You have to know when you are being baited.

That I can relate to. I have 1 foot out the door myself.

I think we all can relate to all of that.

Ignore it. It's a means to an end.

Join @stratoin his funny sign contest and post those yard signs. Send them to Person to judge the funniest. Include his face on the sign.

You decide on the prize. Maybe you can get someone to donate their games tickets. Although that's not a prize but you get the idea.

I think the Lock talk was just wild assumptions just because he worked with him. Grasping at straws kinda thing to be the first to report something that could happen.

Start a funny yard sign contest for Panthers fans and have them post the pictures on their social media page. It will take off trust me.

That's why we are where we are. It's OK the be a fan. It's not OK to think you know how to run the show and influence those that do.

It's a little different with each team but from what I've gathered it been the Panthers SOP for a long time now. Scouts are tasked to look for players that fit what the team wants in that player. It's not necessarily find the best CB because thats subjective. It's rather l9ok for the best CB that can do X or is a certain height or arm length or some other requirement and then rank those guys. It's different for every team.

That's how you would do things, like a fan. If you want professionals to make their own decisions then you have an accountant do the payroll and just watch the games from your luxury suite. Discuss the state of the team with the coach and GM after the season is over. Other than that stay the hell away from the team.

They meet with area scouts and discuss their players that they have scouted and discuss how they ranked them and what it was based on. They do that for probably as many as 30 or 40 players per position depending on their needs. With QBs it may be only the top 10 and so on. Then the coaches decided how they want to rank them according to their fit. That's when things can go off the rails.

Then it may or may not be a Dan thing. Just saying you cannot assume what Dave prefers because he worked with what he was given.

It just goes to show he's still too involved with the day to day football decisions.

It doesn't have to be unified. It can be anything want want to say about how they feel about the state of the team. The funnier the better.

Was he involved in the decisions to draft any of those guys? Because if not then that assumption has no basis.

I predict that none of that happens. Mrs.Tepper will take over and call the shots before any of that goes down.

At some point the TV stations will pick up on it and ask Tepper directly.

The comp pick is dependent on how many FA you sign and their contract value. You cannot count on that unless you play for it and not sign anyone other than scrubs with cheap contracts. Even then it counts against you as it may turn into a 7th round pick or none at all.

Hell make your own sign and put it in your yard. If enough people do that it will get attention.

They find as many players as they can that fits what the coaches are looking for. The coaches and GM sort them out and set their board.

If someone offers even a 2nd you take it and never look back. No way in hell they are getting a 1st for him. It's going to be a 4th at best.

Fantasy football is ruining the way some of y'all think.

None of that's fine. It influences the coaches decisions. That's what Dan is for.

I look at it as accelerating his exit from them. Tepper has to accept that Young cannot play in this league and the only way that happens is to throw his narrow ass back out there for a couple of games and watch him fail yet again. Not my rules it's Teppers.
