Tepper redeems the franchise..

[Daddy_Uncle]

I do wish all these new coaches and players had a nice practice facility to work out of

He appears to have hired the right people let’s see if he can get out the way and let them do their jobs

To early, he can still screw up by selecting Levis first overall.

all this hoopla of "but Tepper likes this guy" in contrast to "while Reich likes this guy" ..

 

thats all a bunch of misdirection and smokescreen. 

 

sure, like all of us he has his preference, but theres no doubt in my mind hes opening his wallet and stepping aside and letting Reich and co. cook

Getting out of the way and allowing the experienced football people to do their thing is paramount to having success

step one to this is hiring experienced NFL people to start with.

even if the team sucks, i won't be as mad because at least they tried this offseason. i only get mad when they stay complacent and keep obvious losers around for years past their expiration date.

I was immediately sold on Stroud, but the more research I do, the more I keep wondering about Young.  Aside from his size, he checks all the boxes---I know Stroud can check boxes too....I think it will become more clear--but I tried to keep an open mind and not lock in on one decision in early March--and the more I research Young, the more I think, after his pro day, people will start favoring him,  Most of the "experts" on NFL network, including a former GM Marc Ross who is firm about it...SO CONFUSED--either might be OK, but if one fails and one succeeds, it will haunt us forever....Unless we take Levis.  Then we need the suicide hotline.

got to consider that box that says "Injury" by it too...........

I'm hopeful of this being the case but also we need to start seeing results before he deserves any praise. His first 5 years or so have been one of the worst among any owners in all of pro sports.

I am leaning toward C.J. Stroud as the favorite because he not only checks the boxes but is Reich's type of QB to scheme around.

However, if the Panthers decide to select Bryce Young a great QB in his own right, I will not be disappointed with the selection.

I'd say Mr. Tepper has gone a long way in redeeming himself by finally realizing he isn't going to outsmart and outplay 31 other teams by bringing in an outsider with virtually no pro football experience.

I would have thought it would have been obvious from day one that Mr. Tepper's only real advantage over other teams was an unlimited budget to hire his coaching staff.  So, why not try and hire the most experienced and successful NFL coaches you can find?

It took him five years, but the good news is, it appears that Mr. Tepper and the Panthers are finally heading in the right direction.

Tepper by his own admission and to his credit, did admit he made a big mistake in that regard, one I seriously doubt he will make again

Not his job to pick the QB. 

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.  

[top dawg]

Tepper hired the wrong dude and everyone started calling him names. I never did. First of all, patience is required while someone is learning (unless you want to drive yourself crazy and create all kinds of premature judgments). And secondly, unless you believe that Tepper is a liar, you had to know that he wasn't going to let the Panthers spiral forever. There is little doubt in my mind that he's going to get the team straight, and once he does, it's going to stay that way.

[rippadonn]

Jumping the gun here. He's cleaning a mess he created. What is so noble about that? Yeah, clean that sh*t up!

[GRWatcher]

Well he's not Irsay.
