Tepper era biggest blunder…

If we’re talking very early blunders I would say telling Ron he wanted a 3-4 defense. Seems that started the ball rolling backwards.

Tepper basically took a team that went to two super bowls in 13 years and said “yeah no, that run-first, vertical passing, 4-3 defense stuff is bad. Go to a 3-4 and a dunk and dunk scheme”.

 

it hasn’t worked

what David Tepper desperately needs is someone to tell him NO .until then the Carolina Panthers are going to always be nothing more than David & Nicole Teppers real life fantasy football team.

There has been so many but in order IMO

 

 

2- Not taking Justin Fields when we had the chance. Not only did we trade for Darnold before the draft. We could have just sat where we were taken Fields. Let him develop under Teddy for a year and see what we had. We save the picks from the Darnold deal but more importantly....THERE would have been no need to trade up for Bryce OR trade away CMC as we still would have been giving Fields his fair shot. Further if Fields had sucked here last year we would have ended up with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye

 

 

 

Not using the 8th overall pick for a backup caliber QB is one of the few things that this organization has done right in the last 6 years.

Cam Newton for the last year of his contract. This is truly when our downward spiral / constant moving towards a new QB started. If we keep Cam that year we likely suck very badly as it is Rhule's first year and Cam would be hurt and we likely end up with Trevor Lawrence 

This. Releasing Cam and signing Teddy was the dumb part of it. Releasing Cam, sure, fine, his shoulder was busted as sad as it was to see. If you were going to release Cam, It would have been an obvious tank but just play Kyle Allen at QB that year and you setup to draft Lawrence. Signing Teddy and trying to win was the blunder.

Baker was fuging atrocious here, and towards the end of his Browns tenure. I don't miss him at all. I miss Sam more, but neither was ever the answer here.

Keeping Marty was the biggest blunder. Everything that has followed comes from that one mistake.

You could argue that firing Marty was the biggest blunder.  You think mediocre is bad.  It can always get much much worse and it has.

Getting rid of Cam with no succession plan. 
 

And immediately after that every single offensive coordinator you hire it’s their first time on the job. Then fans sit and wonder why no QB can be successful. 

Neither of those things you said are accurate.  They signed teddy before getting rid of Cam. It was a dumb plan but it was one. And ole Rockstar goober from the giants had been an oc before.
