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.

      It doesn't work that way sir. You cannot create a thread expect logical honest discussion and then pick and choose which of his 32 career starts you want to evaluate his entire body of work on. 2023 his YPA was 5.5 For 2025 so far his ypa is 5.4. 5.8 is the average and that is being kind if I'm being honest.

      Somewhat OT - This franchise forgot what it felt like to have an elite talent on defense that helped create the whole unit's je nes sais quoi.   Moehrig hasn't shown it yet.   Horn doesn't give me that; he's a top 10-CB at his best, but I don't get the sense he's this guy who just elevates the unit.  Same goes with DB.  All seem like strong assets moving forward, but it shows with our defensive output being sh*t.   You need at least 2 of those tenacious vocal leaders and captains.  It is MIA entirely from defense (although I think Princely and Ransom are interesting) I know you need the talent, but they just don't seem to elevate around them much.

      Bryce's best season is still Billy Joe Tolliver.  You can't remove everything but his best games and not do the same thing to everyone you're comparing him against. Isn't this getting out of hand?  Why can't we just accept what we've seen for 30 something games?
