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.

Sure. I meant it more like, there is no love where in the past guys on the team really did want to do well for JR, pretty sure.

Yeah, his obvious flaws aside there's plenty of former players with positive things to say about JR. It'd probably be pretty hard to find anyone who isn't currently cashing checks from Tepper to speak positively about him.

I just had the memory of JR dabbing in the locker room with Cam. and the team.  It is a good one.

I would say JR bringing back Hurney had more detriment than anything. Hurney is what led to Rhule.

Bet JR wouldn’t have hired Rhule though. 

Fair, but it was Hurney who said “we can’t let this guy leave the building”. Don’t know how JR would have reacted to that. 
 

also JR wouldn’t have paid him what he wanted so you’re probably right.

Just lay blame where it's earned. Tepper has his, DC has his, Evero has his and Young has his. Poop rolls down hill but you can evaluate personal performances to some degree. There isn't going to be fun football so just take your time and blame as it comes up.

Tepper runs a clown show. It's true so far and if anyone wants to change that I'd be happy to see it. That keeps not happening.

Radio fills too much dead time and takes too much from the quality. And also 'we don't know' was such a weak take.

I don’t think he would have been interviewed in the first place tbh.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
