Tepper redeems the franchise..

Yeah, got to pump the breaks on us suddenly being well run. 

Tepper finally admitted to a mistake that there was no escaping from it being one.    And he pointlessly wasted 2023 because he still couldn’t admit it.  Water was clearly wet after 2022.  

It’s good he took a 180 approach on the new staff but Tepper is still Tepper.   

throwing cash at coaching names post Rhule doesn’t mean our front office suddenly becomes top end.   As of right now, we traded away CMC, DJ Moore and gave up a bunch to pick a QB….despite living in the top 10 in the Tepper era. 

Nothing about Tepper says he is hands off or a sound leader of a NFL franchise yet.  Maybe he will grow into one.  That’s certainly the hope.  Maybe he will just continue to appear to be the primary problem.

anyone that has thrown Shade at Tepper at any point is crazy. it was clear after year 1 Rhule was the shits. Tepper is aggressive and that is what you want in an owner. his best trait though is he is not afraid to admit something didnt work any move away from it.

You forget history in favor of that rosey picture my friend.

Are you a doctor?!

Aggressive wouldn’t be my #1 trait.   That can easily lead to just lots of dumb things.   

Tepper couldn’t admit to the mistake after we became a laughing stock after 2022.  He wasted an entire season in 2023 because he couldn’t admit the obvious.

Lots of owners are hands on.

I’d say the majority are going to be in the mix for a #1 overall pick, especially one where they have up a lot of capital to get it. 

I think he will have input and it will matter.  Which makes sense.  

But he won’t be the one to make the pick and he has pretty much deferred to his coaches when the pick was made. If he didn’t then we would have Fields or Herbert since he wanted to move up for Herbert and wanted Fields as well. 
But he let Rhule pick both times. No reason to believe he won’t do it again with the new coaches.

You rarely know the truth.  Sometimes it leaks out and sometimes that takes years.   Most owners I think are heavily involved in a #1 overall….especially one where you give up a ton for it. Which is rare.    Owners are the constant.   Which is why they rarely leave massive decisions completely to temp hires/new ones.

Going out and getting the #1 pick isn't going unappreciated here, what will become unappreciated is games. Everybody knew we were picking Cam. Let the community and player enjoy a coronation a celebration instead of needless nail-biting for the pleasure of exactly one.

I agree, but they need to hit on the QB selection. 

I'm a lot less concerned with who they pick than I am who makes the pick.

As long as that decision is made by the football people, I'll be okay with it.

(even if it isn't my first choice)

I think what Tepper could change about his leadership especially as it relates to a public/private asset is more publicly deliberate moves. That's one thing we could appreciate about Mr Richardson you KNEW every season the direction the ship was going in a very deliberate and steady hand. 

We knew JR was going to spend every OTHER year, thus the huddle coined "one step forward two steps back".

We knew what would happen if a player disgraced himself in public. We ALL knew what was next from JR.

What I would say to Tepper is be more deliberate with these moves so the fans can celebrate together WITH you instead of the corporate cloak and dagger, information, disinformation route that has lead to his prior disasters and misjudgements.

Come to the huddle big boy. We're here to help.

The man is human.  He came in, and like ANYONE that doesn't have experience,  he made some mistakes. He has also owned everyone of them.  So from my perspective he never really deserved the hate, other than holding onto Rhule too long.  His desire to build a winner has never waivered.  

This definitely is the direction we as fans, have been wanting to see.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
