Quick: Tepper not pulling the strings

It's so crazy to imagine it any other way. 

Owner - pays the bills and has input in decisions, but does not decide per se

GM - key decision maker. walks the tightrope between coaching/players/personnel (Reich, coordinators, players), the directors and behind the scenes guys (Morgan, Suleimann, etc.) and the Owner

HC - runs the on-field product and runs up to the GM his vision/requests/design needs. Works hand-in-hand with GM and has input into decisions.

In the vast majority of successful NFL franchises, this is exactly how it works.

And yeah, it does sound like Tepper wound up eating a healthy dose of humble pie after his first few years in the league.

I hope she's right. Let the football folks decide. Hopefully he's like a lot of the Huddle who would be happy with whoever these guys land on. There's a sizeable Stroud contingent, a sizeable Young contingent, and then a large contingent of "please god just let whoever we draft be great" contingent.

I'm willfully choosing to believe the majority fall in that third category lol.

You forgot the "please god just don't let it be Levis or Richardson and I'm good" contigent. That would be me lol Honestly would be fine with either Stroud or Young. I think both are going to be really good at the next level.

I'd be fine with Richardson too. I wouldn't have the guts to make that pick though. If we take Richardson that would mean our very experienced QB coaching staff thinks he has what it takes and that they can develop him into an elite NFL QB and given his off the charts talent that would be exciting as hell.

I would be fine with Richardson too.......................at our previous pick at 9. No way in hell you trade up to #1 to take a project. I would be livid honestly.

Josh Allen looked worse against far worse competition and if that draft was redone today he'd be the slam dunk #1 overall pick.

I would imagine if Reich and Fitt are on same page, Tepper agrees.  However if they split on choice Tepper might get involved.  

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.

    • People saying we have no natural center on the team is being disingenuous. Yes he is undrafted, but so was Jeff Saturday. When building a roster, you have to ask people to do multiple things or down right allocate resources to different position groups. This isn't Madden which isn't said enough on this board.  Andrew Raym, C, Oklahoma Center was a position of need for the Panthers before the draft, but they waited until after the festivities to bring one into the building. That center is Andrew Raym, who started 29 games over his final three years at Oklahoma. Raym possesses prototypical NFL size at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds. He uses his strength to his advantage, though analysts noted he has slow hands at the point of attack and can struggle against quicker defenders.  Raym was the anchor of an offensive line that helped the Sooners rank third in the country in yards per game (507.0) in 2023. If he can clean up some of his technical issues and lean into his strengths as a gritty mauler, he could find his way onto the team's final 53-player roster.    
    • fug it.  The Posse 2.0.  We got Monk, now we need our Sanders and Clark.   We have always liked nicknames.  It's what we do instead of winning. 
    • For sure the takes this go around are much more realistic and less prone to simple blind faith. There is optimism but it is about the additions we've made that are being done differently. We are acquiring talent and young talent not low end projects and overpaying to do so. And the fact that so many people are expressing concern about the center position shows the fanbase is finally learning. As I've said before we all want the same thing. There is nothing wrong with difference of opinion. Even with csx we can give each other grief but I've got no beef with him on the whole he's just as committed to the team as me or anyone else. But no one is required to pledge fealty to any coach front office member or owner of this team. For some reason others borderline expect that. I don't get it. But to each his own.
