I saw an earlier post from the Athletic on Peters, for which I don't have a subscription. BUT, I did come across a tweet today with this article by a Panther fan who started looking at GM candidates last year when they let Rivera go, figuring they'd both be gone. And alright, it got me. I've been skeptical based on Peter's QB drafts, but this finds a lot more about his character that I like:

That article is impressive. Make we wonder why we had to do 15 interviews.  No meatballs?

Meatballs are the backbone of any successful business, really.

But I think it's just cause it's Tepper first time doing this and wanted to understand the process and figure out what kind of GM he wants by talking to candidates from all walks of life and front office positions. Plus, he's collaborating with Rhule so they have to agree, or at least find a happy medium.

My guess is Tepper will hire a GM Rhule wants, but also create an Analytics department with it's own head to collaborate and come to a consensus with the GM, HC and Tepper. Still giving the GM the final say, but giving him their reports too.

What part of the Appaloosa model are meatballs?

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      People are using this "three year period" to gloss over the reality that he was very mid last year and in Purdy's case, "last year" means 40% of his starts. I don't "hate" Purdy, I just think he's a very middle of the pack starter and you can't pay those guys $50M+ a year. GMs and coaches can because they just want to keep their jobs. But as a fanbase if you're wanting to compete for SBs, ugh... you're basically resigning yourself to mediocrity with decisions like this.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Unless a miracle happens and we're legit SB contenders, I want to just miss the playoffs due to some close losses, not win the division to lose in the first round. We finally have all of our picks again next year, I'd rather be picking 5-7 spots higher in each round, while at the same time, then having a 2nd or 3rd place schedule next year instead of a 1st place one. I just can't see any scenario where we are true contenders this year, but we should find out if Bryce can be our QB of the future.  If he isn't, then we're not making the playoffs anyways and will have a high pick to replace him.  If he is, it means 2026 is the real opening of our SB window once we add some more defensive pieces, so I'd rather go into that season picking earlier and have an easier schedule. And yes, I know people will say think like "you need to win to gain confidence and experience, blah blah blah" But just missing out on the playoffs because you lost couple close games is certainly a way to make a team hungry going into the offseason and keep them motivated to be better. I've said it before and still think it holds true, we need to look at the Lions and hope to repeat their path. Our last few years were their early 2020s when they sucked.  This year can be our version of their 2022 when they missed the playoffs in week 17.  Then our 2026 can be their 2023 when they made a run to the NFC Championship game (and really should have won it).  Which then puts us in line to be one of the best teams in the league going into 2027, as they were last year.

      Hmmmmm, sounds like a familiar fear And sure, a big part of my fear was the injury concern (that will always follow Bryce around) but the everything else I said is the same. If he's too good to let walk in FA but not good enough to justify a top end contract, we're in the worst possible situation
