How much do you think Tepper influenced "the pick"

All I know is ever since he's been owner we've been complete chit. He reminds me of every financial CEO that's existed. He thinks he knows everything about everything. Complete pompous prick. The reality is he clearly knows nothing about football. Worst thing to ever happen to the Panthers.

I think you guys waste way too much of your time worried about Tepper. Every single one of the Panthers failures plays out on the field, and he is the least replaceable person out of everyone in this organization.

The point is to discover what is the issue so we know if we should cease paying attention to this team on Sundays and even during the week. Fans have next to no control over anything so whether or not you could fire Tepper is a moot point.

Tepper has been QB chasing since 2020. Wilks and Darnold finally figured something out last year and, for the first time under Tepper, looked like a competent NFL program.

So the team doubles down, right? WRONG. We let Darnold go. Like Foreman go. Trade DJ Moore away. Trade a future 1st and 2nd away, bring in a whole new staff and draft a 5'10 Wunderkind at QB when trading up for QB's in the 1st round has been a failure for everyone going back at least a decade and the list of successful 5'10 NFL QB's can be counted with one or two fingers.

The only plausible explanation is that Tepper was pushing to make the Panthers relevant to national media today, rather than building a sustainable future for tomorrow. 

I said it before rhe draft and I'll say it again now, you Trade up in the 1st for guys like Will Anderson Jr., Jalen Carter, or Anthony Richardson. Physical freaks of nature with the adequate mental aspect to be successful in the league. 

We could've taken Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the 5th and traded down in the 1st. I feel like the ceiling for DTR and Young are probably similar. But if you're drafting a rookie and want to start and win with them right away, they better have played at least three seasons in college but preferably more. 

At any rate, it doesn't matter now. All of us who were "doubters" or "negative" were just immune to the Panthers propaganda machine while the rest of you showed how gullible you can be.

I blame the NFL for forcing one of its boys here instead of Ben Navarro, because he wasn't enough of a rich scumbag. As far as who dictated the draft picks, what difference does that make now? We have who we have.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
