The barometer on whether Tepper has learned ANYTHING in this clusterbomb is what he will do with Fitter on Monday

If Scott F stays, that means Tepper is not about to relinquish quasi control on football personnel / operations, he wants a yes man who presents to him and Nicole FA options / draft options to choose. It has become clear as day that Scott Fitterer is no more than middle management paper tiger, just does what the boss tells him to do and will be the fall guy when needed. Fitterer's body of work is damning enough for any reasonable owner to fire him.

 

If Fitter is fired and we hired a true President of football, a competent GM and start a true coaching search, then MAYBE Tepper has called other owners and taken heed as to ways to run a team (Biscotti comes to mind, GREAT owner in a small/er market)

Fitt is Tepps yes man, so I wouldn't be shocked if he stays. He already apologize to him for getting him to trade to #1 when they had a deal to move up to #3.

Tepp may feel like it's not all on Fitts since he is the real one calling shots and overriding some calls.

Big picture, I don't think he has learned anything.  I think he is learning small ones.  That largely don't matter given the primary problem.   Primary problem is Tepper.  And Tepper thinks he can fix it by staying involved.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
