Who cares about the length of and amount of his contract. The dude writing his check is a gazillion air.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:44 pmI have no skin in the game regarding the Panthers, but a seven year deal? That seems crazy to me.
True. But Tepper didn’t make his fortune making bad business decisions. Again, it isn’t my money and I don’t really care how he chooses to spend it. The length of the contract, especially for a guy that has zero NFL experience is a bit jaw dropping. Gruden got a 10 year deal from the Raiders. At least he has a SB ring.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:10 pmWho cares about the length of and amount of his contract.

So did Spurrier.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:19 pmYeah not sure why any of you care about the length or value of the contract lol. Not your money and Tepper has no shortage of cash. And if it goes bad Tepper can terminate as soon as he wishes. As others have mentioned, he was doing something right to complete the turnaround jobs at Temple and Baylor that he did. If you have concerns about the college to NFL jump then that’s fine but there’s enough of a track record to believe Rhule can be pretty successful in Carolina.
So why are you assuming this is a bad business decision if his entire $12 billion fortune is from making good business decisions? Obviously the man heard/saw something that he believes justifies his decision.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:24 pmTrue. But Tepper didn’t make his fortune making bad business decisions.

Ease up Karen. I’m not trashing your owner or your new coach. I just made a comment on the length of the guaranteed contract. Sorry to ruffle your feathers with such an innocuous comment.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:27 pmSo why are you assuming this is a bad business decision if his entire $12 billion fortune is from making good business decisions?

Except Spurrier didn’t take over two complete dumpster fires and get them to 10 wins in 3 years. I can argue Rhule’s resume all day, it’s damn impressive. Whether the success transfers remains to be seen but there’s no way you can objectively say it’s a mistake of a hire at this point.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:25 pmSo did Spurrier.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:19 pmYeah not sure why any of you care about the length or value of the contract lol.

I agree with you. His resume says he can turn things around in 2-3 seasons and it appears Tepper is wanting a 2-3 year rebuild. Baylor was a dumpster fire and he got the most out of them within 3 years, pretty impressive.
I think if we can find an affordable way to kick the tires on Cam for another season or two, you do it. As we have seen, you can’t just put the flavor of the month under center and expect to win. Defensive Coordinators just need a little bit of film to negate an average QB. A healthy Cam offers too many ways to hurt NFL defenses. The guy took these receivers to the super bowl- Bersin, Ginn, Cotchery, and downtown Philly Brown. 15-1, 60% comp, and 35 TDs..... so STUPID how good of a season that was,
That was a great season but the problem is that Newton has not been healthy and hasn't shown to be that good since then. Maybe Rhule can get that out of him but if he can get healthy and get back to form you keep that guy. If he can't stay healthy I would draft someone to push him and let them sit behind Cam for a couple years.appstatealum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:37 pmI think if we can find an affordable way to kick the tires on Cam for another season or two, you do it.

Those were opinion pieces and he has been good at times but he can't stay healthy. He has either missed time or played hurt. The ESPN.com piece was in October. That is just halfway through the year. Remember, the most important ability is availability.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 7:54 pmhttps://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-pant ... atform=ampAppStFan1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 7:14 pmand hasn't shown to be that good since then.appstatealum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:37 pmI think if we can find an affordable way to kick the tires on Cam for another season or two, you do it.

Cam Newton makes people stupid.
I’m not a Dallas fan, and I absolutely detest Jerry Jones, but he didn’t make it on bad business decisions either... Johnson and Switzer are “his” only 2 coaches to bring home SB rings. Both came from college...AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 2:24 pmTrue. But Tepper didn’t make his fortune making bad business decisions.

Point taken but that wasn’t the crux of my comment. I just think that a 7 year contract is rather lengthy and $60 million in guaranteed scratch is a lot to poney up for a guy with no NFL HC experience. Not questioning Ruhle’s abilities and it’s Tepper’s money to spend anyway he wants. Ala Daniel Snyder. Hope it ends up better for the Panther fans than what Redskins fans have to deal with.booneboy92 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 11:23 pmI’m not a Dallas fan, and I absolutely detest Jerry Jones, but he didn’t make it on bad business decisions either...
