Really, really good read.

I was playing for the Packers and didn't know how long I would stay there, but I always knew that if I continued playing, I didn't really want to go anywhere else but Carolina. There was nothing else but home.

It was an emotional decision. A gut decision. I didn't study the roster, or look at any stats from last year or anything. It just felt right. The energy was right. I wanted to come home.

...

I'm playing every day for this locker room, and for these fans and our community. For my state. For the Carolinas. This is my home. I want us to celebrate a championship. Together.

That is a great read.  Pep has grown a lot.  Would have never thought we would get that kind of stuff from him a few years ago.  Also, love how he has become a leader....in his own way and time.  So great to hear him say how much he cares about the team.

Favorite football player of all time. My first football memories are of Pep at UNC. He's the first HOF player Ive had the pleasure of watching his whole career. Having him come home and win a ring... talk about full circle. I want it for him this year man. I really think this is the last year of our window. these next 6 weeks could be the wildest ride as fans in our whole lives. GET HYPE!!!!!

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.
