You know him. He was the guy standing behind Ron in almost every on-field press conference.

It was him, Marty, and Tep who went to Rhule’s house to hire him.

He was with Luke when Luke made that retirement video.

He’s been around for a long time. Players seem to love him but his accedence past PR guy is a little concerning.

I dont know why this is weird... plenty of teams have exective advisors. I think the fact that the article is comparing Drummond to Easterby automatically gives it negative context, but what about:

1. Tom Coughlin
2. Bruce Allen

3. Stephen Jones

4. Sashi Brown

5. Mike Brown

 

Those are just off the top of my head. All serve roles as advisors to the owner of the respective franchise. This is not out of the ordinary.

unfortunately, I do know who Jack Easterby is and familiar with the Rasputin like hold he has on evangelical McNair family. Big yikes. 

Drummond is the guy you used to always see chaperoning Cam between interviews and would stand off to the side during the pressers and cue him/them on what was appropriate and when the presser was over and such.  I always saw him but didn't know who he was until last season.  He hasn't been nearly as visible over the last year or so, but that's apparently tly because he went from a communications guy to football ops.  Not good.

Agree a guy who doesn’t know crap ab football besides being a fan and really no formal training in sports administration and talent evaluation …don’t need a guy like that making personnel decisions

So who made the personnel decisions Rhule or Drummond? This is all getting too confusing.

He doesn’t make player personnel decisions. He’s basically Tepper’s right hand guy. 
 

His full title is:  Senior Advisor to the Chairman and Vice President of External Football Operations.

He's a former communications guy who Tepper elevated to Vice President of Football Operations.

He's also one of the three people responsible for hiring Matt Rhule (Marty Hurney and David Tepper being the other two).

I don't know that the Jack Easterby comparisons are fair. Drummond doesn't seem to be that kind of personality.

Now with that said, if Tepper is looking for advice on anything football related, Drummond isn't really qualified to give it.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
