Perhaps you're right. But I think Tepper is hedging. What he's saying is good in theory, but the fact is is that someone has to have the final say...unless they would come up with a plan that both the GM and the HC would have to agree and if not to abandon discussed player. That would be highly unusual if not highly unrealistic. Someone's going to have to have the last word. In that sense, I'm thinking that the power structure almost has to be dependent upon who becomes the HC. 

Let's say that in Tepper's perfect world that we were able to acquire Payton on the cheap (which I know is not realistic or likely, but this is a hypothetical example), do you actually believe that he wouldn't give Payton that power? And I think the same reasoning applies to Tomlin or Harbaugh. I believe Tepper will look at things on a case-by-case basis. Sure, he has some ideas now, based upon the Rhule error--err, era, but he's ultimately not going to let that hinder him from giving an actual NFL-level coach with a certain body of work more control than he might theorize is correct at this point. 

Do I think that he'll totally neuter Fitterer? No. But I don't think he'll let Scott stand in the way of perceived progress either. 

Tepper's mistake was to let an unproven college coach have too much control, and he knows it on some level, if not many levels.

Also was reported that he wants to go with a young offensive guy because that's where the league is headed.

Pretty sure Payton, Harbaugh and Dan Quinn are all out.

I mean, sure, but I have a hard time believing that he has to have a young guy because ostensibly all these other teams have young guys (which is somewhat of a red herring).

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
