Agreed 100%
 

TBH I’ve never been as hard on Tepper as most of you guys, the Rhule hire was terrible that’s for sure. But he’s a brand new owner and seems to have learned from his mistakes since. This staff we have now is the most talented group of coaches this team has ever had. Willing to trade up to #1 …  also spending in free agency (and coaching hires) willing to make the big splashes (that JR never would make), . If they hit on the QB, then it’s a home run since the Rhule firing.

 

During the Bucs game this year - my friend hooked up his season tickets, very nice seats under the owners box - and after we scored a TD, I looked up to Tepper and he acknowledged me and we did an air fist bump. Could you imagine ever waking up JR from his nap trying to get any emotion or connection from of the guy… yes there have been head scratching moments (the comment about live music in Charlotte) but I’m all aboard the Tepper-train at this point.

 

and hey the MLS team is pretty sweet, I know they get a lot of hate around here… but the man is making business moves in Charlotte and investing in the city. I also saw Panthers fans with their shirts off at games this year (HEAVEN FORBID we have an actually football atmosphere). Just look at the crowd at CFC games, we need that energy in The Bank!! Let the man cook!!

I mean, the coaching staff is like going McDonalds to Ruth’s Chris.  There is no denying that. 

But we don’t know what Tepper really is.  Bad owners are bad owners.  Add talent or coaches…..they generally show themselves regardless.   NFL is generally pretty clear.  Based on track record, if you had to slant Tepper as good or bad he does look like he might be a bad one to date.  But it’s too early to know 

I judge who Tepper is by how much he stays out of things.

So far this offseason, he's doing pretty well.

Do we know that?  

I mean you have decent odds of landing a pretty good QB prospect where we were.  Maybe that’s largely Dave that wanted to give up our 2023, 2024 and best player for the #1.  

He tried to go for Watson last offseason. Stafford.   Always looking for a big splash that often ran counter to the “narrative” we were trying to build things from the ground up and take it slowly.  He just struck out on making it happen.   But we kept trying for something big.  

Who knows.   Whatever Tepper is or isn’t….a I doubt it is going to drastically change.

From the behind the scenes stories of the search, yeah we do.

What we don't know is if he'll continue.

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.

I want nothing to do with Young. If you want to see endless balls being batted down like Mayfield, he's your man. Let Houston have him. I want CJ. He's just too small

Your already praising him before the team has took the field, like we won the superbowl or something ?

Reich hasn't done poo yet, save your superbowl parties till he produces on the field , we don't even know if he will be better than Rhule, and if this does crash and burn , we will have to live with the fact we could have had an offensive genius who has won the superbowl has a HC , but Tepper didn't call him back 

David Tepper is still the idiot he has always been has far has I'm concerned

I want CJ, but I did read (take this fwiw) that he had remarkably few batted balls in college compared to other qbs.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
