What we're learning about David Tepper


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Things we've definitely learned...

- Number one, in-season firings? Not a problem (clearly).

- He's got a close relationship with the Kraft family (that one turns all kinds of things on their head).

- He wants to expand the football operations (woefully neglected under Jerry Richardson).

- He wants a coach who believes heavily in analytics (already knew that one, but it's valid).

 

Things we might be learning...

- He may be looking more at the Patriot Way than the Steeler Way (or an amalgam of the two).

- Might be okay with retreads (if the above is so)

- Is apparently going to handle the head coaching search himself.

- Also expected to go after an offensive head coach.

 

 

Get ready for an interesting offseason.

As much as I despise Brady and Belichick, I am grudgingly forced to admit their skill, thus I can live with The Patriot way if it involves NOT getting lockedinto any particular mindset except winning. (Something I admire about Belicheck, he’s not married to any particular scheme system etc) but doesn’t involve cheating.

I am excited again to be a Panthers's fan. I don't know how all this shakes down but we have a chance at being better. There are definitely some scary possibilities moving forward but this team needed a change and they finally got one. I hope he can keep up the great work.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
