What do David Tepper’s concerns over “long-term mediocrity” mean for the 2020 Panthers?

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper had a long conversation with (mostly) local media yesterday to air his frustrations with the current status of his franchise. The conversation was conditioned on reporters not asking him about the future of Marty Hurney and Ron Rivera.

You can find detailed accounts of this conversation across the outlets that were present, including the Athletic (subscription required), ESPN, and the Charlotte Observer. By now I’m going to assume you’ve come across the headline grabbing takeaways that Tepper is tired of the Panthers “long-term mediocrity” and that he insists on not making a decision on Cam Newton until his health status has been more firmly established.
