New message for Tepper.

I have no doubt that it will push Tepper's buttons, but truth be told, Tepper is in way over his head. He can say and do an buy what (or who) he wants, but he cannot go down on the field and play the game for the players or call the game for the coaches.

EXACTLY...

I think all of us KNOW that Tepper is NOT a football genius. BUT... he's not in charge on game day. He is NOT making the on-field decisions. The players on the field are being encouraged, watched, and evaluated by the coaches. The coaches are delivering the "attaboys" and the discipline. If the coaches are "coaching" then it is up to the players to deliver the "play".

Everyone wants to BLAME someone. And David Tepper is an easy target. He's made some very 'public' mistakes. He talks and makes statements that HE hasn't came through on. He represents the "low-hanging fruit". If it's necessary to lay blame... then we can blame him for the mess at the new practice facility in SC. We can blame him for the public display of childishness when he tossed a cup of water or a drink of some sort out of the owner's box window. SMH -- stupid, stupid, stupid.

Still, as much as we don't like the 'look', Tepper is NOT making the game-day decisions. This team does not "sink or swim" on David Tepper's weird, sometimes crazy, actions. The best thing we can do right now is just ignore all of the background "noise" surrounding Tepper. It is NOT important. There is no reason to blame EVERYTHING on Tepper.

This team is in the hands of Dan Morgan, Tillis, and Canales. They are the ones who will 'shape' this team this year and probably next year and thereafter. At least for awhile... possibly ... maybe..??  There have been a LOT of good changes made. The Panthers are playing 'tough'. They're getting beat, but they're showing up to play. This totally unreasonable spate of injuries has decimated our Defense. And yet, we keep fighting to be relevant. I am liking what I'm seeing for effort.

Something has to give...And when it does, it won't be Tepper who gets the accolades. And if it doesn't happen immediately, it's not Tepper's fault either.

Tepper might not be the worst owner in the league.  There is competition:

Typically, [Woody]Johnson meets with Douglas and Saleh after every game. This one was a larger-scale meeting because it included the three coordinators and other members of the front office, which changed the tenor. People were stunned when Rodgers' job status was mentioned.


The four-time MVP didn't play particularly well in the 10-9 loss to the Broncos, a game in which the Jets failed to score a touchdown, but the idea of replacing him with Tyrod Taylor seemed extreme. Two weeks later, the Jets made a move designed to help Rodgers, acquiring his close friend Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson pushed for the trade, sources said, agreeing to pick up more than $11 million in remaining 2024 salary.

Rodgers has yet to comment on Johnson's suggestion that he be benched.

Johnson, 77, has taken a more hands-on approach since the end of last season in both personnel and contract matters. Just last week, he instructed interim coach Jeff Ulbrich to bench safety Tony Adams, sources said. Johnson also has attended daily meetings -- classroom sessions with coaches and players.

He recently called this Jets roster the best he has had in 25 years of ownership, expressing confidence -- even after firing Saleh -- that it would snap the franchise's 13-year playoff drought. The Jets are on the verge of mathematical elimination, but there should be plenty of drama, starting with Rodgers.

I hope Tepper is paying attention.  Those hands on owners' teams are not doing so well.

AGREED...

As this goes to press, I mean, like, right now....  There are a number of teams whose fortunes are diminishing as this season starts on its rush to judgement day. There are also a few whose ballon is rising, some of which are helped along with a mighty breath of hot air.

I think it's fair to say that owners (in general) have words to add to the confusion, but precious little in action to back up those words.  And really, that's how it should be. The Panthers definitely do not have a corner on the less-appealing market when it comes to NFL team owners. There are quite a few teams that are not generating "wins" any better than we are..... AND TRUTHFULLY, some teams who are worse off than the Panthers.
So.... as I've said before, this game is about the players, the coaches, and to a lesser extent the football gods. " Good Fortune" can be a fickle adversary. 

My question is how can so many people who own football teams be so out of touch with the reality of football and the importance of its fans?

Always good to know ure not alone

Their egos are sooooo big.  They just think of fans as people to buy things.  And, they think they ae smarter than anyone else about everything.

Yup, don’t like many ultra rich ppl.  Could b why my salary suffers.

I agree that the owners that mettle the most can have bad teams.

On the other hand, if the team is playing well, why would he mettle lol.

Because we believe they all have HUGE egos ,, I think even the winning owners are still in the coaches, GM's ears.. etc. They always want to let their GM's , Coaches know who is boss.. even if it doesn't make the media ..

Yes, probably true. We'll never know though. Which HC or GM will be willing to speak up or point the finger ..??
