The Panthers have been really good at keeping things quiet....

“He who shall not be named” was the type that didn’t get the nuances or garner the respect in a room. If at the end of the day, it was mostly his decisions as Panthers czar, then the people who’s advice he wasn’t taking seriously likely had no problem texting media/analyst types about things.

Right now, it seems we have Dave, Scott, Sul, Dan & the staff collaborating with each other and none of them have any interest in leaking things out. The objective is collaboration, respect and growth. No incentive to overflow with leaks subtract misdirection.

Did some thinking this morning and I am realizing that this is the most concealed that this office has ever been. Seems like every expert, analyst, or media source has been dead wrong when trying to forecast what our plan is. 

If you think about recent years under who shal not be named ... we knew everything and our moves were predictable. 

So here is my question to the huddle.... Why do you think this is? How have we become so good at keeping things internal?

My theory: Respect. I believe our FO/Staff has a lot of respect around the league and when they have conversations with other offices, they keep the door shut.

 

Let me know your thoughts.
 

I think of it is the whole beat writers suck. No one has legit "insider" sources. Most times now panthers.com will post an article minutes after all the joes, daves, and elliss post one "breakin" twattar news. 

Plus normally you have to built up the relationship and earn trust, theres been a massive staff turn over and a couple new FO types. The rhule crew were not here longer enough to start leaking and the only hold overs are one year campy&tabor.

Maybe Im off - feel free to share material of someone predicting our offseason coaching hires and offseason acquisitions. 
 

Then we can close this thread.

Did you not have a person who is not high in the organization giving you information?  I might be wrong or misinterpreting your meaning.

I can see where this question is coming from... I wouldnt bucket this into this category since this is a friend of mine just sharing his observations from an unofficial capacity. He isn't in the rooms or having conversations with decision makers. 

He is walking by and seeing stuff on boards and screens.

I did not know the context, which is why I asked.  So you are referring to leaks that are coming from an official capacity--from people with first hand info.

However, I would say that if the tightness of information is that intentional, that everyone in the building would be silenced--but you are basically saying the info you get is second hand and based on interpretations of snapshots that may not be valid.  I would think if the Panthers found out that he was doing this, he might get into some hot water, based on the thread title.  I agree--things have been very quiet compared to prior regimes.

It's not that concealed.  They spoke in plain site.  Fitterer told us that if they move up they better be all in one guy.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
