Dude - you're just being a fool if you think Tepper doesn't meddle.  Did Jerry Richardson go on pro days in 2011?  He met Cam once and signed off on the pick but he let his people do their job 

Do I think the owner should meet the player selected #1 overall by his team? Yes. #1 overall players are generally franchise changing level talents, especially if that player is a QB. It's natural for the owner to want to meet them before the team picks them and invests in them and the future of the team. 

Do I think the owner should be at all the scouting events, pro days, and analyzing that player's value on the football field? Unless that owner is a professional scout or football administrator, the answer is a resounding no.

And I thought up until the last statement, it was telling that he talked about conviction around Bryce in "past tense".  He probably then saw the faces in the room and realized he needed to say something positive about Bryce.  

CJ Stroud was clearly the best pick in the draft, and Bryce not likely to  even be the second best when it's all said and done.

He also admitted the original plan was to go to pick #2 and take CJ Stroud.

Because Young would be taken at 1, so Stroud was the next choices. But they’ve said this before so I don’t know how you are surprised by this?

People are really in here trying to run interference for Tepper after that mess lol

 

I just don't know what people expect.  He is a billionaire owner and alpha male type business man.  He is not going to completely humble himself publicly.

At a minimum, he acknowledged fans frustrations that they way he has done things haven't been anywhere near successful.  

It also appears that Fitterer is on the way out.

He didn't confirm/deny that he would hire a coaching firm.   But that doesn't mean he wont.

He seemed slightly more humbled than he has been.  He still sucks but I'm reserving hope that he handles this search the correct way.

 

His poo about the music and events is whack and tone deaf.

I got the complete opposite. He took a press conference following the firing of yet another head coach only 11 games into the first season in the midst of one of the most disastrous seasons in team history and used it as an opportunity to once again blovate and toot his own horn about his knowledge of running a professional football operation. He dodged the subject of Fitterer.

I didn't get any level of humility or possible inkling of a willingness to cede any level of power to an outsider to run the operation for him.

This was absolutely more of the same.

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

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

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
