I'm deeply concerned about the decisions we've been making at the QB position.

The billionaire ownership of the franchise doesn't seem to consider the quality of the starting QB position as being very important so far.

I mean, that's been made very clear for those paying attention and not hating over the last couple of years.

I think Tepper understands how vital the QB position is. I just think he fully bought into Rhule and has stayed hands off in letting Rhule handle the football operation. I'm unsure of how long he'll stay patient there though. He said soon after buying the Panthers that this is a .500 league and the key elements for being competitive year in and year out are a head coach, a GM, and a QB. Those are the three must-haves. St some point, I think Tepper is going to pressure Rhule and company to stop beating around the bush and go all in on a QB. Stop trying to get lucky and score a steal.

lol, love you bro.

But BILLIONAIRES don't go "hands off", lol.

C'mon man.  ESPECIALLY in an environment all about "rep" like the NFL.

C'MON MAN.

Why the fug do you think they buy in? "Oh, no worries, I'll just let other people run this poo!"

Do you really believe that?  That's why one of Carolinas primary opponents continues to fail (Atlanta, a.k.a. Arthur Blank).  Do you think Carolina's billionaire is any different?

With all due respect, if your answer is yes, then lolllllll.

Tepper reportedly wanted Fields. He let Rhule and Fitts pass.

OK so there are 3 options here.

- Tepper is a billionaire owner who doesn't give a poo about his money and lets the people he hires below him to make every decision without his input.

- Tepper is a billionaire owner who values his money and hires people to make decisions that the billionaire owner prefers.

- Tepper is a billionaire owner who controls every aspect of the organization.

I don't know about you, but at least in terms of modern Corporate Tech, I haven't seen much tendency of Corporate Billionaire owners to parse out responsibility for their corporate investments to lower-level flunkies (albeit NFL or otherwise).

Maybe you have that faith in people.  God bless you.

I don't.

You want a strong man to sweep in and save the franchise. I don't think you're going to find many hedge fund managers who are also elite football talent evaluators and football coaches, hence why they employee GMs, coaches, and scouts. If those guys don't deliver, they'll get fired and replaced by guys who hopefully will.

OK, good luck in your lottery then.

I've lived in the Atlanta are since 1999 and have observed first hand how that "billionaire man" lottery turns into results.

Good luck.

      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
