Albert Breer also has us taking Fields, believes Tepper is pushing for it.

My understanding is Teddy had a total of $10,000,000 of guaranteed money left on his Panthers deal and that he's going to collect all of it -- that's not a pay cut.  If I'm incorrect please do fill me in.   

Personally I hoped he wouldn't be traded but I certainly didn't guarantee it would never happen.

I predicted Hurney would stick and when he didn't I was first-in taking credit for being wrong. 

This guy @Mr. Scot is a complete blowhard who is literally the single least-informed person on earth as it goes to how guys like Tepper go about conducting business...

...he is however a 1st ballot Hall of Famer as it goes to screen time and sheer volume of posts! (and we're talking a decade+ track record, Tom Brady like I tell ya!)

Good onya Scot!

 


He took the paycut to just the guaranteed money for this trade to work. If he stayed a Panther he would make even more. Sounds like he knew he would get cut if this trade didn’t work and lose the money anyway, but that’s just me speculating...

So we'll take that as none, no, no, no, and no.  Obviously you're not an accredited investor.   

Our argument here isn't about "football"...

...it's about business operations. 

Tepper has 100% overlayed/installed the Appaloosa Model on/in the Panthers organization and this is perfectly clear to everyone, everywhere...except you Mr. Ostrich.

In the other thread you did confirm that Fitterer reports to Rhule, right?

Is sizzle buzz, slang for smoking crack??

He would have gotten $10M to sit on his couch for a year too

Yeah now he has a chance to push Lock and get some playing time, possibly get a nice contract next year. He doesn’t strike me as a stat at home and not play kind of guy. Most of these guys are competitive and love playing the game, it’s how they hit here.

Whether he will or won't influence the decision, don't know.

What I do know is that he shouldn't, and if he's smart, he won't.

And to be clear, we don't know for sure what he wants, but I'd say that even if he agreed with everything I think they should do. I'm not gonna change my opinion on owner interference depending on whether he agrees with me or not. It's bad either way.

Let the football people do their jobs.

I'm in the group that thinks Tepper is not telling them who to select but telling them to find the future franchise QB, whoever Fits thinks that guy could be.  I'm sure QB is at the top of the list of priorities. 

Remember, Fit said that he believed you draft a qb every draft.  They will take a QB at some point in this draft and every draft going forward until they get the franchise and his heir on the roster.

I want to see Mister Scot tell Tepper to his face that he shouldn't have any say in his investment.

That woukd be a bloodbath.

I'd be more than happy to. You actually think there'd be some danger in that? 😄

What a stupid post, but considering the source...

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
