same article (General Manager Scott Fitter) even credited Mrs. Tepper for her role in the coaching search. What struck me most about the comment is how it didn’t sound forced. It was authentic. He didn’t seem to be just sucking up to the owners, but he appeared to mean it. Was Mrs. Tepper the difference in the hiring process that the Panthers needed? At the very least, her insight lent to assembling the most accomplished coaching staff in team history. Mrs. Tepper also has been noticeably present as Carolina has scouted their next rookie quarterback. She has been present for most of the quarterbacks’ pro days, and there are tons of photos showing her meeting the prospects and their families. One can only assume she has also been involved in the one-on-one interviews with these quarterback prospects.

that looks like something the Tepper's paid to have written about her. there is nothing factual behind those assertions. She had to resume to be doing anything for this organziations....let alone part of the staff hiring and player personnel. She is just a rich lady and money has afforded her the opportunity to anything she wants. Tepper could buy an automobile company and overnight she would be in overseeing crash testing or some poo just because he bought the team and wanted to be part of it.

big picture, if you decided to draft Bryce Young....the only smart play would be to ultimately cater an O to him. Given his limitations. not that we really did that. Frank largely was just doing what he likes with a tiny Bryce tweak. We didn't bring in a playcaller to build a scheme around him, we didn't add skill talent to match that and we don't have an OL for it. Nothing fit. I mean, we could 100% cater to our OL. That just lowers Bryce's potential ceiling having him in that O and makes the pick even more pointless/bad than it already looks.

it's pretty bad in this O. I mean, if you cherry picked out all the plays Bryce is adding the issue....the OL is still flat out bad. but some of that is also just flat out the predictability of it all working against them. Which isn't even Bryce or their own talent. Frank Reich's O here made Jeff Davidson and every horrific playcaller in our history look better.

this current window has been a textbook example of having no vision and everyone on their own unique page. we don't need to "fix the OL".....until we know what we want to be on offense. We need a HC and a direction before we have anyone fixing the talent on this team.

it remains a massive red flag....to of jumped around the league for years and then could only find a home on Matt Rhule's staff. Never got the hype some made with him.

all depends on the HC and O we bring in. This cast was universally looked as upper half of the league in 1 scheme/O. Near last in another. But given we likely are stuck w/ Bryce for at least another season and if he officially busts I would still want to pursue a creative and passing O.....we need to get rid of a line built to play Foxball.

Frank woken up last night in a cold sweat to this Frank then remembers what he just stole Frank

yeah, I got no issue if the Panthers have women in leadership roles. I got an issue with the Nicole being it. Her resume is I married some dude in 2019 so now I can tinker around w/ a sports franchise because I'm already bored with being a billionaire's wife.

I can't use a happy looking clown to represent these folks. Tepper has destroyed our average franchise yet largely every other year entertaining team.

Look at this clown. Clearly never been to the luxurious South of the Border. Haven’t you seen the 824 billboards, friend.

Tepper is about to announce the “Carolina” Panthers are no longer going by that name. It’s not appropriate. It’s not 2 states, 1 team. We will be the Nicole Panthers.

I don’t know. Lot of players have seemed less than enthusiastic about then whole deal. Specifically, the older players with families and those that have spent time elsewhere. who wants to go sleep in a college dorm for a couple weeks away from your family? I don’t think all 6 are putting their athletes in college dorms either.

Teams should have to kick off to us from their own endzone

I bet players are happy though. There aren't many teams left doing that type stuff.

Burns would 100% look better on a stacked team. But Garrett, Crosby, Bosa, etc would all look better here than Burns does. Because they are better and have more well rounded games. Burns needs to be setup to an extent for his outside speed moves.

Only sensible option would be for me to run the team from the huddle message board as a GM/HC. Day 1 - I'm trading for every Clemson Tiger in the league. No matter the cost. That's right folks, Trevor Lawerence is coming to town. Day 2 - I will add one Gamecock to keep that masses from being able to claim I only sought Clemson players. Clearly, that couldn't be true if I bring Captain Munnerlyn out of retirement to be my 5th string DB. Don't question the move, keep in mind I had to get Trevor Lawerence and company so my resources are slim. And yes, yes, NC, I will represent your teams by adding 1 player from UNC. It will be whoever the random player is that you moan about shouldn't even make the league. Well, he shouldn't but resources are slim and I'll have to pay a lot of guys the league min. But that's it from NC. Day 3 - unlike prior admins, I will embrace the Keep Pounding motto like no one has ever done. I'll wear it on my gameday shirt. I will often ask people why they hate Sam Mills as my response to any questioning of decisions I make if I happen to be wearing said shirt. FYI - I will always wear my Keep Pounding merch. Draft - Huddle poll. Boom. If CFP has a committee that decides championships that often include random people like politicians, sports writers and the likes.....well, why not you! The good people! Gameday - I'm new age. Forward thinking. A different breed. I'm like the Miami HC but even crazier. I'm bringing my recliner and case of beer to the sideline. By the 4th quarter and 10 beers in I should be at my peak of gameday management. I'll be calling all sorts of creative stuff. Press Conferences - I ain't got time for that. I'll need to here on the huddle complaining about the Panthers

I don't know if they are good friends or not. Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. All old heads in the NFL, know all the old heads. Lot of folks know and work with each other in the NFL they probably ain't very tight in reality outside the scope of doing a job. Just like everywhere else. I mean, the NFL is a tiny network and place in reality. McCown was employed with more than a quarter of the league. I mean, his network of people who worked with is huge. He likely has worked with coaches on every staff in the NFL. In all honesty, Frank taking it back was the best thing that could of happened for Thomas Brown IMO. He shouldn't be sore about that aspect. Could be sore about never being able to do what he wanted despite being called the OC. I personally still think it was odd those firing were initially tied to Caldwell to a large extent. If Caldwell was such a big Frank/McCown guy. I mean, at that point Caldwell would be agreeing to be the face of a Campen inspired movement? anyway, at this rate of how the pooshow is going.....we might actually get it confirmed who is who and more details and events.

Maybe. I think there is something to this Caldwell/Tabor duo that emerged personally. Remember, THEY are the ones that fired McCown. That's how Carolina initially pimped it. Tabor then sort of wanted to squash that narrative. Always thought it was weird they sort of wanted to plug Caldwell as almost the co-interim at first. And their first move was to fire the guy directly in charge of the footwork. Caldwell also has way more sway than Campen. If you wanted to know what was going wrong....who would Fitt most likely talk to. The former HC/guy overseeing it all as an advisor or Campen. Well, Tepper was advised of what someone thought.

maybe it has been discussed, but who do folks think is the O coach that went with Fitt to Tepper? Caldwell Brown McCown I would think it would have to be one of those 3. McCown isn't here. So I think that actually makes him less likely to be the guy. Tepper seemed to agree with the insight. That the footwork is an issue. So I doubt Tepper allowed the guy who was "right" to be axed. I'm thinking Jim Caldwell. Who also got a slight bump. They make sure to note him every time Tabor is mentioned as interim.

good news is even the NY Post and the likes are picking this stuff up. Tepper will love that lol.

we are about a Washington Football Team shitshow level where we have to bring in Ron Rivera to be the face and stabilize us

I said when. I know you aren't there yet. Goes back to why I wanted Fitt fired with Rhule. Because you then had a GM and HC paired up.....that have unique and separate timelines. Different worries. I'll make exceptions for great HCs or great GMs. None of which we employed. Going up for that first overall pick meant more for Fitt and Tepper than Frank. Because they were coming off the Rhule era stink in Carolina. They needed "us" to view things and them drastically different.

Browns are the least thrown against team in the NFL. Cowboys are the 3rd least thrown against team Garrett is top 5 in sacks. Parsons is top 10 in sacks It's only stopping Burns

as I have told you, open arms whenever you are ready to come to terms with Fitt. when Tepper was talking about his point guard and being able to invest so heavily elsewhere, he was talking like a GM sold him on the idea. And I still think the Jaycee Horn pick was a Fitt creation too. It's why I was scared we would waste a top pick on a DB. Fitt coming from a franchise that won off D and secondary play. That was the Seattle blueprint for success.
