KAM, Poles and Rhule would be an amazing braintrust. Add in Colbert as a senior adviser in a bit of a less involved role as he transitions into retirement and I could not be more excited about the future of this team.

Not impressed with KAM. It's funny the Browns get the GM I wanted and turn it around that year, the Browns actually won a playoff game wow. The multiple hire sounds cool. Maybe flip it and get the GM that Rhule requested and let him have an Analitics expert to make Tepper happy.

It feels like Tepper doesn't appreciate continuity in this stage of his ownership.

If Tepper throws big money at a hot assistant GM and the Panthers start showing progress then that assistant will just get hired away in a year or two. Same issue they're having with Joe Brady right now. 

Would rather just have the best person for the job instead of thinking outside the box.

What's the alternative? Hiring a lesser candidate in the name of continuity? Sounds like a Rivera-esque approach to me.

Yeah.  It sounds like we should get the guy nobody else wants. 

Seriously, losing assistants is the cost of success.  Everyone wants a piece of it.

Crazy? Or crazy like a fox? 

Crazy.

I know Tepper loves the whole idea of doing something offbeat and it turning out great. You know who else liked sort of thing? Rob Ryan, Chip Kelly...oh, and Marty Hurney.

When he was asked what he wanted in a GM, Matt Rhule made it clear that he wanted a talent evaluator that could help him put together a good roster. So if Tepper wants to get goofy with it he's going against the wishes of his head coach.

Said before, if I had a financial question I'd certainly ask David Tepper. When it comes to football though, I doubt I'd let him set my fantasy football lineup.

As an NFL owner, he hasn't proven a thing yet.

Everyone loves the idea of getting the smartest GM and the smartest coach etc. That’s hard to do though.

Building a team of people that together is just as good or better than some savant isn’t a bad idea and may be better. 
 

To me, it’s very encouraging that our owner isn’t just hiring some GM because he doesn’t have any alternative.

We need innovative thinking if we’re going to get an advantage.

Another way to think of this as well is by hiring multiple guys they may be less likely to be plucked out from our front office.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
