I'm not sure they'd need him to.

They've got Morgan, Caldwell, Brown, Capers and several other voices on staff more qualified to offer input than Tepper.

With all those really good football minds combined, I feel sure they can and will reach a common conclusion on the QB that best fits the Panthers long term plan to succeed.

It’s been obvious from day one that Tepper lets his football people make the decisions. He’s never been a meddling owner despite what some here believe for some reason.  Made a mistake in his first decision on a coach, but beyond that there haven’t been any problems.

Fitt was in on the darnold trade also , and cj Henderson and Baker Mayfield 

I hope it's mostly up to Riech 

I'd love to know for sure how much of these deals, and Gilmore too, was Fitt and how much was Rhule. We never will though.

Yea I lump keeping Ron too long in the “coaching decision”. Rock hill has nothing to do with the football team so who cares. 

Not having the state of the art practice facility Tepper promised has nothing to do with the team? There was also the field level box seat mess as well. I recall it ticked off quite a few fans.

Sorry, if I was the head cheese and owned 100% of some sports team, you beat your sweet ass Id have some input where it wasnt needed. 

A lot of us probably would...

...and we'd likely screw it up just as badly as Tepper (or even worse) 😕

Okay where did the sudden switch to the 3-4 in Tepper's first year of football involvement come from? If Tepper didn't give a direct suggestion he had to have made his preferences known. He wants to be Pittsburgh. Wanted to be. Ron wanted to keep his job. 

I feel like he put a lot of pressure on Rhule to get a QB which may have led to what looked like desperation mode mentality.

Dang that video got me all giddy over whoever we pick! I know that there are threads specifically about this, but 2 good, veteran receivers, a top RB with good hands a pass catching TE, a top 5 O-line with everyone returning, Reich and McCown being former QB's, Dalton fully accepting that his job is to get you ready for week 1... oooh weee man! You gotta be praying that the panthers draft you.

I was told by someone with knowledge of the situation that we were using the Appaloosa Method and Tepper was secretly manipulating everything from behind the scenes 😐

Seriously though... There have definitely been problems, most of which stemmed from temper putting his trust in the wrong people (specifically Hurney, then Rhule). That plus his own admission that he came into the league thinking he was going to show everybody how it was done.

The good thing is he's learned from his mistakes.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
