David Tepper's five years owning the Panthers have come at a cost of $75,862,069 per win, and that doesn't include the playoff games, of which there have been none. But he has had five coaches including the new guy, Frank Reich, whose offense was allegedly too clever for the Indianapolis Colts, which means that Tepper likes being involved, and we all know how involved owners do. Bryce Young will be the ninth starting quarterback in the Tepper era, so bet accordingly.

Set your watches for the March "Loomis can't keep doing this" effort posts

I mean, the "he can't keep doing this and field a good team" parts have been completely true the last two years now. Decisively we have hit the point where kicking the can forever stops resulting in a good team

Should have bit the bullet when you had the chance, now you're stuck in hell for years before you can even begin to think about being legit competitive

This makes more sense if we weren't being told all summer that actually Bryce is way ahead of where rookies usually are.

It's been more than two full months of play now, I feel confident getting it off my chest after seeing him duck it either into the stands, into dirt, or way over his receivers against the second-worst team in the league that he very much isn't way ahead of anyone talent-wise. Won't say he can't be fixed or is broken, but yeah, in terms of "he's the immediate star of the group" I've seen enough there to know that's a lie

Certainly Bryce should wear some of the blame for our dysfunction

It's this. Maybe there's some posts I haven't seen here so I won't say nobody thinks he's the only or biggest problem, but he is a problem, it was one that couldn't be patched over last night to the point of ignoring it, and if they didn't think so too given his performance they don't have the kicker try the record distance at the end (which I still thought had a better chance of being good than a Bryce throw given what he'd been doing and missing wide all day, 1% chance vs no chance)

Definitely not the only one, or the biggest one, or the immediately-fixable one (Reich and Fitterer gone between now and Black Friday please. Frankly if you believe Bryce can be fixed this is the only option you should be rooting for, after a full year under these clowns it might be too late. Trevor needed time to recover from half a year of Urban, and Bryce already looks more shellshocked post-bye and on the way to the actual hard part of the schedule)

Pay Baker and keep Evans

Bowles is whatever. You're prob not winning a ring under him, but this year certainly ended better than expected by all metrics; nobody predicted a team in the division, let alone them, getting a playoff win and being a bad 2-point decision away from being near a conference championship appearance. Try to build off that; #9 cap space in the league rn to work with

Bill is gonna seriously end up being out of the league.

Breer said Atlanta wanted Bill as just HC and Bill stuck to his guns so they stuck to theirs :rubby:

He wants to be in the league long enough to get a wins record and wants to be GM too for it, and thinks going into interviews telling people that and having no answer for the inevitable "well, what do we do after you get that" is fine. Completely gone

1. Tepper didn't have a rep when Evero signed on, Most of that has come on over the course of the last year.

2. Evero signed on to work with a coaching staff and a defense which would theoretically have a few key pieces, many of which have now been cut out from under him. This is not what he signed up for.

3. Keeping Evero doesn't help the Panthers defense perform that much better, they're too devoid of talent. They have a very low ceiling. Now he's being chained to that.

4. I never said Dave wasn't in his legal right. I just said it makes him an rear end in a top hat. I think a reasonable person would look at these changes and cut him loose to find a better opportunity where he could hone his skills, not keep him in a dead end job. Good luck ever getting a coordinator to sign a long-term deal again, why would anyone do that knowing that this organization will just decide to suck you in like quicksand?

5. I cannot overemphasize how douchey the "You signed a contract, now suffer" mindset is. You have to sign a contract to work! No NFL team is going to take a year to year freelancer! Also, times and situations change and it falls upon the more powerful party in this situation to acknowledge that and make the necessary adjustment.

:agreed: completely, especially with #5

Even if Tepper wasn't visibly upset, the sign got to him enough that David Tepper, a billionaire who presumably has his hands in all sorts of different pots and has much more important things to do, went out of his way to stop at the restaurant to ask the manager who should be making the pick.

And he didn't even read the sign, obviously! The answer's right there!

This fully justifies all the years of saying Haslam believed the Manziel hobo
