Im a big critic of Tepper but in the interest of generating positivity and some rational outlook for the future, I want you to hear what y’all think Tepper has done right.
To me it’s things like buying a bubble, engaging with old panthers like Smitty to bring them back around, and to start treating team alumni better. Honestly I run out of obvious things after that of significance. Wondering what y’all think because I know he wants to win, but man listening his 12 minute press conference was pretty rough, he spent more time talking about economic impact to Charlotte than anything.
He’s proving that he’s the next Daniel Snyder…
Personally, I do think he cares about winning and is trying to build a winner here. He’s shown he’s willing to spend cash aggressively and that’s a welcome change of pace from the usual frugal Richardson days.
Richardson took us to two Super Bowls. His approach worked.
Garth is my favorite artist so that was cool
He has more money than I do. That’s something?
I mean he’s an NFL owner that’s like the bare minimum prerequisite
Thanks Nichol
NFL logo off center field was big
This will certainly help turn the franchise around
It’s tough.
The draft pick and trade seem quite forced. Also, it feels like a trade up was on the table, and when Houston said no thanks, ownership said, “hold my beer”.
There is one part of the presser where I believe he says along the lines of, “and we agreed to move up to number two for CJ, but got #1 and wanted Bryce”.
Seems to me like the staff was hired with the idea of go scout is a QB, and when they came back Stroud, they were told, “try again”.
Idk, the firing now also feels more like this is the case bc it seems to be the only logical path to making any sense of these shenanigans.
huh?
to me that says, chicago had the #2 overall pick, houston had 1, so they presumed houston was going to take bryce and they prepared to draft CJ
Until Lovie Smith fucked around and won the last game on a 2 pt conversion and dropped them to #2, and then the front office knew they had their choice
How quickly do people forget lol
I honestly think he did the right thing naming Tabor the interim coach. He avoided another Wilkes scenario by not naming Evero interim. Nobody expects Tabor to get the job at the end of the year. Nobody will care if he doesn’t get the job either. He’s learning. Fingers crossed it’s not at our expense for many more years to come.
He tries. Not everything works but he’s not sitting back collecting a paycheck.
Also brought more concerts to the stadium.
He’s willing to spend the money. He’s the 2nd richest owner in the NFL, which means for better or worse he can throw large money at coaches, players, etc and not have to worry like Mark Davis does when the time comes to fire the guy.
It’s probably the only thing that we have going for us in this hiring cycle.
I like Tepper. He cuts our losses when he knows it’s not going anywhere. Would you guys rather keep Reich for another 6 games to watch Bryce continue to struggle in his ancient system he refuses to change?
