The only reasons for optimism are that the interview list looks solid, the fact that whoever he is listening to, they are not name Marty "Meatballs" Hurney, and The Process made him look like such a huge moron that he will probably take a pause before doing anything.

None of that guarantees success, but at least they point toward a path to it.

But am I optimistic?  Hardly.  We've grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory before.  I'd be more upbeat if we had somebody with some experience in this area playing a major role in it.

I suspect there is an office full of knowledgeable advisors whose primary job is to assist David Tepper in deciding what his next big investment on Wall Street is going to be.  Tepper likely pays them handsomely for their well considered advice.

So, why would David go cheap when selecting his next field general for the Panthers?  Bring in NFL consultants with a proven track record of turning around troubled franchises.  AFAIK there is no one within the Panthers organization that has a history of getting these sort of decisions right.

Frankly, thinking Tepper's wife and Scott Fitterer are Dave's key advisors in this process leaves way too much to chance. 

I would imagine Dan Morgan and perhaps Pat Stewart are part of the search as well.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
