More from Joe (same article as before)...

There’s been some buzz that the Panthers could add a senior vice president of football operations to serve as a go-between for Tepper and the coach/GM. Dawn Aponte, the NFL’s chief administrator of football operations, would be a strong candidate for such a role.

Now this is a name I know, not for personnel reasons though. More for personality and authority.

If the idea is to get somebody that can tell David Tepper when he's full of sh-t, Aponte isn't a bad idea at all.

she does have a strong (minded) reputation. and she's a lawyer and an accountant. plus a couple decades experience with the NFL working contracts and stuff. she knows what she's doing and she'd be tough. 

seems too good of an option. makes too much sense.

She's previously worked under Stephen Ross, so she speaks bullsh-t 😕

Basically managing the manager. One of the cushiest jobs in corp if you know how to deal with ego

Lemme throw another potential name in here:

Browns Assistant GM Catherine Raiche

How good is she? Don't honestly know, but she's risen up the ranks and is generally considered likely to be the leagues first female GM.

Gotta believe Tepper would love to be able to say he's the guy that hired her.

If she played a role in the pursuit of Desean Watson and his contract, I don't want her.

It had to be done.  Although I do wonder how handicapped he was working with Ruhle.  And if he had final say over Fitt.  

That's Richardson's point.

Rhule had full control, but even after Rhule was gone he still had to work with Tepper.

Beyond that though, Fitterer was willing to collaborate (read: submit) to the wishes of even assistant coaches like Ben McAdoo.

Working for a head coach is basically the job, but if you start listening to everybody, you wind up with no vision of your own.

Floyd Reese always said he hated having coaches take part in the scouting process. The ultimate finale here is a pretty good testimony that he was probably right.

When everybody is in charge, nobody's in charge.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
