How I feel about the future of the Carolina Panthers. We finally have an owner who will not accept incompetence or mediocrity.  He cares about the football side of the franchise beyond just trying to make money.  
 

i believe that Tepper will not be a meddler but someone who just wants to put a stamp on his franchise.  If we’re all honest, we would do the same if we were the owners.

Frankly it's a lot of what I was wanting to see and wanted to see last year, tbh. 

First step, realizing that the house needs reconstruction and committing to it.

Step 2, demo.

Step 3, rebuild. 

I'm anxious to see what this rebuild looks like. It's given me something to hope for because just a few days ago, that was something I didn't have in regards to this team. 

I'm not a fan of uncertainty, but I will gladly take that over a mediocre status quo and a trajectory that honestly was pretty underwhelming.

everybody wants to win. Everybody says they want to win. 1 key injury or one bad bounce of the ball or even one bad call by the ref and you lose. Any team can say they don't settle for mediocrity but the truth is most teams would be changing people every 3 years for the exception of a few. I believe in Tepper and what he wants but it's not like business where you have hard facts and rules and move forward. Ask the Saints last year who should have been in the Super Bowl. 

Heck, that refs overturns the drop call by Cotchery in the SB and we probably go one to win that game.

Yes, I think it's too early to call Tepper a meddler at this point.  It makes perfect sense for him to put his own coach in place now.  To be fair, a lot of owners probably would not have given Rivera another shot this year after last year's epic collapse.  I know there's a lot of concern about Hurney, but with Tepper bringing in the VP/Asst GM I feel a lot better about this.  I'm just happy we're going in a different direction.  What we were doing wasn't working, so at least now steps are being taken that will hopefully have us trending upward within the next few years.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
