[Beerfacedlegend]

I want someone aggressive in free agency that will sign big names no more of this cap bs being cheap got us no where!!!! No where

About the 4th version of this and Scot has upped each thread.

Tepper is looking for the Rhule-version of a GM, a builder, open to different ideas, main focus is finding ANY EDGE in becoming a winner, not set in traditional ways, "nfl young" etc etc.

That SF guy fits many of those, I think this is NOT a candidate, but someone with his profile isishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sashi_Brown#:~:text=He also played a role,part of the 2017 season.

Lawyer background, Ivy leaguer, Big time outside the box thinker. Hell someone with computer programs abilities even. 

[Mr. Scot]

Something to watch, re: Pat Stewart

While league rules prevent the Panthers from interviewing GM candidates currently employed elsewhere until the season is over, they are free to interview internal candidates if they wish.

Thus, if Pat Stewart (or Samir Suleiman) were indeed legitimate candidates, you could conceivably see them interviewed within the next few weeks.

If they're not, it could just be that the team feels it's too busy to do something like that right now...

...or it could mean that they're not legitimate candidates.

Excellent writeups so far, sir.... as per usual. 

Peters is that Dodds-esque, low-key rumblings vibe that knowledgeable front office circles talk about, but are overshadowed by the Caserios and Dorseys that the media loves. I would LOVE Peters here in Carolina and I think his hire would send ripples through the NFC in making us a feared team for the next decade.

Any thoughts on Suleiman and background on whether he can take that step into a larger responsibility as GM? He checks off a few boxes on Tepper's list for sure.

Any choice of: Dodds, Peters, or Caserio would make me happy, though I feel that our eventual new GM will have ties to Rhule in some way, and I don't think Dodds or Caserio does. 

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not a fan of Suleiman as he's primarily a numbers guy, not a talent evaluator. Rhule has said he wants a talent evaluator.

For what it's worth, Joe Person said that Matt Rhule is acquainted with Ed Dodds.

[Mr. Scot]

Joe Schoen's name thrown out by agent Brett Tessler...

To be clear, I don't know that this is based on any inside information. I also don't know whether or not Tessler is Schoen's agent.

[Mr. Scot]

From checking various sources, the names I'm taking most seriously right now.

Jeff Ireland
Adam Peters
Ed Dodds
Pat Stewart (though I think he's more likely an Assistant GM candidate)
Joe Schoen
Nick Caserio (maybe, still a little iffy on him)
Lake Dawson

[Pazhoosier89]

Hope they give Lake Dawson a real shot after that sham interview process last time. Any of those names sound good to me.

[Mr. Scot]

Lake Dawson has actually interviewed here twice. The first time was the cycle where we hired Dave Gettleman and the second was the Rooney Rule interviews before anointing Hurney.

Joe Person doesn't think Dawson has much of a shot because of this, but Ian Rapoport listed him as a likely candidate and pointed to the connection between the Bills and the Panthers as a point in his favor.

[DaveThePanther2008]

After your brief on Adam Peters he's the one that really seems like would do us well.

Thanks for the quality content Mr. Scot

Chad has swing and misses but check the date on this lol

[Mr. Scot]

The stuff I've been reading about San Francisco is kind of funny.

It seems that John Lynch isn't really the talent evaluator there. That job belongs to Peters. Lynch said to be more of a CEO type who coordinates the guys that do different jobs.

Makes it sound like they'd take a serious hit if they lose Peters.

Sounds like Peters would be comfortable having an equal-partnership and being on the same level as Rhule...

...both reporting directly to Tepper like Peters did with Lynch.
