Some decisions that involve personnel  are also business decisions.   It it is a business first and foremost for Tepper. 

I think you are overplaying the current Panther PR that surrounds a green HC and green GM.   I'm sure they have been given some rope to get started.  But NFL teams have always been mom and pop shops.  Tepper will be in the mix.  That's just the way it is in the NFL.  Degrees vary.  But there is no such thing as an actual hands off owner IMO.  

Expand  

Guys who have been in the football business for decades taking advice from someone who's never done anything close to what they're doing?

Yeah, sure 😕

You are clueless about the business of business...

...100% c-l-u-e-l-e-s-s.

I don't give a sh-t about business.

I care about football.

(and no, they're not the same; not even close)

The Panthers are a business, a

solid medium sized business...

...the product just happens to be football.  

Tepper is on top of everything, period.

Equally familiar with "bird on the head", "bird on the shoulder", "bird chewing holes in my shirt" and several others.

Try "bird chewing through the $300 complete in box collector video game" sometime.

The Panthers organization is a business, but football is a game / sport.

Sports require coaching, scouting and talent evaluation. David Tepper does none of those things, and is in fact not qualified to do them (something he freely admits).

That's why, as Matt Rhule stated, "he leaves the football to us", with "us" being Rhule, Fitterer, Morgan and their people.

I get that you want it to be true, but it isn't, and all the wishing in the world won't change that.

And sorry, but "who does (whomever) report to" isn't a clever comeback. It's basically just an admission that you've got nothing else to come back with.

He is definitely on top of you.

He's definitely got a weird sort of "hero worship" thing for Tepper, no doubt.

And I mean, that's fine. By all means, he can be admired for his accomplishments if one chooses to do so. But acting like he picks the players, sets the scheme or does any of the other stuff that falls to the coaches and front office is just delusional.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
