No, we wouldn't.

Tepper doesn't know how to evaluate football players, and he himself admits that.

If Rhule and Fitterer don't work out, then he can fire them and get somebody else, but stepping in himself would be a dumbass move worthy of Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder.

Doesn't take much evaluation to look at a guy like Deshaun Watson and say "Hey, that guy's pretty good. Let's go get him." Draft prospects are a very different ballgame. Hell, everyone sucks at evaluating them. Some just suck worse than others.

Linville you're spot on.

Certain moves are of a magnitude and associated cost that there is zero chance they are made without the full involvement of the owner.

As for the draft, there ain't a subject matter known to man for which David Tepper can't get himself up to an expert/elite level in very short order...

...the more involvement by Tepper, the better the Panthers will operate.

Except all of the moves made this offseason have been made without David Tepper's direction.

I get that you want to believe David Tepper is running everything, but the people who are actually involved say he's letting them do their jobs without interference. He doesn't dictate anything. He just asks questions.

And despite your hero worship, that's actually the best thing he could do.

As usual you completely misrepresent the situation.

The Appaloosa Model is collaborative in nature and requires that everyone work together to get to consensus decisions...

...and you can be assured Tepper is a party to any and all discussions where decisions of consequence are made.

You're clueless bro, log off.

Well, in my defense, I get my information from the people who are actually involved with the team.

I realize you think watching Showtime is a better source, but I disagree.

Again, a complete dodge on your part --- your rain-man like upchucking of "Showtime" is laughable.

Would you like to dig into the details again so you can understand the model?  (because it's clear you have no understanding, at all)

For starters, who does Fitterer report to?

What are your "people" telling you there?

I just can't see it. All this talk about the long-term plan. Acknowledging how adding Teddy was a mistake in terms of building for the future. Adding a soon to be 38 year old QB? I just can't see it.

Don't get me wrong, I think Darnold is a big mistake, but at his age and with his raw talent, he at least fits the mold of that long-term build for the future outlook.

If you can get Aaron Rodgers...you go get Aaron Rodgers. It would be an incredibly poor business decision by Tepper and Fitterer NOT to get Rodgers. 

We were a reliable 4th quarter QB away from the playoffs last year. Rodgers elevates us to competing with the Bucs for the South and presumably the NFC.

You pluck quotes from these guys doing their media appearances and pass them off as facts. 

You should probably quit doing that.

You think Matt Rhule saying "Dave leaves the football stuff to me and Scott" is taken out of context?

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
