So we are back to wanting Teddy Bridgewater. What is the definition of insanity?

Has Tepper’s way been patient? He keeps saying Rome wasn’t built in a day when his record is referenced. But Tepper isn’t actually patient. Part of the problem IMO. Which has lead to poor decisions.

No one wants him to openly trash Sam like is done on a message board. The only sensible alternative to not trashing him isn’t repeatedly declaring him a great QB. did Ron and Hurney trash Jimmy Clausen right before they drafted Cam? Nope. They also didn’t praise Jimmy as a great QB. That’s the reality lane I think people wish existed here.

Bonds don't magically appear. We know RH accuses Tepper of being a wrench in that. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Tepper has refused to answer all questions and did so before he nixed the deal and before RH allegedly begged him not to say a word about anything and everything. again, good reporters don't not ask questions because rich people don't want to answer them. and to quote Tepper today, he is idiot and has made a lot of mistakes.

and he was again asked about his role and asking RH not to issue bonds. he has long refused to address his role because good reporters don’t refuse to keep asking questions because rich people don’t want to answer them

the CN2 reporter was the 2nd to last person to ask a question. That wasn't Rock Hill media. Literally every legit Panther reporter has a 1000 questions for Tepper on the topic. Because he hasn't talked and still refuses to. And he refused their questions for months now....before the "but Rock Hill asked me not to talk" BS narrative.

Tepper basically spent his entire time deflecting all questions. I don't see it as much other than that. Sounds like Tepper is pretty involved in any major and important player. So I would assume that includes the top draft picks. But maybe instead of Tepper and Rhule and it is now Tepper and the GM. It sure looks like Matt Rhule is on the back burner. No way to have faith in a HC and hide him the way the Panthers org has.

You need built in bias to walk away from that trainwreck presser thinking that. That was a horrible presser. This is why they have been hiding Tepper and Rhule. And if Tepper hired good people....they would have prevented him from doing that pointless presser today and just left people bitching about him hiding. That didn't help Tepper at all today.

anyone that sits up their with a straight face and says Sam Darnold is very good QB repeatedly......is telling you that everything they say is utter bullshit. Truthful people don't randomly throw in insane lies of that magnitude. They aren't able to. They BS some polite remark acknowledging the reality we all see and know.

Summary for those unable to watch:

Dom, Fox, and Rivera all were in the postseason by year 3. And all had built better teams by the end of year 2 than Rhule. Tepper was right about 1 thing today. He is an idiot.

Tepper - I’m only here to talk about Panther football Panther football question Tepper- that’s a question for the GM not me.

- Jay Z plan - get better - Jay Z plan - no comment - no comment

David Tepper will be avaliable only via zoom. Better than nothing.

Hopefully Joe Person and Sheena are there. Those are about the only two that push the envelope these days. and yes, I said Joe Person. He has been better since moving to the Athletic.

Horn was discussed here at least. He was actually my worst case scenario prediction the day before the draft. Because I thought the Seattle GM would be overly focused on trying to mimic what lead to Seattle's success.

Matt Rhule probably interviewed him at the combine.

He is better. Jimmy is more on par with Teddy. Teddy was better than Sam. None of the 3 are the answer for anyone though. Well, Jimmy and Teddy actually are ideal backup QBs.

Corral is a day 2 player. OL is the most important puzzle piece. I got no issue with BC. But he has a ceiling and thankfully flexibility. The OTs at the top of this draft have potential BC doesn’t.

swap firsts and a 2nd and 3rd make up the value difference and then some if you believe the trade value charts. that's going off the 15th pick

we end up 28 7th round picks.

he had a good OL in college. he still did all the dumb stuff back then just like he does in the pros. Sam was a turnover panic machine from the very start. It's not the OL creating Sam being dumb. Sam always has done that from the very beginning. Bad OLs didn't make him bad. He was always what he is.

OT out of Bama to make the Pro Bowl? I think was Chris Samuel. Drafted 22 years ago. I mean, that does say something.
