Someone recently compared Panthers exec Steven Drummond's influence to Easterby's (still not buying that) but Easterby himself is out.

I could see Drummond being similar on some levels.  He might not be the toxic figure Easterby is....but he could still be way overpowered in the org given his background.

From everything I heard about Easterby then it is a great move for them. I am shocked their owner did this because he seemed like a great fit there, not good but fit. What is next Kiem gets fired along with Clingsberries? Bad NFL owners doing good things? Craziness

The basic comparison is that he's a guy influencing major football decisions despite having pretty much zero football background.

And toxic or not, it is fair to point out he played a big role in the hiring of Matt Rhule.

Does make you wonder if Rhule's colossal failure has any effect on his status.

I would imagine it might.  I think Rhule was a such a dumpster fire that I would imagine it is a sore spot with Tepper. 

and Drummond isn't a Tepper guy.  He is another hold over from the prior era.  Pretty much the last one of note.

Valid. We'd heard Tepper trusted him a lot (having him be part of the coaching search validated that).

But now? 😕

I think Tepper would be best served to purge any holdovers from the prior era that are either not a good fit or don’t have sufficient NFL experience. We need more “football people” making decisions not JAGs.

pls no

WTF, just when I thought Tepper couldn't possibly get any stupider this comes out. What a disaster this team is under Tepper. I honestly do wonder if he's intentionally running it into the ground so Charlotte/NC don't give him money for a new stadium and he can move the team. The soccer thing was so he can divert the blame saying he wanted to be here long term but the city/state gave him no choice. What a piece of sh*t this dude is.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
