Ellis - "When it comes to big time issues, like quarterback, the owner is pretty involved."

Odd since allegedly we passed on Fields who Tepper favored…

Just because he is involved doesn’t mean he decided to overrule everyone.  Maybe he wanted to but decided not to.

Either way, when it’s a high pick and a QB is involved the owner is almost always involved regardless of the team, none of this is earth shattering.

A QB is the face of a franchise, the franchise that the owner spend millions/billions of their money on.  Of course they are involved.

I was already kind of prepared to see the team take Pickett, but if Tepper is involving himself then it seems even more likely.

I think both of them going to Pitt is being over blown.  It would be the height of stupidity and hubris to take a guy who should not go anywhere near 6, just because he went to the same school as you, 35 years later. But then again this is the Panthers we're talking about so.....

I'd be concerned if he wasn't involved.

I think it depends on what that involvement looks like in Tepper's current structure. Voicing your desire as an owner and participating to shape the 'culture'? Sure. Meddling in actual football evaluation and potentially altering what the football people will do? Not so much.

I don't think Tepper being involved necessarily means we HAVE to be taking Kenny Pickett. That's an overblown connection, IMO. That's not to say we won't take Pickett, but I think there's just as good a chance that we take Malik Willis if we go QB.

I think if Tepper's influence means anything it's more likely to mean we go QB over OT, not for one specific QB over another.

      Sure we'll be involved in talks but I can't see any scenario where we trade LaMelo, Kon or Brandon. And I can't see any scenario where we get another superstar without including 1 of those guys. Hence my use of the word "realistically" in that post.

      Canales handing over playcalling duties

      By strato · Posted

      Oh yeah the switching up the play calling is often the first punt. It usually isn’t a voluntary concession.    Except I think this is possibly more an honest self scout than pressure from the owner type of a thing. Is this a defensive move reeking of fear like it normally is, trying to placate an unhappy owner/fan base or a sincere attempt to improve the results? I am leaning sincere.   I say that because I get zero sense from Tepper that he is even one foot off the wagon. He seems to be very much on board, going by that McAfee interview. The average fans are the same. All bought in after making the playoffs.

      Wow, I'm shocked. I wonder if they reviewed all the games and came to the conclusion of the play calls and the quarterback did not mix that well. Granted, I think I know which side carries the brunt of that blame, but it's just another step in the "Is Bryce our guy?" experience I suppose.  I do wonder how much this will free up Dave though as well and help Idzik grow and potentially get interview opportunities.
