ahhh the year with him and Kupp the year he had his triple crown. Waltz to the ship easily. They both costed me a championship this past year though.

I mean, he's basically averaging 1100 yards per year with only one year of decent QB play where his TDs and efficiency numbers dramatically increased. The dude's a stud.

Glad we didn't trade for him.

In general, It's just unfortunate that he got hurt. But...I'd argue that all's well that ends well; the Panthers are in a better place in regards to the RB room, and, not only has CMC had the opportunity to almost win his team a championship in overtime of the Super Bowl, he's playing for a franchise known for solidity if not historical excellence.

Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....

What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19 From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis): Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

Ehhh im not mad either way I don't think hes garbage but he was and is overpaid.... but he was a skating turnover machine.

My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.

Does anyone know how Plummer and Garbers have looked so far? I've neither heard nor seen much about them besides a view vids at rookie camp of Garbers

yeah, Panther PR has done the Tepper is taking a backseat PR tour before. It wasn't true at all the first time we saw them attempt that. All the stuff you are referencing is stuff produced and put out by the Panthers. I'm not acting like owners aren't in the war room. I'm just saying Tepper is a proven commodity. He is what he is. And his tenure with BOTH his professional sports teams tell the exact same story about him. He is not patient. He didn't show patience last year. He moved on from an absurd investment 2 games into the season.....and a frankly unimaginable turnaround by Bryce that was only allowed by injury reset some things. I'm sure a billion times Raiders or Dallas or whatever fans convinced themselves their owners turned a new leaf too. I'm not buying that. There just isn't anything supporting Tepper isn't Tepper IMO.

Well last year the first team offense struggled against the Bills 3rd string defense. First string offense needed to convert a 4th down to score a TD. If the starters play against backups and do what they are supposed to do, score easily, I’d say the reps are worth it. Would make me feel better. Unlike last preseason.

This right here. You also don’t want your 2 nd string oline going against their starting Dline and risk injury to whoever is taking snaps

I've seen the video, not a photo. Tepper basically wasn't saying a damned thing. Stop acting like owners of teams aren't in the war room.

No offense but thats vague as hell

how can you not see him. Not sure, how he is more behind the scenes here. He is placed between the GM and HC for a reason. Tepper literally was ready to light the Bryce Young experiment on fire after 2 weeks this past season and people are calling him turning over a new patient leaf lol. Tepper isn't going to change. That's not what old billionaires do.

given this is the NIL era (open bags of cash to play)......this is completely stupid.

I don’t mind her…that’s the gorgeous Stephanie Ready. She has a history with us.

Did not like Teddy as a football player but he seems like a good dude. I guess this is the “if you’re going to bring in a snack you need to bring enough for the whole class” penalty because of the care he gave to the team the other schools can’t compete. It’s a shame that doing good for some kids who likely have a rough home life is punished these days.

It's exciting because , running the ball and stopping the run, putting pressure on the QB have stood the test of time. If Bryce and offense can operate efficiently we should be in good shape. My only concern still is the secondary depth and ability to cover.

Meanwhile Epstein list of pedophiles and rapists is nowhere to be found

Kudos to Teddy for doing good in the community. We need more of that not less.

Can we be rational adults here? This is before even preseason. Labeling anyone a bust now would be like barreling into a football conversation about rookies and calling someone a bust after their first rookie camp. How about we just shelve the machismo and revisit this at the end of the year and see how he's progressing? Because at the end of the day this team badly needed an infusion of not just addtional talent but culture setters. We need less selfish basketball. That's something the team has prioritized. Whether or not that is going to work is anyone's guess but it's probably going to take more than just one singular season anyways. Let it play out for a bit.

It says a lot that helping is considered an unfair advantage.
