Cam Newton made Tepper an offer he can't refuse. Newton for President.

Tepper hasn’t liked Cam since that video came out with Cam asking how he made his money, seemed to irritate Tepper… 

Cam is a confident individual who doesn't hold back and bite his tongue. I haven't seen any indication that Tepper would be too tolerant of folks like that. The one guy who he's let hang around that I thought would be that guy (Smitty) has sadly pretty much turned into a lapdog. I don't think it's a coincidence that Tepper went all in on a QB prospect who comes across as one of the most timid acting franchise QB prospects I've ever seen. I mean, think about it. Have you ever seen a guy who was tabbed as a potential franchise QB at any point whether it was leading up to the draft or a non-1st round pick who showed promise at some point act as sheepish as Bryce does? It's weird. Most football folks would be turned off by that. Then you have Scott Fitterer at GM who took what was essentially a GM in title only role without final roster say to be a wet nurse for a college coach who was floundering. Real viable GM candidates with ambition don't take that job. A lot of fans have talked about how we don't have any dogs on this team and lack "alphas" (as cringe as that term is) but I just don't think Tepper is likely to tolerate those types for long.

Unfortunately an organization needs those types because not every person can be that type. When I think about it you are right, I dont think we have one of those types at all.

If you don't know who Dipper is after 6yrs of ownership you haven't been paying attention or you're personally delusional... hes a megalomaniac drunk on 20bill

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
