He definitely deserves credit. He's got a long way to go though before we all trust or like him, if he can ever get there. 

 

I have no reason to hate the guy if he's doing things that allow this team to be successful. He clearly stuck his nose in too many things. He's also clearly taken a step back from putting his nose in everything. Lets hope the trend holds if success comes. 

So yes, I'll give him credit and appreciation for allowing the football people to football.

Give him credit for what? The team just finished its 6th straight double digit losing season, 7th straight losing season under his ownership. They have up the most points in NFL HISTORY. So sure I’ll give him credit for being the sole reason the Panthers have been the laughing stock of the NFL since he bought the team. 

I’ll give him credit for raising money for the hurricane victims.

Just because you can see over the lip of the hole you're in, doesn't mean you are out yet.

Let's get to the playoffs next season and then we can start talking about redemption and Tepper.

Edit to add: And I'd sure like to be able to say what a good job he has done finally.

      Hard Knocks?

      yeah, Canales nor Bryce really offer what that show wants.   We would have to be bringing a lot to the table given we are a small market team.  We just don't have the personalities.  XL just ain't enough

      Backup QB

      I am the same way--look back at the draft history of the Panthers and see how many fourth rounders stuck--While I agree that we need all the picks we have to address needs, backup QB is a VERY IMPORTANT need.  While people do not want to spend a draft pick on a QB--I think the best value in round 4 might be QB.  Besides, backups cost more cap room than a mid round rookie--so what you lose in the draft you gain in free agency.  We have coaches who have developed QBs--and other players.  Let them do their work.  The concept that a third year QB needs a mentor is myth.  They can develop just as much by mentoring a rookie--and there are these things called coaches (often former QBs) who can do that. THIS DRAFT has some strong, developmental QBs that should be available in rounds 3 and 4.  The Pats drafted Brady when they had Bledsoe--same thing.  I want my backup QB trying to win a starting gig, not looking to stave off Shady Acres.

      Definitely want a guy you can count on for a few games who gives the team a chance to win--I see that perspective.  My view is the backup needs to be competing and developing for 3 years from now, when Bryce may be a mediocre QB asking for $80m.  In addition, his success has been a relatively short stretch; we don't know if old Bryce might return.  I would like to be grooming a backup to be an NFL starter (here or elsewhere) than keeping a guy out of retirement.   But there is benefit to any approach, and what I like probably matters little--Cousins behind RGIII, Brady was drafted when Bledsoe was a big name, The Niners drafted Purdy when they were grooming Lance, etc.  If you sign a 38-year old veteran, you don't develop the backup QB.  Here, we seem to be able to develop QBs (Coach has the rep for developing QBs), so I would like to see us prepare for an uncertain future and use the talents we have on the staff.
