Prediction: time for Tepper to meddle

Everyone has been so worried about Tepper being one of those hands on owners that meddles in the day to day operations, a Jerry Jones or Snyder type.

If anything he has been the opposite, he has been more patient than most expected and he has seemed to stay out of the day to day operations and has let the "football people" make football decisions.

I think we have reached a point were he might set some directives.  Time to find a QB, enough with the experiments, everything we do from this point on should be for one goal, to find a franchise QB.

I'm not saying he will pick the actual QB in the draft but I think there will be a lot of pressure to draft a QB this year, which can be dangerous when you start talking yourself into someone, but we have reached that point.  Like I said he might not pick the actual QB but I could see a lot of people in the organization hoping it is Sam Howell.  Being a Carolina guy would be good for the fan base.

Lets be honest, best thing that could happen to this organization this year is to not win another game.  In reality that probably wont happen, defense is too good and there are some really bad teams in the league this year.  Drafting in that 6-10 range instead of that 12-16 range would be huge though, and even then might have to do a trade up.  I could see anyone on the roster being available as part of a trade up along with picks.

Bull. He's the one driving the QB at any cost, even if they're terrible bus. 

I don't think so.  I think Rhule, Hurney, Fitt, someone convinced him they coudl win now with these guys.

Tepper wants his Roethlisberger.  Franchise guy that you draft and he plays for you for 15 years.  A QB that you helps you win, not one that you win in spite of.

I’m ready for the meddling when it comes to finding a QB.

Agreed. We could have possibly had fields and just kept our 2nd and 4th picks which was very important to me. To top it off NOT paying sam darnold 18 million dollars next seasons. Crazy how many dominos dont fall with a simple change of direction.

This makes no sense.  Whos job was it then? 

 

It was his job and he did it very poorly. Keeping Hurney as a crutch and hiring Rhule. All I was saying is that expecting Tepper to meddle in a positive way is a bit hopeful for me at this point.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
