Tepper speaks on the record about the GM and also comments on QB 

 

 

Notice the line "it doesn't hurt to have a QB that can take you there" referencing the Superbowl.

 

Doesn't take much to read between the lines here.

 

We getting a QB, ladies and gents.

The final weeks down the stretch of the season Tepper and Rhule both kinda lost their patience with playing their cards close to the vest by trying to keep talking Teddy up. Both made comments strongly suggesting Teddy wasn't the guy.

I really wish we had played Walker or Grier. But then again we might have won another game.

This is from Voth, so yes, I’d say getting a qb is going to happen. Doesn’t necessarily mean Watson, but one will be on the roster.

To me this means that the front office is trying to make a move and it’s going to be on HOU to say no.....I don’t think many people have said no to Tepper recently.

Reading between the lines this interview confirms what I thought - that a couple of candidates wanted a traditional GM role and were ruled out / ruled themselves out (Dodds/ Paton).

Sounds like Fitterer sold Tepper on his experience in working under a similar model - albeit not quite the same (yet).

I do wonder if Tepper also brought in a guy that Rhule wasn't familiar with because he didn't want Rhule to get too comfortable - especially in that three-way power structure.

I don't think he's ever been seen as 'the guy', besides by a certain bizarre portion of the fan base. He was signed as a steady QB to tide us over, who was young / talented enough to maybe become a long term answer.

Unfortunately for Bridgewater his play dropped off down the stretch, post injury, which obviously frustrated Rhule. I'd be shocked if he sees the third year of that contract.

I'd say that's reading into it a bit.

Voth isn't actually saying anything except that he thinks the picture is funny. He makes that clear in the response.

As in not even a decent stop gap bridge type of guy. I think the point of Teddy was to have a decent QB do we could take our time and not feel pressured. It backfired. We're not even hiding the reality that we're being pressured into making a move at QB. Honestly, it's relieving. You can't compete for championships in today's NFL without a legit franchise QB.

I took it as it’s possible. John Ellis has said the same thing on his twitter, something along the lines of it’s something to monitor.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
